Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.

In our lifetime, we find ourselves at many crossroads, and we can feel stuck or at a loss for direction. Whether you're trying to figure out if you're in the best relationship, which career path to take, how to manage difficult family or work relationships, or how to finally make that one big change you've been wanting to make, you're not alone. Life is challenging, the options can feel overwhelming, and it's easy to feel lost and lonely; we've all been there, many times. You don't have to wander and struggle alone; I'm here to guide and support you, and provide ideas, skills, and even scientific research to help you decide.

It's Okay to Ask for Help." I know the energy that goes into finding a therapist that is right for you.

Sometimes life is just hard. Therapy can help navigate challenges experienced in life by providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which feelings can be heard and validated and behavior patterns can be challenged to provide a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am a compassionate individual who values the opportunity to be a part of your journey to bring awareness, identify strengths, challenge old thoughts and behaviors and cultivate personal growth. I honor and respect each and every individual who finds the courage within to ask for help and look forward to supporting you on your journey to a better you.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents either in person or online. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, grief, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming and Colorado. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative brave space to move through held experiences and obstacles from the past that hinder the present. I specialize in working with clients to relieve symptoms from complex and simple trauma, anxiety, depression, issues related to relationships, transitions, grief and loss.

I believe in healing through therapeutic relationship. Establishing trust creates a safe container in which to experience change. I identify as an able-bodied, white woman and I continue to work on my education and awareness of how my privilege in these identities impacts others. My graduate work was at Naropa University, where I deeply connected with the Buddhist roots of my education. I welcome people from all religions and backgrounds.

Hey there, I’m excited to meet you!  I’m sure that sounds weird since you don’t know me aside from my picture, so...let me tell you a little about me.  I attended the University of Central Missouri and received a bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development.  While I was finishing my undergraduate degree, I doubled the workload and started the master’s program at the University of Wyoming where I studied Community Mental Health Counseling. My goal as a therapist is to be a sounding board, a reflection, and a holding vessel for you each time you step into my office where you will be encouraged to “do what you need to be okay."

Are you struggling with functioning in daily tasks? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, lost, alone, depressed, or constantly struggling with racing thoughts? Life can be difficult to navigate when you're constantly being bombarded with these negative thoughts. I understand the difficulty of dealing with these thoughts and feelings as well as addressing them. I am here for your needs and to support you in your path to a better overall mental well-being.

As Maya Angelou said- "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." You no longer have to bear the weight alone. I am here to offer you a safe place, to share, explore, grow, and heal. I offer several modalities to assist you along the way, based on your individual needs and goals. Some of these include; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and Crisis/Suicide intervention.

My particular areas of interest lay in coming alongside families and couples by providing marriage-enrichment and communication skills. And specifically working with concerns of anxiety, depression, anger management and communication struggles. I find joy in helping people identify behaviors that negatively affect their lives and relationships with others. I work to bring an awareness to the other voices and instincts in our lives that tug at our hearts and help foster an ability to communicate with constructive and compelling reasonableness. ​

I absolutely love helping others and I have a passion for supporting others where they are currently at. Everyone experiences difficulties in life at some point in time and all individuals deserve to be able to build a trusting relationship with another in which they can feel safe and secure and know that they can be heard in a confidential setting.

Anxiety and depression are signals from your mind and body that something in life needs your attention. They are messengers inviting you into a journey of growth and of healing your relationship with yourself. A lot of times we’re not even aware of the negative beliefs and perceptions we’re holding that are weighing us down, but they are reflected to us in our frequent moods, our thought patterns, our relationships, and especially where we feel stuck. This is also a journey of learning to shift from living in the mind to enjoying being in our body and making choices from a place of connection rather than from fear.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples. A sample of issues I am experienced in working with include but are not limited to: anxiety, relationships, self esteem, depression, eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma. I also work with pet loss. I am here to help others see their value, fulfill their authentic selves and live life as they see fit. I am also a DQCS for those in need of clinical supervision.

Have you ever felt hopeless, anxious, or worried? Have you tried to get help and found it did not work? Then I am the therapist for you! I have years of experience. I especially enjoy helping families resolve conflict by figuring out what leads to it and working together. I am capable to do so, sometimes in as few as a couple sessions. I love working with young children. I have successfully used EMDR for stress and anxiety about health procedures.

Everyone has struggles or hurdles presented in their lives that sometimes will require an objective opinion. I work collaboratively with people to look at issues from a different perspective. Reaching out to someone for the first time takes tremendous strength of character and courage. I am passionate about this work and it is an honor and pleasure to work with clients who are invested in making positive changes in their lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and private practitioner who has over 25 years of experience working with children, families, couples, and individuals in the Cheyenne area.

We are all human, therefore we all have problems from time to time. It’s in those times of trouble that we sometimes need help. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Cheyenne, WY. Getting to apply my skills with a variety of people and problems is really where I find purpose. Whether it's depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or another problem, I would be honored to help in your time of need.
