Helping Veterans, Men, Couples, and Teens Find Connection and Healing

With over 20 years of military service and professional experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand the unique challenges that veterans, men, couples, and families face. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, relationships, and goals for the future.

I specialize in:

Veteran and military family counseling

Men’s therapy for stress, identity, and relationships

Teen counseling to support growth and resilience

Couples counseling using the Gottman Method

Trauma-focused therapy for healing and recovery

I provide in-person counseling in Spokane, Washington, serving both Washington and Idaho residents, as well as telehealth therapy across the state of Idaho. Whether you prefer to meet face-to-face in my Spokane office or online, I work with clients to uncover the beliefs, emotions, and patterns that may be holding them back — and help them discover new ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting.

Military Experience and Expertise

Having served in the military for two decades, I bring firsthand understanding of deployment, reintegration, and the stressors that military families face. This lived experience allows me to connect deeply with veterans and service members, offering counseling tailored to the realities of military life, trauma, and transition.

Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches

I draw on several evidence-based therapeutic methods to match the unique needs of each client:

Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring how past experiences shape present relationships.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – identifying and changing negative thought patterns.

Motivational Interviewing – strengthening motivation for personal growth and change.

Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) – healing from trauma with proven strategies.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2) – improving communication, intimacy, and trust in relationships.

My Approach to Therapy

Clients often describe my style as warm, conversational, and collaborative. I like to bring humor and openness into sessions, making therapy a space where you feel comfortable sharing both challenges and successes. Together, we will work toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
