Therapists in Riverside, Spokane, WA

Welcome. Navigating the challenges of today's world can be hard to do alone. This journey can feel even more difficult when we are dealing with negative feelings and stressful events. I believe therapy is more than a place to talk about our feelings and experiences. Therapy should provide a warm and welcoming safe environment. It should be free of judgments and offer you the space to form a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship on your own terms. As a therapist, I strive to provide transparency and compassion in a setting that is never rushed and always client lead, via Telehealth.

I enjoy working with adults who are ready to work on their challenges to create positive change, and a satisfying life. My goal for our work together is to help you increase your resilience, emotional wellness and improve your quality of life. I utilize the techniques that best address your therapeutic goals to empower you to move through difficult situations and develop the insight and skills needed for healing and growth.

We are all on a journey toward deeper healing and connection. My passion is to help couples and individuals experience more satisfying relationships and personal wholeness. I am an empathic, dynamic therapist ready to come alongside people from all walks of life in the sojourn through seasons of growth, challenge, and change. My areas of interest include pre-marital and couples therapy, individual identity development, spiritual and faith issues, family growth, parenting, and child/teen issues. I am also certified in PREPARE/ENRICH, a program for pre-marital and marital couples.

I'm passionate about treating the whole person, which starts with good mental health. My practice is designed to encompass your entire journey with compassion, education, and strategies to achieve your optimal wellness goals. Collaboration on your needs and strengths is the goal of treatment to achieve your best outcomes.

Some things in life just hurt. Most of the time, we don’t have the luxury to just press pause and heal. Life and its demands can pile up, leaving us feeling frustrated and broken. I specialize in helping clients learn practical skills to provide relief and support in getting through day-to-day challenges while digging deeper to heal unattended grief.

My ideal client is tired of being stuck. They feel like they've been in motion, but haven't really moved. They have begun to recognize that the things they have tried just aren't cutting it. As difficult as this may be to admit, they recognize they need help.

My mission is to help clients realign and improve their mental, emotional, and physical health by choosing healthy change. With a mix of practical skills and a sense of humor, I help clients explore current concerns while considering past difficulties and negative patterns. I believe the client has the power to change their thoughts and behaviors. My counseling techniques serve to support and guide those changes.

Recognizing the need for change in your life can feel daunting. Therapy allows for a safe, supportive space wherein creating positive change is the focus. Although the path to wellness and healing is often filled with twists and turns, you do not need to walk this path alone. Therapy is at its core an authentic encounter between two humans with inherent worth, capacity for insight, and tendency for growth. My goal is to join you as a fellow traveler and walk alongside you as we work together to identify strengths, pockets of joy, and rich meaning in your life.

I see my work with my clients as a sacred privilege and responsibility. As a therapist, it is my goal to ensure that you are provided with a safe, open environment where issues can be addressed and tackled head on. My hope is to provide you with the support and tools you need to conquer difficult times and move forward, recognizing your strengths.

As a therapist I am passionate about guiding children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating daily stressors, life transitions, and working towards the actualization of their true selves. I help clients connect with their values and find empowerment to create meaningful change in their lives. I have experience working with a variety of clients seeking guidance and healing for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, coping skills, and support through the ever changing stages of life.

Welcome! I understand that life can throw various challenges our way, and I take pride in providing a safe space for you to talk, think, laugh, and cry. Do you find yourself frozen in time with racing thoughts that just won't stop? Do you notice that it is hard to find the time and energy to get things done? Are you facing challenges with being more present and engaged in your life and with those around you? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression, I can help you manage the unhealthy core beliefs and views that are contributing to your struggles and holding you back.

Resolved Counseling offers intensive marriage counseling from married counselors. Our unique co-counseling approach offers you and your spouse individual counseling and couples coaching in 2-hour sessions. Many couples are stuck in a repeating pattern of conflict, re-enacting the same role and arguing about the same thing over and over again. Once this pattern becomes established it gets harder and harder to break. This is because of almost universal human flaws that play out in relationships: the blame game, fear of rejection, desire to be right and win, and ingrained roles & rules that create the very problem we wish to solve.

It's hard to find time and space just for you in this busy world, and it is my goal to provide just that. I believe that we are all humans doing our best to navigate this messy and complex life and am passionate about helping people explore their past, present, and future to discover their unique strengths, address barriers, and grow in meaningful and sustainable ways. As a therapist it is important to me to maintain curiosity and a non-judgemental stance while offering acceptance, connection and perspective.

I believe that the events that have shaped our lives impact us, but don’t have to limit us from wholehearted living and finding joy. I value working alongside individuals in a compassionate, accepting space to help you learn strength-based skills and manage life stressors. Therapy is a process and place to heal, acknowledge our resilience and focus on our overall health and well-being.

My aim is to provide you with a warm and welcoming space for exploration, healing, and growth. I prioritize building a sound therapeutic relationship while supporting you in making the changes you want for your life including addressing depression and anxiety, overcoming negative emotions and shame, mending and building relationships, and helping you attune to your inherent wisdom and strengths. I provide individual (including teens), couple, and sex therapy. I incorporate Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Gottman Couples Therapy.
