Hi. I’m Angie.

The first thing that I want you to know is that I am deeply passionate about what I do. It's a privilege to sit in a room with another human being and have them share with you their suffering, their joy, their anger, their confusion, their sorrow, their successes. I view the therapy room as a sacred space, where one can truly be themselves, with no judgement, no criticism, only understanding & genuineness.

It is my job to know your story, understand your perspective and guide you with your best interest in mind. I approach therapy with optimism and hope. I challenge my clients to open themselves up to change and personal growth by increasing their awareness around their thought processes, their patterns of functioning and their relationship with others. 

I am a licensed as a marriage and family therapist in the state of Washington. I received my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Whitworth University and am a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). I have training and experience in a number of evidence-based therapies for treating individuals as well as couples and families.

I was raised in the Seattle area and currently reside in Spokane with my husband of 23 years, two teenage kids, and our dog. I also have an adult son in college.

My guiding principles

Non-judgement

I am curious about my client’s choices and approach to life and am passionate to exploring those. No matter what they are. Our sessions belong to you.

 

Compassion

Life is hard. For some people it has been excruciating. I am constantly in awe of what my clients are able to survive. You are safe with me.

Authenticity

I bring my authentic self into our sessions in the hope that it creates safety for my clients to do the same. I want to see the real YOU!

 

Productivity

You should be making progress from session to session. If you are not, we need to explore that and make the necessary adjustments. Your time and money are important and should not be wasted.
