INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

or concerns of an individual
COUPLES COUNSELING
Counseling enhances the strength,

FAMILY COUNSELING
Counseling realigns family relation-

The therapeutic experience is created and shared by the willingness of both by the therapist and the client to share and to be
honest with one another. Therapy can be both difficult and rewarding as it brings about change and experiencing
uncomfortable and intense emotions can be a natural to part of that process. Ask questions and encourage yourself to be
curious so that you are better able to work through intense emotions and the recall of unpleasant events. You are encouraged
to discuss any thoughts or feelings you may have and can discontinue therapy at any time should you wish to do so. You may
also request a referral to a new therapist at any time and you can refuse to do any activity you don't feel comfortable with. The
most important aspect of therapy is your experience, so working together to ensuring a positive therapeutic experience is
of the utmost Importance.

Good Thinking Therapy is staffed with fully-trained professionals
that are licensed to practice in the state of Washington.
We bring our experience and knowledge, not only through

therapeutic relationship with each client
We believe in building compassionate, welcoming relationships
that focus on empowering you to live happier, healthier, and more
meaningful lives
Seeking counseling is not easy. It takes bravery and commitment but it allows for the healing to begin
Whether we realize it or not relationships are at the center of who we are as human beings. They encompass our hopes, dreams
and future, as well as our biggest challenges, fears and disappointments.
Whether you are seeking counseling for grief and loss, anxiety, depression, work related issues or some different reason altogether,
relationships play a pivotal part in what you are experiencing.
My philosophy for therapy is focused on building a compassionate, welcoming, and engaging person-centered therapeutic
relationship with each client, that focuses on discovering individual strengths and empowering you to live happier, healthier, and
more meaningful lives.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, and a Licensed Certified addictions counselor. I received my
graduate training from Eastern Washington University Social Work program. I use a CBT framework that is augmented with Solution
Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) informed skills, psycho-education, attachment theory and neurobiology. I
have a holistic approach that focuses on problematic thoughts, emotions and behaviors that get in the way of us living the life we
want to live.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my pets and being in the outdoors, hiking, camping and four wheeling. I
enjoy coffee in the mornings out on my deck, where I can watch the beauty of the Northwest unfold as the bird’s chirp and the sun
comes up to welcome in the new day. The wilder side of me also enjoys loud music, going to concerts, comedy clubs and socializing
with my friends.
