During my life's journey and work in counseling I have walked through many areas and topics toward healing. With over 20 years of experience in counseling, 15 years of a more trauma and addiction approach, 2026 brings a transition to focus on anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma, addiction recovery, relationship issues and more. Services are being offered via Telehealth to adults and couples. I am licensed in Wyoming. However, due to the new Counseling Compact (2025), I am now offering Telehealth to people in states that are also members of the Compact.
Many theories and techniques are pulled from, to bring a custom approach for each individual. Christian/Biblical principles may also be included when requested.
It may be said that it has taken a lot of strength and courage to get to where you are today, more so than in taking steps to begin the healing process. There is fear in change of any kind, even when it is positive. That fear loses strength when one begins to lighten the load they have been carrying. I would be honored to walk beside you into this process.

The process will unfold gently. The first session will not be about you "ripping the bandage off." When you step into processing emotions and messed up messages, I will hold space, offer ideas and allow you time at the end of each session to ready you to return to your day.
