Open to clients via telehealth & in Spokane via telehealth. Spokane location open to in-person in May/June 2026. I support individuals and couples through complex relationships and life transitions.

In sessions, I strive to integrate Solution-Focused strategies, Positive Psychology techniques, Gottman Method Level 1 & 2 training, and targeted CBT tools to foster practical skills, safety, and hope.
I specialize in domestic violence, coercive control, anxiety, depression, grief, and couples concerns. Counseling focuses on communication, betrayal, and trust repair, and household labor using Solution‑Focused, Positive Psychology, Gottman-informed, and CBT tools.
You deserve support that feels safe, validating, and practical as you navigate Chronic pain/illness, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship pain. Healing from coercive control, betrayal, and communication breakdown is hard to do alone—if this resonates, you are warmly invited to reach out and begin this work together

I am far more likely to see what is already going well for you or where you are growing. This allows me to support you in compassionate ways which reflect the successes you're experiencing while also gently challenging the "growing edges" we all have.
