Life can be overwhelming and challenging at times, often leaving us lost or stuck as to how to move forward. My hope is to build a therapeutic relationship to understand your unique needs so that I can best support you in moving towards your desired goals. My job is to help you recognize the negative thinking patterns or behaviors that keep you stuck. Many of these challenges can cause the self-sabotaging behaviors leading to addiction or symptoms that interfere with reaching your goals. Addiction, trauma and shame often go hand in hand increasing the difficulty people have in navigating the challenges of life.

You’ve always been the go-to person—the one who handles it all and makes it look easy. Whether it’s at work, at home, or in relationships, that’s just who you are. But now, after becoming a parent and/or going through trauma, being that person leaves you exhausted and overwhelmed. You feel frustrated with yourself for not being able to get it together or wonder if something is wrong with you. You’re used to pushing through, no matter how hard things get. But now, it feels like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough. The truth is, you’ve been doing too much for too long, and it’s no longer serving you.

I work especially well with highly sensitive or neurodiverse adults experiencing anxiety, grief, burnout, attachment related trauma, and recovery from domestic violence or difficult relationships, by using a combination of art and talk therapy.
Art therapy is for anyone, regardless of age or experience. It can be as simple as a scribble check-in or as rich as healing through somatic, expressive, or symbolic creativity. It helps metabolize feelings, soothe nervous systems, integrate parts of yourself, express something too hard for words, build insight, support identity, honor memories, and more.

Seeing clients in MT, OR, and WA.
Think well of yourself for seeking support. Many of us are hurting right now. If you have experienced trauma, life is especially painful and difficult to navigate. You might feel unsafe in the world, unable to trust others, or sometimes don’t know how to trust yourself. You may feel shame, depression, or anger, or you may have terrible memories or images in your mind you just can’t escape. You may even freeze or have anxiety that feels out of control. It can be overwhelming and hard to know how to even start healing from trauma. There is hope for change, and therapy can help with this.

Are you someone who is ready to engage in therapy? I am! I want to work with someone who is introspective and ready to work to make changes in their life. We don't have to be similar and we don't have to have had the same experiences; it's ok if we are different because we will still be able to build a good relationship. I really enjoy creating a safe environment to help women get to know themselves by speaking up and sharing their story; being heard and seen. I like working with people who are struggling with the 'bullshit of life' and are in the process of trying to figure themselves out.

I want to share your moments, learn your perspective, sort the details, and walk through your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions are designed to facilitate healing through evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

You may find your emotions have deeper links. I offer a listening ear and empathetic understanding in a non-judgmental safe space.

Adults Therapists
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication.
Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
