Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Spokane, WA

Welcome to my boutique private practice: Hindsight Counseling, PLLC. I commend you on seeking out therapy. Life can be difficult on its own and we have been in trying times for years now. Therapy can be so helpful when you find the right therapist.

I offer a unique experience to a small caseload of clients. I believe the therapeutic alliance to be paramount, and am dedicated to providing therapeutic care & services that are customized just for you and your individual needs. You deserve a therapist equally committed to being present during session as a professional, and walking-the-walk as a fellow human.

You don’t have to navigate life’s hardest moments alone. I work with individuals and families who are facing crisis, grief, general life challenges, or major life transitions. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to cope with what’s ahead.

As a social worker with experience in medical and end-of-life settings, I understand how complex and heavy these moments can be. I also recognize the challenges of navigating family dynamics. My goal is to provide a steady, supportive space where you can process what you’re going through and feel less alone in it.

Hello, and welcome. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than ten years of experience in psychiatry and a passion for helping individuals achieve lasting mental wellness. I provide compassionate medication management and brief psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, psychosis, sleep difficulties, and ADHD.

I specialize in working with adults and older adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, struggling with boundaries, or carrying experiences that still impact how you move through the world. My work integrates approaches like bibliotherapy, CBT, and DBT to help you process what you’ve been through while building practical skills you can use in your daily life and relationships.

I hold a doctoral degree from a progressive Jesuit school as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Prior, I spent over 10 years in one-on-one home healthcare, studied psychology before nursing, and obtained an EMT certification, with a side interest in Fire and Rescue EMS.

In the past, I considered everything from becoming a veterinarian, an acupuncturist, a wildlife biologist, a gypsy with a fishing boat, a journalist, an underwater welder, an astronomer, an anthropologist, and yes, going to medical school. The nursing field, however, is beautifully versatile, and ended up being on point and on time. I'd like to think I weave into my perspective and practice, threads of all of those other fields.

Exploring the internal world is just an integral part of my life. By now, I'm cozy with cross-cultural/philosophical and belief perspectives surrounding existence, growth, difficult symptoms, and medicines. I've worked with myself - no doubt, but personally and professionally, with a lot of other people for whom it's all been front and center.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.

I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

My goal is that you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood in our work together. I bring a warm, grounded, and collaborative style to therapy, helping adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and long‐standing emotional patterns. I pay close attention to the deeper themes beneath the surface—your beliefs, your protective strategies, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—so we can create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel safe, empowered, and more connected to yourself from the very beginning.

My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan. I support those facing challenges in young adulthood, work stress, self-confidence struggles, impostor syndrome, relationship and family conflict, parenting, retirement, and the search for meaning at every stage of life.
