Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Individuals.
Drawing from depth psychology and systemic frameworks, we explore the relationship dynamics, childhood blueprints, and old narratives that shape how you move through the world today. I offer specialized support for:
Life Transitions & Identity: Finding your footing, establishing clear boundaries, and reclaiming your core values during major personal or professional shifts.
Men’s Relational Leadership: Helping men move out of reactive stress and step into purposeful, grounded emotional leadership within their families and careers.
Creative Burnout & Blockages: Helping artists, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigate creative exhaustion and process complex life histories through restorative, creative modalities.
Couples.
I help partners navigate the most defining moments of their shared lives. My practice focuses on equipping couples with the tools to transform conflict into connection, specializing in:
The Transition to Parenthood: Navigating the unique emotional and relational shifts of the post-childbirth period.
Breaking Relational Cycles: Identifying and untangling patterns of codependency to build a foundation of mutual respect and autonomy.
Mastering Communication: Moving beyond surface-level talk to resolve deep-seated conflict and rebuild trust.
Shared Resilience: Guiding couples through the process of grief and loss together, ensuring life’s hardships bring you closer rather than pulling you apart.
Premarital & Major Decisions: Proactive counseling for those preparing for marriage or facing significant life pivots.
Families.
I help families navigate the complex intersections of individual growth and collective connection. My work focuses on strengthening the family unit through:
Navigating Major Transitions: Supporting families through the restructuring that occurs post-childbirth, during career pivots, or following a significant loss.
Breaking Generational Cycles: Identifying and healing patterns of codependency to foster age-appropriate independence and mutual respect.
Conflict Resolution: Equipping parents and adult children with the tools to move past "surface-level" arguments toward deep, empathetic communication.
Healing Shared Grief: Providing a structured, compassionate space for families to process loss together, ensuring that tragedy leads to connection rather than isolation.
The Couples Weekend Intensive
One Weekend. Lasting Change.
Bypass the slow momentum of weekly sessions with an immersive Friday evening and a full Saturday dedicated entirely to your relationship. Hosted at Heartland’s Spokane office, this concentrated format is designed to cut through the noise of daily life, break deep-seated communication cycles, and fast-track your relationship toward a true breakthrough.
A Quick Note on Insurance
Navigating the financial side of therapy can be complex. I offer two primary ways to access my services, depending on the nature of our work together:
Individual Therapy & Insurance
For individuals seeking treatment for specific mental health conditions (such as anxiety and depression), I am able to accept insurance.
Note on Diagnosis: Using insurance requires that I provide your provider with a clinical diagnosis to establish "medical necessity."
Relational & Non-Diagnostic Work (Private Pay)
Couples therapy, family therapy, and specialized "growth-based" work often focus on relational health and life transitions rather than on a clinical mental health diagnosis. For this type of work, I only accept private pay.
Why Private Pay? Most insurance companies do not cover "Relational Problems" because they do not view them as medical illnesses.
The Benefit: Paying out of pocket for this work ensures your total privacy and prevents a mental health diagnosis from being added to your medical record.
Weekend Intensives: Please note that all Weekend Intensives are private pay only due to the condensed, non-traditional format of the sessions.
