Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward healing by seeking help. It is important that the relationship between you and your therapist is a good fit, based on mutual respect and trust. I use a strength-based and practical approach. I have a sense of humor which seems to help clients feel more comfortable. Therapy's primary focus is on the present with an understanding of the effects of past events on current behaviors and the need to process unresolved issues. "The turmoil of the past is never wholly forgotten, unresolved it seeps through even the strongest foundation."

Hello. My hope as your therapist is to create a safe and comfortable place for children, teens, adults and families to learn new skills to communicate and manage their emotions and free themselves of the burdens of the past they carry and the negative thought and behavioral cycles that trap them in a life that does not allow them to reach their goals and experience the maximum amount of joy in their lives.

Each of us experiences times in our life when pain, stress, confusion, or despair overwhelms and consumes us, or when we find ourselves stuck in patterns that we can’t seem to escape, desiring change but unsure of where to begin. It takes courage to admit our need for help, and even more so, to ask for that help. And yet, this is often where healing begins – when we allow another person to come alongside us, help us to see what we can’t see, and offer a sense of hope when hope is hard to find.

I believe that every person deserves the highest quality of care and that treatment decisions should be based on more than just opinion. I make an ongoing effort to keep up with the latest scientific research and offer only scientifically evaluated treatments, known as Evidence Based Practices (EBP). I place a high value on developing a warm, collaborative relationship between client and therapist and implementing EBPs in a way that honors the values and preferences of the client and family. I believe that well researched treatments provided by a skilled and engaging therapist will result in the most effective treatments.

You may notice that everyday demands feel exhausting, social situations take extra energy, or that you’re often managing anxiety, sensory overload, or burnout that others don’t fully understand. Life can feel overwhelming when your mind processes the world differently than those around you. Many neurodivergent adults have spent years adapting, masking, or pushing through—often at the expense of their emotional wellbeing. Therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand your experiences, build coping strategies, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Maybe you're the person everyone leans on, but inside you feel anxious, stuck, or not quite like yourself. Maybe old patterns in relationships, in how you talk to yourself, in how safe it feels to be close to people keep showing up no matter how much you've already figured out. You might be navigating a big life change, questioning your identity, or just sensing that something under the surface is ready to shift. I work with adults, including folks who are neurodiverse, queer, bi, or exploring non-monogamy, who want to feel steadier, more like themselves, and more connected in their relationships.

Unfortunately I am not currently taking new clients. I view problems as not within one person, but within the interactions between people and their environment. I work to help clients develop skills and insight to better manage their lives, while at the same time working to balance relationships. I value the insight and skill each client brings to therapy and work with clients' own strengths to help them reach their goals. Symptom relief is my initial focus with clients, but it is only a first step in the therapy process. Subsequently, my focus shifts toward working with clients to address the underlying problems in their lives.

Something in you is asking a bigger question. Maybe your marriage has grown quiet. Maybe the life you built no longer feels like yours. I work with adults and couples in that disorienting middle space between who you were and who you're becoming, including people navigating faith deconstruction and religious trauma, and artists whose inner lives don't fit neatly into a treatment plan. Some of this work is practical: repairing conflict, changing patterns that keep failing you. Some of it is slower, listening for what's stirring underneath. Usually both. I see clients in Spokane and online across Washington.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of unfulfilling relationships? Perhaps you're struggling to communicate effectively with your partner, repeating patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and misunderstood. Or maybe you're single and notice that every relationship seems to hit the same roadblocks. The weight of relationship challenges can show up as anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of loneliness. You might find yourself overthinking every interaction or feeling like you're losing yourself in relationships. If this resonates, you're not alone – and there is a path forward.

Maybe you're exhausted — managing anxiety, a new medical diagnosis, a new baby, a life transition or the grinding weight of a hard season of uncertainty. You might be a person who's been strong for everyone else while quietly struggling. Or someone navigating addiction recovery who needs a therapist who's seen it all and won't flinch. Wherever you're starting from - I'll meet you there. I work with adults 19+ across Washington state who are dealing with anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD, chronic illness, ADHD, childhood trauma and life transitions — and who are ready to find relief and support.

Everyone faces challenges in life, but you don't have to go through it alone. Healing happens in relationships -in our connections to self, community and the environment. As a clinician, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and treatment is a collaborative process led by the client with guidance from the clinician. My primary goal is to provide support to individuals and families to help them find the best solutions for themselves to achieve their goals. In session I utilize strengths-based, values-driven and person-centered techniques to help clients find their own path to optimal health and wellbeing.
