Meet the Therapist

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), and Certified Grief Therapist, and I've built my life and practice in a quiet, mountainous corner of the world. There's a deep sense of peace here, and I believe every person deserves to find that same kind of fulfilling, grounded place in their own life — whatever they’re carrying – whatever that looks like for them.
If you're struggling with issues such anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or substance use, please know you don't have to figure it out alone. I bring together different approaches — including CBT, IPT, and ACT — because I believe therapy should fit you, not the other way around. Together, we'll find the path forward that makes sense for your life and your story.
I love meeting with clients in person, where a lot of healing happens in the small, quiet moments of connection — but I also offer telehealth, because I want this to be accessible to you wherever you are. My biggest hope is that you leave our sessions feeling truly heard, understood, and never alone in what you're going through.
When I'm not in the office, I'm cherishing time with my family. I'm married with four children and eight grandchildren, who fill my life with joy and remind me every day what really matters. Outside of that, you'll find me tending my garden, cooking, or out simply enjoying the mountains. These quiet moments in nature remind me why I do this work, and why I believe so deeply that peace is something worth pursuing, together.
If reading this feels overwhelming, you’re in the right place.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor Candidate (ADDC), currently completing my ADHD certification. I work with individuals navigating ADHD, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, and people-pleasing patterns.
I believe healing begins with becoming more self-aware—understanding how attachment, relationships, past experiences, and the patterns we’ve developed shape who we are today. Together, we’ll build practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, healthier relationships, and greater confidence. For trauma work, I also incorporate Brainspotting to support the processing and healing of difficult experiences. My approach is collaborative, genuine, and sometimes lighthearted. I want you to feel truly seen, heard, and supported while discovering the strength and growth that can come through difficult seasons. My hope is to help you find the courage to fight for a better life and enjoy the journey along the way.
I’ve lived in the mountains with my family for 21 years and treasure the peace, beauty, and slower pace of life. I believe we all need space to slow down and reconnect in a fast-paced world. When I’m not with family, I enjoy spending time with God, reading, learning, and growing in my faith.
I grew up in our beautiful mountains and am thrilled to continue to serve our community as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Accredited Clinical Supervisor (ACS). Over the course of my career so far, I have worked in school-based health clinics, community resource centers, non-profit veteran and family services, and in the field of mental health crisis response. My work is driven by my passion to serve the underserved-- to reach the children, teens, and adults in rural areas with few resources; the veterans and active duty service members who answered the call of duty; the first responders who put their community first at all costs; and the survivors of trauma, abuse, crisis, and hardship who are still finding their way to a new normal. I honor humans from all backgrounds, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ and strive to provide culturally competent treatment to all.
My approach is flexible, holistic, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. This means that I tailor your treatment plan specifically to fit you: your goals, pacing, personality, and needs. I draw from a variety of methods and techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR); Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT); Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction; and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Additionally, I am a certified provider for Emergency Responders and Public Safety Workers and have four years of experience as a mental health crisis responder working alongside first responders in the field.
I aspire to be a compassionate, innovative, grounded source of support for you, contributing my clinical fervor, expertise, skills, and reflective capacity to the best cause of all—your healing and growth! I know the first step can be the hardest and I have the utmost respect for the strength and courage you have already shown in getting this far and seeking help. Please don't hesitate to reach out. You deserve support and I am here for you.
