As a mental health counselor as well as an art therapist, I appreciate the benefits of verbal therapy as well as art therapy, and I use both approaches in my work according to clients' interests, needs, goals and expressive styles. During times when it is difficult to verbally express emotional states, experiences, and thoughts, creative art expression can provide another outlet for communication, self-exploration and problem-solving, especially when paired with therapeutic guidance and support. I use an integrative, creative and person-centered approach with clients of all ages to find the most useful and meaningful way to help.

It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to reach out for help. I am honored to be a part of your journey.

Stepping into counseling with you is a privilege. As a licensed professional counselor, I find counseling to be an invitation to listen and empathize to what is going on in your heart, your head, and your world. When these don’t align, there is an incongruence that rattles our inner world. My desire is to assist adults, adolescents and children 6 and older, to find peace. I enjoy all ages because of my work with children & adults for 15 years. I served 10 years as a Children’s Pastor, and I continue to believe that every age is important. Therefore, I chose to pursue counseling to help every individual pursue healthy mental health.

Disclaimer: For Clients from Idaho, sessions will be ONLINE only. People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

My experience is that people learn, grow, and change in the context of accepting and caring relationship. The client-counselor relationship provides that opportunity. Since 2012 I have enjoyed working with individuals, parents, and groups. I try to bring a fresh perspective and a non-judgmental attitude to each session. My clients can expect empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity from me. They can also expect the knowledge and wisdom of a seasoned therapist. My private practice gives me the opportunity to serve clients in a way that I am not burned out. I also specialize in preventing professional burnout.
