Therapists in Jackson, WY

Life can become challenging at times and individuals survive by searching for meaning and purpose in their lives. I work with Couples, individual adults, and adolescents. I believe that meaning in our lives come from 3 primary sources; Love for others and self, purposeful work and finally, courage when difficulties arise. I believe addiction, aggression, and depression is the by-product of the lack of understanding of the purpose in our lives.(licensed in Wyoming, California, Idaho)

We all want the best for our children and our families. I want to help you discover the tools and techniques you need to have the healthy, supportive, engaged relationships you desire.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and mental health therapist who has served the Jackson community for over ten years. Choosing to seek out therapy can be a step toward healing, health, and growth, and I'd love to partner with you in working through your struggles.

In addition to trauma work, I have supported clients over the years in exploring life transitions, anxiety and depression, self-esteem, self-awareness, relationship issues, grief and loss, emotional and behavioral issues, divorce, health issues, and larger life questions.

I believe that psychological treatment is a collaboration between the patient and therapist. Utilizing evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, and bipolar disorder.

I take a weight-inclusive, anti-diet, approach to body image and food concerns.

I like to go deep. And so do my clients. We're not here for bandaid fixes, but to understand and address the fundamental internal dynamics that keep us so often feeling like we're always struggling. I help you slow down enough to find an ever-present sense of okayness that then allows you to meet your emotions, thoughts, and impulses and allow them to resolve themselves effortlessly, in just a few minutes, rather than trying to constantly use tools to keep them at bay. Symptoms aren't just managed, they can be resolved. A sense of abiding peace can be known at any time, and an availability for real connection develops.

Life is both wonderful and complicated. Situations in life may become too much for us to handle. You don’t have to do it on your own. I partner with clients to work through these overwhelming times.

"The next suitable person you’re in light conversation with, you stop suddenly in the middle of the conversation and look at the person closely and say, “What’s wrong?” (...) He’ll say, “What do you mean?” You say, “Something’s wrong. I can tell. What is it?” He’ll look stunned and say, “How did you know?” He doesn’t realize something’s always wrong, with everybody. Often more than one thing. He doesn’t know everybody’s always going around all the time with something wrong and believing they’re exerting great willpower and control to keep other people, for whom they think nothing’s ever wrong, from seeing it." -David Foster Wallace

Nothing is better than feeling entirely accepted by another person who genuinely listens to your story without judgment. Your friends and family serve a vital role in your mental health, but everyone can benefit from an outside professional perspective.

Life gets complicated - an unexpected medical diagnosis, a loss, parenting concerns, work or school stress, anxiety, depression - it happens. When these moments show up, we can feel as though we are removed from the here and now and have been taken away from the things and people that matter the most to us. In essence, we can end up stuck in a rut, doing fewer or none of the things that bring us joy, enrichment, or meaning. Perhaps one of these moments has shown up and you are looking for help getting out of your rut. Would you like to feel more grounded and present? Would you like to be living the life you imagined?
