Hi! Therapy with me isn’t lackluster or directionless; I am intentional and passionate about this meaningful work. As a therapist, I am warm, relational, and weave in humor (as appropriate, of course). I incorporate elements of several theoretical orientations including but not limited to: attachment theory, neuroscience, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed approaches. I have specialized training in both Brainspotting Phase One and Phase Two, and EMDR: two leading therapeutic interventions that promote healing from traumatic experiences and resulting cognitive, emotional, and somatic symptoms. I also have training in integrated mental health and am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Our mental health is interconnected with other systems in our body, so I find it impactful to have a mind-body integrated approach to healing. I am intuitive and perceptive to the unique nature and experiences of each person and will use a holistic approach to tailor counseling sessions to your specific needs.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Eastern Oregon University in 2012 and Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Idaho State University in 2018. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Counseling Supervisor in the state of Idaho. I have over twelve years of combined professional experience within the mental health field including counseling, case management, peer support, school psychology, and community-based rehabilitation. I have volunteered for Idaho Counseling Association for eight years and have served on the Executive Committee as Secretary and Public Policy and Legislation committee member since 2021.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and women’s issues. Other common diagnoses I work with are depression (including perinatal/postpartum), OCD, ADHD, grief, and phobias. I aid my clients in managing stress and transitions relating to relationships, parenting, occupation, academics, systemic issues, and more. I have extensive experience and training in supporting clients who are navigating identity exploration and changes including: self-concept, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other developmental changes. I am committed to providing and advocating for culturally informed care.
