You deserve time to focus on and explore your needs, to explore your full self, to process challenges that you've experienced, and to be heard and acknowledged for what you've seen in this life. I enjoy working on topics such as life balance, self care, relationships, boundaries, vicarious trauma, and foster/adoptive parenting. There is intrinsic healing when we enter into relationship, and that's what counseling is all about. Counseling is an opportunity to have someone by your side as you navigate the current season of your life. It's about helping you unlock more of the potential that's already inside.
We often strive to integrate ourselves. It is a journey to balance our many roles and practice self-care. I practice with a client-led and solution-focused approach. At intake, we will discuss your reason for seeking support and goals. During treatment, you can expect to discuss how things are going, develop understanding/skills, and evaluate progress.
I'm available in-person or virtually. My office is conveniently located in on the edge of Browne's Addition going into Downtown Spokane. Sessions are about 50 minutes in a modern, casual environment. I hope that you will come as you are as we learn to be transparent, vulnerable and authentic in ourselves.

We are often seeking for our identities to be integrated with our values. For example, I am a Christian, social worker, wife, mother, parent of special needs, foster/adoptive parent, Native American, veteran and survivor, etc. Identifying the related values, strengths and challenges helps in the process of addressing goals, thoughts, behaviors and emotions.

I practice from a person-centered and strengths-based approach. I encourage others to recognize their own dignity and worth. I strongly believe that healing is a collective experience and it occurs within relationship. This is fundamental to trauma-informed care and healing-centered engagement. As a result, I focus strongly on the therapeutic relationship and individualization of services.
