Facing tough times requires professional support and individualized care

Enduring support and solidarity are vital in tough times, regardless of their duration, strengthening our unity and resilience.

In tough times, it’s crucial to maintain solidarity and consistently support each other through adversity, fostering resilience together.

Weathering tough times together demands unwavering support and solidarity, regardless of the timeline we face challenges as a unified front.

Staying united and supportive is vital during challenging periods, no matter how long they may endure together as a team.

My Professional Background

My journey to becoming a therapist was challenging and involved set backs

After earning my bachelor’s degree in English Literature in 2008, I failed, fell down, and made plenty of mistakes. Later I pursued a career in mental health counseling. I believe that no one gets out of life uninjured…

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating life’s challenges has taught me the value of adaptability and resilience. Each experience, whether a setback or success, has shaped my ability to empathize with and support others in their own journeys.

I am not a medical doctor, nurse practitioner, or prescriber. Medicines are ultimately always a decision between you and a prescriber. I have a master’s degree and thousands of hours of additional training in talk therapy. I am a talk therapist.

I am only licensed in Washington State. You need to be in Washington State to participate in counseling with me. With that being said, you can be anywhere in Washington State and work with me via telehealth. I have an office for in person services in Spokane.

Availability ebbs and flows depending on many factors. Oftentimes I have some openings within the next few weeks if you can make it work with your schedule. Typically my hours are Monday-Friday 8 AM to 5pm. 

I am not a religious counselor. I try very hard not to bring my own personal religious thoughts which are mostly agnostic to sessions with clients. The same applies to politics. My opinion does not matter, and I try to remain neutral and allow you to explore your thoughts. Therapy is about you, and I try to remain openminded, non-judgmental, and neutral so we can explore you.

I feel many therapists inflate their experience when in actuality they have only been licensed a few years. I want to answer this as clearly as possible. I was a licensed mental health counselor associate from 2018 until 2020. I have been a fully licensed mental health counselor since 2020. Previously I was a licensed school counselor, an employment specialist, a teacher, a receptionist, a manager, and a federal case worker.
