Kaiser (Out-of-Network) Therapists in Spokane, WA

Oftentimes, people in the LGBTQIA+ community come to therapy with a host of interconnected struggles that all tie together somehow. I am here to support anyone who asks for help. The ideal client is someone who comes to therapy with an open mind, willingness to talk and explore the issues they struggle with - be it issues with gender dysphoria, sexuality, depression, anxiety, or any other issue they struggle with in life.

Individual and group sessions are available. We can help you to end conflict, chaos, or other overwhelming feelings in your life. At Heart to Heart we offer safe, understanding, confidential, non-judgmental help. Insurance is billed for you and a sliding scale is available if needed.

I view counseling as a collaborative effort to help individuals recognize their strengths, identify needs, understand conflicts, discover new options, set personal development goals, and make informed choices that are congruent with their values.

I have a Master's degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Marriage and Family Therapy, and have been in practice for over 25 years. I am a Washington State designated as a Child Mental Health Specialist and a Registered Circle of Security Parent Educator. Over my years in practice, I have worked with families, couples, adolescents, and individuals. The goal of therapy is to help you understand yourself and others within a relationship. My goal is to help you see your behavior patterns at a processing level, so you may disrupt these patterns for new, healthy behaviors. For example, ending chronic people-pleasing habits.

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.

I am available virtually to serve anywhere in Washington state. I work with clients ages 18 and older who encounter issues related to anxiety, depression, challenges with self esteem, adjustment issues, and trauma/PTSD. Sessions are client led and focused to support learning of new techniques to heal, build skills for coping with stressors and triggers, and an overall improved sense of well-being.

I am dedicated to working with people who feel lost mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. When someone loses their clarity, they lose sight of the goals, dreams, and interests that once enlivened them. I would love to help you regain your sense of purpose and passion for life. I am also grateful when I get to work with people who are in a rut within their relationship and need tools to regain greater connection.

Life is hard. We are going too fast in too many directions, and we haven't had time to heal from things that are still hurting us. Divorce, peer issues, relationship problems, family dynamics, stress, and just being human is HARD. I have learned that what people often need is to tell their stories from a safe place and have someone truly hear them and see them. I want to honor your story. Life is messy. Let's talk.

It's all about you! When it comes to therapy, I focus on your needs in that moment. Client centered AF! My practice emphasizes the whole person, considering the eight dimensions of wellness: emotional (how you feel), environmental (toxic friends), financial (can you afford that Starbucks daily), intellectual, occupational (why are you still in that job you hate), physical (are you eating right, get enough sleep lately), social (hybernate much), and spiritual (who or what you praise is your business). I specialize in supporting women through significant life changes such as breakups, career shift, or parenting. Together we elevate!

I have experience primarily with teens and adults. In sessions, I am able to utilize a variety of techniques depending on your needs. This can range from evidence based techniques, such as CBT and DBT, all the way to using art to access our subconscious. My passion is working with those who struggle with depression and anxiety. I am an associate counselor, which means I am under close supervision as I earn the hours needed to practice independently. I work for a practice that believes strongly in a natural, holistic approach. We will not push medication.

Accepting clients for our clinic only - These days, it can feel like life is moving too fast for us to keep up. This is made all the more challenging when we struggle with such things as unhealthy relationships, intense negative feelings, poor self-image, or trauma. You may worry that getting help means enduring an uncomfortable process that may not result in any notable change. I believe that therapy does not have to be painful to be successful. That it can be infused with moments of laughter and insight. It is about determining why we are stuck as well as figuring out how to create and maintain practical positive changes.
