Before becoming a therapist, I spent 15 years photographing families and relationships. I noticed the quiet, often unspoken ways we communicate, how much we express through a glance, a posture, or the spaces between us. I saw how much lives beneath the surface in every relationship - the longing to feel close, understood, and valued.

I wanted to move beyond documenting those moments and begin helping people notice and make sense of them, especially the emotional patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, alone, or disconnected from our most important relationships. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Gonzaga University.

Each person and couple I meet brings a unique story. We also all share some of the same feelings - the desire to feel safe, to be known, to matter, and to feel securely connected to others.

I believe that when we can slow down and understand what’s happening underneath our relationship patterns, meaningful change can happen. We can begin to respond to ourselves and each other in new ways—ways that create more connection, clarity, and a deeper sense of belonging. Healing doesn’t come from fixing who you are, but from feeling seen, supported, and understood in the places that matter most.

I offer young adult, adult and couples therapy in Spokane, Washington. I also offer telehealth services across the state of Washington.
