Currently accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Spokane, WA.

I have a passion for helping individuals dealing with stressors from challenging or dysfunctional work environments, whether it is your high stress job or dealing with bullying at work.

People are relational beings, and one of the most important relationships we have is the one we have with ourselves. Do you struggle to understand or treat yourself well? Does this lead to struggles in your personal happiness, or tension in your interpersonal relationships? Do you find it hard to cope with life's challenges without getting disregulated? This is where counseling comes in. I work with my clients to provide a safe space for you to explore your sense of self and improve your ability to navigate life's joys and challenges in a way that works best for you.

Recognizing the need for change in your life can feel daunting. Therapy allows for a safe, supportive space wherein creating positive change is the focus. Although the path to wellness and healing is often filled with twists and turns, you do not need to walk this path alone. Therapy is at its core an authentic encounter between two humans with inherent worth, capacity for insight, and tendency for growth. My goal is to join you as a fellow traveler and walk alongside you as we work together to identify strengths, pockets of joy, and rich meaning in your life.

My heart is for those struggling in their relationships. At our core, we as humans are built with a craving for connection. However, just because the need is innate doesn't mean it is easy - in fact experiencing relationships that heal and last can be the exact opposite. You may be in a season where your relationships feel stuck, hopeless, hurtful, and frustrating. The way towards peace and revitalization can seem distant if not impossible. I see you and want to join you in your journey towards meaningful and authentic connection. Whichever relationship it may be, with the self, your family, or a partner, it is time for restoration.

I provide counseling services for children, youth, young adults, adults and families.

I have been a social worker for over 20 years having been honored by people who have shared their lives with me. I believe everyone has the "answers" within themselves. When one's positive capacities are supported, one is more likely to act on their strengths. I would like to help you bring out your strengths and "answers" in yourself.

Are you struggling with unwanted thoughts about the past or scary things that could happen in the future? When having distressing thoughts, life can feel out of control. We may try to cope by avoiding situations that we once enjoyed. We may engage in compulsive behaviors that cause temporary relief but keep our thoughts and behaviors looping. Our relationships may also be impacted as we push people away or try to convince others of our worth. Through therapy, you can build security within yourself and in your relationships by facing your fears and responding in healthier ways that align with your goals and values.
