I love working with clients who are overthinkers, have a chronic history of depression or anxiety, or childhood trauma that is holding you back from enjoying right now or moving where you'd like to go in your life. I practice traditional talk therapy, with lots of curiosity, kindness, and slow steps towards goals. I don't hold back from telling you what you may need to hear, but Ill never judge you for your mistakes or for not being ready. I believe in change and love and recovery.
You are the expert in your own experience, I have a broad experience in counseling theories and biology. As a team, we can work together to help you move through whatever difficulties you might be experiencing. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and am comfortable and skilled helping you cope with trauma, suicidal thoughts, and family issues.
I have worked with and have lived expertise in the foster care system and adults with childhood abuse and trauma. I am a gender-affirming and lgbtqia-inclusive practitioner. I work with a tribal clinic part time and understand and work with intergenerational trauma regularly in my practice.

Many of the clients I work with are adults with childhood trauma that has lead to anxiety, depression, low self confidence, and identity issues. I also feel drawn to clients who tend to over think or be really cognitive in how they approach problems. Our work together will be very individualized, and you are always welcome to reach out if you aren't sure I work with the needs you have.

I love Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) because it helps us to be more flexible in thinking about the past, present, and future. Acceptance of what is, rather than what we wish is true, allows our brains to relax a bit and maybe stop fighting so much with our thoughts.
