Pursuing Connections Counseling PLLC
I’m a therapist focused on healing and connection, guiding adults and couples to live authentic lives.
My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an attachment-based model that helps people understand their core emotional needs and build secure connections. I also draw from the Gottman Method and other experiential, person centered approaches that support practical growth in relational dynamics.
I believe that therapy isn’t about fixing who you are—it’s about uncovering who you’ve always been underneath the pain, defenses, and disconnection. Whether you’re an individual longing to reconnect with yourself or a couple trying to repair trust and feel close again, I’m here to support your growth.
I currently practice through Life Directions Counseling, where I’m proud to be part of a team committed to accessible, emotionally focused care. We are located at 25 S Ferrall St, Spokane, WA 99202, and I serve clients across Washington via telehealth.
At Pursuing Connections Counseling, we guide you with warmth and attunement to foster deep connections and personal growth. Therapy is a safe space to uncover your authentic self and build meaningful relationships.
My journey shapes my empathy as a therapist.
Like you, I wear many hats: I’m a partner, friend, colleague, therapist, and part of a vibrant community. I understand how your intersecting identities—parent, partner, and professional—can bring overwhelming responsibilities that sometimes feel unmanageable.
I experienced my own struggles with anxiety and disconnection early in life, grappling with unprocessed emotions that left me feeling stuck. Therapy became my lifeline, helping me find clarity and connection through compassionate support. That journey shapes how I guide you today.
When we work together, you’ll have more than a trained therapist—you’ll have a compassionate partner who truly gets what it’s like to navigate life’s challenges and is here to help you heal and thrive.
Deeply understanding your emotions and experiences from your perspective, creating a safe space for healing.

Infusing our work with optimism, recognizing your potential for growth and transformation, even in life’s challenges.
