Sometimes, hope and a little guidance in a safe, judgement free atmosphere is all you need to get back on your desired path and I would be honored to help you on this journey! I am a Christian Counselor and can help to offer guidance and encouragement in the healing process.

Hello! Thanks for checking out my page. I have over 20 years experience and offer both in-person therapy in Spokane, WA, and telehealth throughout Washington state. You might be like most of my clients - a normally well adjusted, intelligent person, struggling with anxiety or depression. For people like you, counseling really works. If you try counseling, you will know if its working within the first 3-5 sessions. Some people need just a handful of sessions to get back to their old selves, others choose to stay involved to deepen their growth. Whichever you choose is up to you, but taking the first step is most important.

Whether you are experiencing a life transition, working through traumatic events, or find yourself battling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, or anxiety, my goal for you is to allow yourself to be the best version of YOU. I offer telehealth services in the states of Colorado and Washington under clinical supervision. I am here to listen and guide you through your therapeutic experience by enhancing coping skills, increasing positive thought processes and practicing mindfulness.

Once in a while everyone can use another set of eyes on an issue, or a wiser perspective from 30,000 feet. An experienced counselor/coach/guide in practice for 33 years, since 1991, I provide personal counseling, maturation therapy, marital, premarital, and relationship counseling, communication training, conflict resolution, and business coaching for individuals, couples, and small groups. I specialize in helping adult clients grow up. My goal is to address the national epidemic of elongated adolescence, medically & socially-sedated citizens, skyrocketing narcissism, and children raising children, one client at a time.

As a former professional musician and teacher for 25 years, I have witnessed the increasing stress that people face in our hyper-competitive society. As an immigrant, I have also experienced the adjustment stress of being in a new culture, and being in a biracial marriage, I understand the challenges of bringing 2 cultures together. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore with clients their challenges in life. The theoretical approaches I use in therapy are Attachment Therapy, Bowen family systems theory, and other client-centered modalities.

Life is full of unpredictable twist and turns and can leave us emotionally paralyzed, overwhelmed or even surface as health issues. The stressors of life and no outlet can exacerbate these feelings and present as anger, depression and hoplessness. Deep down, if you have ever wondered if there is more to life, than what you are currently experiencing, and you are ready to take the next steps towards “your healing journey”, SafeSpace MHCS is for you.

Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, the coping skills we have learned simply are not enough and we feel overwhelmed and out of control. There is a solution to almost every problem. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

At my very core, I enjoy and cherish people and your stories. That I get to be a part of your process of discovery, growth or healing is a great honor and one that I do not take lightly.
