I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and regain a sense of control in their lives. My journey into this work was driven by a deep desire to support those navigating trauma, stress, and life’s transitions. I believe healing happens through connection—both with ourselves and others—and that belief guides my approach. Providing compassionate, trauma-informed care isn’t just my work; it’s my calling. I’m here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your strength and move toward healing.

I became a therapist to walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges, fostering resilience and self-discovery along the way. My passion for mental health grew from personal experiences and a deep commitment to offering compassionate, client-centered care. Many people I work with struggle with overwhelm, self-doubt, or difficulty managing emotions and relationships. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can challenge limiting beliefs, gain new perspective, and grow in resilience.

Life overwhelms us all at times. As a counselor, I meet you in those difficult parts of life, accompany you on your unique journey to redemption, healing and wholeness, helping you secure meaningful and lasting change. Together we name your problems and find their solutions; both the issues and the solutions are unique to you. Often we are pressured to "profile" ourselves-to label or describe ourselves in an way so that allows others to quickly "peg" who we are. But we are much more complex-- each of us has a story to tell. Each narrative has a distinctive trajectory.

Growing up on a reservation, I witnessed the deep impact of generational trauma and the barriers to accessible mental health care. My own journey through healing inspired me to become a counselor—to offer others the kind of support and understanding I once needed. I work with children and adults age 5+ who are struggling with anxiety, grief, relational issues, cultural identity issues, stress, and more. I work with clients from all backgrounds but especially passionate about working with individuals from marginalized and underrepresented communities.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You don’t have to go it alone. I help adults navigate challenges such as relationship struggles (including divorce—see my support group info below), career stress, parenting concerns, chronic pain, and grief. I also specialize in supporting those who have been hurt by religion or are in the process of deconstruction and spiritual exploration. It is common to experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other symptoms in response to difficult circumstances – but with the right support, growth and healing are possible.

Welcome! Many of my clients are navigating a world that wasn’t built with them in mind, and therapy becomes a space to explore who they are without shame, stigma, or the pressure to conform. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being and discovering their full selves. I enjoy working with teens and adults, neurodivergent folks, and people exploring their relationship with food, movement, and body image- through a weight-neutral, fat liberation lens. I also support clients navigating major life transitions, substance abuse, feeling stuck, or trying to make sense of old patterns that no longer serve them.
