About
With over 20 years of experience working with adults from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds, I have been able to build a broad and diverse understanding and practice that supports increasing understanding, making meaning, and creating positive change.
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of experience working in nonprofit behavioral health, private practice, and higher education settings. I specialize in supporting adults 18 and older facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, personal and professional development challenges, trauma, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders.
I earned my master's degree in community counseling from Gonzaga University. My approach is eclectic, strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I draw from psychodynamic, existential, developmental, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy models to increase insight, build coping skills, and support meaningful change.
I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. Together, we will identify practical tools and personalized strategies to help you manage challenges and move toward the life you want. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Whether you’re in the early stages of love or have a seasoned relationship, managing your differences takes commitment and engagement. These difficulties sometimes require professional assistance to get a neutral perspective, mend wounds, and find new solutions to old problems.

People come to couples therapy with different goals in mind, from resolving a specific issue to developing specific skills to working out amicable terms at the end of a relationship.
When you first start couples therapy, your provider will speak with you about your concerns and goals for therapy in order to create a treatment plan tailored to your preferences. Your couples counselor or therapist may incorporate one or more types of therapy during your sessions, including:
Each form of therapy offers a different set of benefits that can strengthen your connection or help resolve conflict. In narrative therapy, for example, you’ll learn to be the owners of your own experiences. This type of therapy will empower you and your partner to speak your beliefs and to see where your narratives fit into the larger world. You’ll also learn how to separate your problem from yourself, which allows you to view complications more openly and honestly.
In addition to therapy, your provider may also implement self-care techniques and suggest exercises for you and your partner to try together. Some of these exercises may include taking up a hobby together, attentive gazing, or reading educational literature.
Attending couples counseling can have a profoundly positive impact on your emotional and mental health. When you choose to address your concerns with the help of a licensed therapist or counselor, you’re choosing to be an active agent in your life and relationship.
We want you and your partner to flourish. That’s why we offer unparalleled flexibility, including weekend and evening sessions to accommodate your busy lives, as well as online therapy appointments. If something comes up, you can take advantage of our convenient cancellation policy.
