As a Strengths-Based, Solution-Oriented, Cognitive-Behavioral counselor, I keep my attention focused on positives and growth, help you identify and build tools, and focus on developing healthy behaviors and thought patterns.
Hello! Thanks for checking out my page. I have over 20 years experience and offer both in-person therapy in Spokane, WA, and telehealth throughout Washington state. You might be like most of my clients - a normally well adjusted, intelligent person, struggling with anxiety or depression. For people like you, counseling really works. If you try counseling, you will know if its working within the first 3-5 sessions. Some people need just a handful of sessions to get back to their old selves, others choose to stay involved to deepen their growth. Whichever you choose is up to you, but taking the first step is most important.

My approach to care employs a blend of evidence- based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Based techniques.
I believe that the power of a therapeutic relationship can be a catalyst for change. In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. You are the expert of your life experiences, and counseling can act as a resource towards achieving your individualized goals.

In general, some of the approaches I found useful in reaching these goals include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Therapy is a very individual process with each person having their own concerns and challenges that they are looking for help with. Maybe it feels like you’re constantly unsure and struggling while everyone around you is doing fine? Or like there are an overwhelming number of issues in the world that worry you and you don’t know what to do? Maybe your life feels like something isn’t working but what that is isn’t clear? Regardless of what you’re struggling with, my overall goal in therapy is to work with you to build up the skills, confidence, and support you need to move into a life that works better for you.

EMDR, CBT, IPT, and MBCT are all modalities which I regularly use.
I have over ten years of experience working with teens and adults under 50. Most of my clients, both male and female, are in some form of transition in their lives. These transitions present themselves as maturation struggles, changing relationships, questioning perspectives, contemplating choices, and finding difficulty with what currently faces them in their lives. These are the times when a trusted assistant is helpful. My clients need to know that they have a safe place, without judgement, to work through their struggles. I provide trust, support, education, and new skills training with each client.

I draw from tools such as CBT, EMDR, and Somatic Internal Family Systems to help clients cultivate their own wisdom and insight.
Hi there! I specialize in helping people navigate the dark difficult edges of life. Darkness might express itself as depression, anxiety, persistent grief, a sense of isolation, suicidal thoughts, a feeling of being stuck, or... a whole mess of things unique to you. In therapy, we work together to build a container that can hold the inevitable fear that comes with exploring dark edges, and the rejected, heavy parts of ourselves that seem to keep getting in our way. It turns out, witnessing and caring for these troubled parts of ourselves, opens up possibility for deep joy, curiosity, emotional courage and life shifting compassion.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
