Life can get hard, unpredictable and messy sometimes, especially over the last couple of years! Feeling lost and confused, is part of having a human experience. It's ok not to have all the answers right now, and it's even ok if you've stumbled and fallen. Nobody does this "life thing" perfectly. Maybe, you are considering changing some part of yourself or your life. Great for you!!! It takes a lot of courage to get to that place. Asking for guidance or help is a huge step and it's healthy!

My therapeutic approach emphasizes a focus on subconscious motives & creativity forms of expression. I am Depth Psychologist with a PhD in Community, Liberation, and Eco psychology and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. I do not believe in fixing people, but instead in helping them explore the reasons symptoms and behaviors are coming forward, then working toward building stronger coping skills and resiliency. Evidence for the efficacy of depth psychological approaches to psychotherapy is growing as studies show that depth psychology has a longer-lasting and more profound impact than cognitive or behavioral psychologies alone.

Many of us will go through times in our lives that feel like too much to navigate on our own - life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties. In those times, it can be useful to have someone to help explore how we learned to cope and encourage positive change, resilience, and healthy relationships. My primary goal is to provide space for you to be heard, seen, understood and know that you are not alone in your struggles (because we seldom are)! I have experience working with intimate relationships, intimate partner violence, life transitions, and parenting issues.

I graduated from Montana State University in 2010 and have a combined 6 years working with children and adults with mental health issues. My interests are working with adults and children that suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar, attachment issues. I also have an interest in working with families to help with healthy boundaries, increasing positive communication and setting appropriate goals to increase the health of the family.

My aim as your counselor is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard & validated. I help my clients identify their unique needs & seek to empower them with tools that work for them to address those needs. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from children to older adults, and have special experience working with older adults (60+), as well as experience as an advocate for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault, & stalking. I also offer sessions via video calls through a secure provider. I'm passionate about helping my clients tap into their own strengths & resources, and access greater wellness!
