I received my master of science degree from Eastern Washington University in applied psychology: emphasis in mental health counseling in 2013. I received my doctorate in counselor education and supervision with an emphasis in consultation in 2019 from Walden University. I currently hold a license in mental health counseling (Credential #LH60551019) and a certification as a substance use disorder professional (Credential #CP60461357). I am also a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors. I have worked in the field of counseling for 11 years. I have experience with a wide variety of ages from ages four to later adulthood, although I specialize with teens and adults. I also have experience working with both mental health and addiction. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am currently a full-time faculty member in the masters in clinical mental health counseling program and addiction counseling emphasis at Colorado Christian University. I am currently an approved supervisor in the mental health and addiction fields in Washington in accordance with WAC 246-809-234. Therapeutic Orientation I operate from an integrated theoretical orientation with a foundation in person-centered therapy. As a therapist, I am always person-centered in my demonstration of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I believe that no one approach works for everyone. Thus, I integrate various theories into my person centered approach based on the presenting issues of each client. Theories I often integrate, include: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), existential theory, Adlerian theory, reality therapy, feminist theory, and gestalt techniques. I am also competent in play therapy, sand tray therapy, moral reconation therapy (MRT), and Love and Logic parenting strategies. *NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b8571df5fae73129e68ef/62968595-6686-4f42-9802-502fdd85a6ac/Head+shot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b8571df5fae73129e68ef/e7c275cc-6040-4cec-b4a1-593b757fbb67/DSC00722.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b8571df5fae73129e68ef/f8a1720e-be62-458e-abd0-d5159cf3b985/IMG_8711.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b8571df5fae73129e68ef/45020259-bdea-415a-8a4b-a7970e412ffc/276284027_10220579158205065_776838130843178093_n.jpeg https://www.heartspringcounseling.org/contact daily 0.75 2025-08-25 https://www.heartspringcounseling.org/newclients daily 0.75 2024-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591809300101-EYDRWIYMF88LH58RQ8TW/image-asset.jpeg New Clients - In this Section… Taking the first step toward change can be hard and finding the right fit for you is important.

We believe our purpose is to share the importance of uplifting each other and helping to experience the power of God's love. Our mission is to utilize peer-to-peer interactions that influence individuals and communities. We strongly value and practice compassion, courage, vulnerability, optimism, and kindness with everyone. We believe that preparation breeds greatness-highlighting the things that set us up to be our greater selves. We have a mindset that values progress over perfection, which always leaves room for growth. Most importantly, we believe that God is always at work whether we see it or not. Resilience is strength. Kindness and forgiveness are our driving forces. Wisdom, vulnerability, and appreciation feed into our gift of life. We stand for justice, we stand for love, and of course, we stand for connection, because these are what make us blessed in the storm. https://www.blessedinthestorm.com/ https://www.heartspringcounseling.org/blog daily 0.75 2023-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b8571df5fae73129e68ef/9bbe111d-508d-4140-a341-a84a9b690e0c/4F2FE887-A86E-47B9-9201-FFB52D6601A0.jpeg https://www.heartspringcounseling.org/our-approach daily 0.75 2024-11-04
