Hi, I’m Tyra.

If you’re here, it’s likely because something in life has brought you to a moment of seeking—seeking support, answers, or maybe just some help and support to figure out what comes next.

My practice areas are working with individuals dealing with grief, trauma and major life transitions, chronic illness, spirituality and end-of-life care.

My mission is to support individuals on their path to healing and help them discover hope, strength, and the possibility of a brighter future.

My Approach


I approach our work together with deep compassion, empathy, and an understanding of the complexities of the issues we struggle to cope with. I believe each person’s story is unique, and my role is to create a safe, nurturing space where clients can explore their issues and challenges supported and without judgment.

My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that healing begins with connection and starting where the individual is. I strive to build trusting relationships with my clients, allowing you to feel seen and heard as you navigate therapeutic work. 

I am committed to lifelong learning and growth as a clinician. By staying attuned to the current best practices, research and methodologies, I ensure that my practice evolves in response to the diverse needs of those I serve.

Let’s get started.

Schedule your complimentary 20 minute introductory session.

A short complimentary session with me allows you to initially assess my style, approach, and compatibility with your needs before committing to a longer course of therapy. We’ll meet and you can tell me a little bit about what is bringing you to look for a therapist and I can give you an idea of what support and help I can offer you.

*early morning and evening hours are available upon request Mondays and Tuesdays. Call (509) 632-3977 to schedule those times.

FAQ

  • Our initial consultation is for you to ask questions and get a sense of me as a therapist. During this time we can talk about what is bringing you to therapy and I will be able to let you know how I can help. Initial consultations run from 15-30 minutes and are free of charge.

  • I use Simple Practice for my telehealth platform. Once you set up a client account through Simple Practice. You will be able to click on your appointment in the portal for our sessions.

  • I accept credit cards for payment.  I will not charge your card until our session has been completed.  

    I am happy to provide a superbill for Out-Of-Network reimbursement upon request. Understand I do not know the benefits provided by each insurance provider regarding out-of-network reimbursement. 

    Starting February 1, 2025 I will begin taking BlueCross/BlueShield, Primera and LifeWise insurance.

  • Initial 20-minute consultation: FREE

    I have three basic appointment types.  Our first meeting is an initial 20-30 minute consultation.  This is for us to talk in basics about what is bringing you to therapy.  It gives you a chance to get a feel for me and for me to understand your needs so I can determine if my skills and methods match the initial needs you are bringing to therapy.  Most importantly its a chance for you to get a feel for me to know if I am a good fit for you!

    75-minute intake session: $175

    Once we've decided to start working together, we will begin with an initial intake session.  This session will be longer than a typical session we would have going forward to give us time to go over the initial intake paperwork you will have filled out and discuss more in-depth the issues you want to work on in therapy.  


    55-minute individual session: $150

    Typical sessions last 50-55 minutes.  These sessions are our regular therapy hour to work on your therapy goals. 

  • I believe therapy should be accessible to all people and because of that, I offer a sliding scale. 

    If you need to access this, let me know during our initial consultation and we can work out what is fair and workable so that you can access the support and care you need.

  • At this time I am only offering virtual appointments through the telehealth portal on Simple Practice.  I hope to add in-person appointments at some time in the future and will provide an update when they become available.
