My goal is to empower clients to tap into their inner resilience and cultivate a sense of wholeness.

Many of the individuals I work with struggle with managing daily life stressors. This may be due to experiencing a traumatic childhood, recovering from a recent traumatic event, or having trouble juggling the demands placed on them. Many people find themselves stuck or “going through the motions” and are looking for validation that they are not alone as well as help with finding hope and a purpose in their lives.

I have worked with adults, adolescents, elders and children. I am comfortable working with anyone, but especially people who have experienced trauma, are in crisis, are struggling with substance use, are LGBTQ+, are Indigenous, are Autistic, have ADHD, or have Borderline Personality Disorder to name a few. While we are each unique communities, I have found myself to be well atuned to the needs and goals of my Indigenous clients as I am indigenous myself and get to practice my culture. My clients' goals usually include an increased feeling of security/safety, community integration, & relationship or interpersonal effectiveness.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals and families on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. Therapy is a way to identify positive and negative patterns in your life, discover your strengths, learn new coping skills, and feel empowered to overcome hardships. Setting goals is important for achieving new milestones, helping identify what is important in your life, and creating an overall sense of direction for your future. I strive to provide a warm, safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for self-discovery to reach your goals.

In the last 27 years I have worked with clients who have sought to make changes in their lives. I have extensive experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues and grief and loss. My passion is helping individuals, families and couples find ways which support the desired growth and change they are seeking. I focus on individual, couple or family strengths brought into sessions as a building place for the onset of healing and change to take place. My collaborative and straightforward approach with clients has empowered them to take needed steps to achieve their goals.

You feel like it's all on your shoulders and you're constantly failing. You're used to making things happen, but inside you feel lonely, anxious, and like a shell of a person. You grew up in a family where there was some love but asking for help is still so hard... you feel like a burden. Even now, with all you've done, you people-please, overthink every decision, and feel like you're never enough. You desperately want peace and energy... to feel whole, confident, and full of vitality again. If you're ready to go deeper than talk therapy and make real changes to how you live, sleep, eat, and connect, I'm here to help.

I currently enjoy and have experience working with individuals of varying ages in providing services to address trauma with children, adolescents and adults as well as other stressors that may result in anxiety or other concerns. I am trained in evidenced based practices such as EMDR, CPT and TF-CBT and work with individuals to determine what is the best fit. My approach to therapy is to determine with clients and families what will be most helpful for the specific life circumstances and to meet them where they are in life.

When you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed it can be difficult to find the courage to seek therapeutic support. My hope is that through our sessions you will be able to find peace in the chaos of life. I believe our struggles teach us to center our attention around a part of us that needs to grow. I can help you create this change and manage the feelings that come with this rewarding work. In our sessions you can expect a casual comfort with me and hopefully some laughs as we make our way through this process together.

I believe therapy can benefit everyone, no matter their background or circumstances. My passion lies in supporting individuals as they work through the parts of life that no longer serve them and move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living. I hold a deep belief that every person is worthy of the life they desire—and it’s my privilege to help clients uncover what that looks like and take steps toward achieving it. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns—like part of you knows what needs to change, but something keeps getting in the way?
I’ve spent over 20 years helping people make sense of those patterns and gently shift them. I draw from both Clinical Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, which allows me to support both individuals and the systems they’re part of. My work is grounded in Adlerian therapy, which means I pay close attention to how your life experiences, relationships, and beliefs have shaped the way you move through the world—and how we can build something more aligned with who you want to be.

I find that we seek out therapy when what has worked is no longer working and we are feeling stuck, which calls us to understand ourselves differently and move towards change. While change can be uncertain, therapy can offer a deeper understanding of your authentic self and what you need. I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing life transitions such as academic and career change, family of origin transitions, family changes, grief and loss, interpersonal distress, trauma and relational concerns. I'm passionate about connecting with teens and adults of all backgrounds and identities.

My journey to being a therapist began working in residential mental health treatment. Then I began doing crisis work with youth and ARMHS work before moving into full-time therapy. My education has given me a well-rounded background that has been integral in my work as a therapist. Before obtaining my master’s degree in clinical counseling, my undergraduate education focused on criminal justice (victimology emphasis), psychology, and writing.
I have had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, stress, phase of life transitions, and many more challenges.
