Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Spokane County, WA
I am not your conventional psychotherapist. My journey into the world of mental health is uniquely shaped by my background as an outdoor journalist and lived experiences of grief, loss, tragedy, and trauma. Driven by a passion to bridge storytelling with holistic healing (I'm a certified psychedelic/ketamine-assisted therapist), I use my sincere interest in the human experience in the therapy setting to treat adults, couples, and families living with shame, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, addiction, and life transitions and questions. As the Sufi poet Rumi once wrote, “The cure for pain is in the pain.”

Do you find yourself struggling with past memories, fear about the future, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overall unsatisfied with your life? With a specialization in trauma I can help you navigate these challenges by identifying how your past continues to impact your present and how unhelpful patterns continue to prevent you from moving forward.

My approach is grounded in Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and somatic approaches to trauma and healing.
As a therapist, I am committed to the belief that people change in the presence of other people. This is what makes the therapeutic experience so transformative – the relational work of therapy provides a new context where you can make sense of & work to unlearn old patterns that no longer serve you, while learning to navigate your inner & outer world with more courage & ease. My approach is highly relational, viewing the need for connection to self, others & the world around us as foundational to human wellness. Together, we work to increase curiosity, vulnerability & emotional flexibility .

My 11 years of clinical practice has focused primarily on working with women who have suffered from trauma (often sexual), substance abuse, and disordered body image/eating disorders.
Counseling is a sacred experience in which a client and therapist venture into hidden pains, untold stories, and the dark parts of life's journey together. As a Christian, I believe that the healing process cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit, the Great Counselor. But as a trained, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I know that faith communities, Christian family members, and other close Christian relationships often fail to authentically meet us in the depths of our despair and sorrow. With me as your counselor, I hope you will find a spaciousness to be your full imperfect self without fear of judgement or shame.

If you have experienced childhood trauma or have PTSD, I will work with you to face the past and to reframe the beliefs that trauma causes.
Wherever you are in your life’s journey, I will meet you there and companion you as you move through the obstacles that have kept you from living fully. Life circumstances, trauma and sometimes simply trying to please others can influence how we live and the choices we make. We find that we are not living authentically. I believe that the goals in therapy are to return to our authentic selves and to make life choices that give us meaning, purpose and joy.
