My philosophy is to work with clients in meeting their individual needs through a person-centered, trauma-informed process wherein I provide a safe environment to work together to determine each client's unique goals and needs. I utilize a variety of evidence-based counseling therapies, as well as culturally relevant techniques, adapted to provide the totals and insights to help clients be successful in achieving their goals. Some therapies I regularly utilize are Cognitive Based Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviora Therapy, Mindfulness and Grounding techniques. I have wide-ranging work and life experience, my goal within the counseling community is to assist others in achieving healthier and happier lives. I have worked with many client issues including substance use disorders, life transitions, relationship counseling, adolescent counseling, anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, bi-polar and personality disorders I have in-person availability at our Spokane office, or telehealth options for long-term scheduling.
