Great to meet you!

I want to support people in creating change and connecting with their authentic selves. I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychology from Gonzaga University in Spokane. I began my work in social services as a Domestic Violence advocate at a local shelter for women before obtaining my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2005. I worked in community mental health with families and children before starting in private practice in 2010. I work with older teens and adults of all ages. I am comfortable working with a diverse population and will be respectful of your world view, background and life experiences. I am committed to providing a safe place where you feel seen.

My approach to therapy

I have a warm yet direct approach with clients. I offer a flexible style that I can mold based on what you're looking for, from practical communication skills, relaxation and breathing techniques to deeper trauma resolution and integration. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is the container that fosters healthy self awareness and growth.

What you can expect from me

Identify what is not working. Gain clarity and self insight. Sharpen skills managing anxiety, coping with relationship challenges, healing from the past. Support during life's transitions. Support in bringing forth your best most authentic self.
