As a client-centered therapist, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental approach in which you can feel safe to begin the healing journey. I firmly believe in building on my client's strengths and skills. My training and experience have included working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and codependency/relationship issues.
I tailor counseling to meet the needs of my client drawing from multiple healing approaches. I have advanced training and certification in Brainspotting and Grief Counseling.

I am passionate about the art and science of healing mentally and emotionally. Becoming a licensed professional broadened my training, skills, and experience to support others in their healing process. I wake up each day loving my job!
I enjoy being out in nature, hiking, mountain biking, riding horses, yoga, belly dancing, enjoying music, concerts, cooking, traveling, baking, reading, meditating, and spending time with my family, friends, and my animal companions
Meditation.
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, The Power of Now, The New Earth, and more! I enjoy a deep dive into the science of the brain, neuroplasticity, and learning how to be present to empower lasting, meaningful changes in my life and the lives of others.
Local non-profit organizations that provide care and support to animals in need.
Meditating, yoga, being out in nature, cooking, laughing, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying time with my animal companions.
Yes, currently horses and cats, in the recent past I have also had dogs and cockatiels. Favorite pet story…so many to choose from! I went to a local no-kill cat sanctuary just to "look around" and came home with three (!) "unadoptable" senior cats that had been in the sanctuary their whole life. They had not been handled much and were quite feral. They are now loving lap cats who enjoy days filled with lots of love and attention in their forever home.
