I've worked with a wide range of age groups, ages 8 and up, from different paths of life and backgrounds. I'm experienced in working through clients' trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, and grief. I enjoy helping clients to overcome challenges and meet their goals at their time and pace. I'm a culturally competent and trauma-informed clinician who is able to provide mindful and conscious practice for the client's needs.

Engaging in therapy is a wonderful decision that can help you navigate and heal from the many things that life throws your way. This can bring up challenges and even opportunities, but having a trustful ear is something I hope to be for you. The relationship building stage of therapy is important to me, as I aspire to tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs and find what best fits your personality, history, culture, and lifestyle.

It's no secret that life is full of obstacles and hardships, notably so with all of the changes we have experienced in our lives these last few years. I am proud to offer individual, couples, and family talk-therapy; with both in-person and virtual appointments available for residents of WA and MT. My mission is to connect with clients in a way that highlights their strengths whilst respecting the dignity and worth of the person. I believe in the autonomy of all individuals to make their own decisions, striving toward the client-centered model. Let's find our common ground, set your goals, and work to grow in a positive direction.

Healing is a journey. For some, "healing" means reversing years of trauma, and for others it means 'getting out of my own head' or 'getting un-stuck.' For everyone, the path to healing is a difficult one, and it is lighter, easier, more meaningful when others join in with you. To you who have tried to go it alone, I invite you to reach out. Connecting with a counselor is a way to get un-stuck in your journey towards health, to bring healing to those deeper places of hurt.

I’ve counseled people in some form or fashion for most of my life. When I was younger, friends came to me with their problems and left our conversation feeling better. Seeing the change in them was moving and made me realize I wanted to do this professionally. However, my journey to becoming a therapist was an unusual one. I was a monk for more than a decade and worked abroad. During that time, I gained a deeper understanding of the human experience and struggle. It shaped me as a therapist and has since helped me identify people’s deeper issues as well as give concrete and practical advice.

Pause. Breathe in... Exhale... How are you? You may feel overwhelmed or anxious when you slow down. Or, maybe things feel a bit out of control right now; your relationships seem off, you feel alone, lost, or stuck. Perhaps, you have a lot of deep thoughts and big feelings and are not sure how to process everything. If any of these statements resonate, you deserve a safe space to feel seen and heard and to explore and process your experiences.

Are you struggling to get through the day? Feeling disconnected from yourself and your life? Has your mind gotten the best of you, causing you to engage in repetitive negative self-talk? There is a way out. With compassion and clarity, I will help you navigate your way to a life of inner peace and joy. Once you have achieved clarity of mind and eliminated self-defeating thought patterns, creating the life you truly want becomes attainable. Deep down you know what you really want and until you are connected with that desire, you will always have a nagging feeling that something is missing. It's time that you find you.

Are you unsure about the future of a relationship? Do you feel inadequate, overwhelmed, alone and tired of power struggles? Are you conflicted by advice from family, friends or even other professionals? Are you anxious, extremely sensitive, or intensely critical of self and/or others? Do you become paralyzed from taking action for fear of not meeting self-imposed objectives? Do you feel that you are just existing and not living? I have traveled a very similar path and I understand what you face daily. I can help you learn research-based tools to keep your communications healthy and your relationships strong.

As a therapist, I have worked with folks struggling with life transitions, mood disorders, complex trauma/PTSD, and family of origin issues. I have a passion for working with clients healing from intergenerational trauma and wanting to catch their body up with their mind; teaching the body that it is now safe in the present and no longer needs to live in survival mode.
