My communication style

I am friendly, warm, and direct. You will not be a blind participant in our process. We might even have fun together! I like to set a hopeful tone, and create a safe space for even the most intense feelings to be held. Therapy can be a roller-coaster, and I am adaptable and here for it.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spend my twenties on trail. I worked in Yellowstone, hiked the PCT, and guided primitive wilderness therapy trips. I found myself in awe of nature as well as the people I encountered and their stories. These experiences ultimately lead me to want to spend my career holding the kind of healing space for people that the wilderness showed me.

My goals for you

You and I will define your goals together and identify ways to measure progress. Using tools from EMDR, IFS, CBT, Mindfulness, Systems Theory and more we will use techniques as appropriate to make meaningful progress.

Our first session

A first session is often centered around getting to know each other and identifying your goals. I will answer any questions and concerns you may have. We will talk about your history, current life, and desired outcomes. I might implement some assessments if appropriate.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Agnostic
