Feeling lost, alone, and unsure of your next steps? Do you feel like past experiences are holding you back or that low self-esteem keeps you from reaching your potential? I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood trauma and build confidence to live the life they deserve. Everything may seem uncertain now; you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s standing in your way and create a path toward growth.

I believe healing takes place in an environment where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and supported. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, with a focus on creating a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace and without judgment.

I specialize in supporting adults as they work through the lasting impact of past trauma, including early attachment wounds, parentification, and growing up with a parent who experienced mental health challenges. I also work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and personality-related concerns, helping them deepen their understanding of their emotions and develop practical tools to foster greater stability, clarity, and ease.

My goal is to support you in reconnecting with yourself, strengthening your relationships, and building a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

I believe that therapy can be an essential tool used to maintain a well-balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. As a therapist, I find it important to create a safe and friendly environment. I strive to always be in tune with what you need and assist you in exploring whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.

In my role as a therapist, I genuinely enjoy getting to know, deeply understanding, and helping others. I recognize that every person is unique, possessing inherent worth and pre-existing strengths, skills, and challenges, and facing genuinely difficult obstacles. Therefore, I meet each person with unconditional positive regard, and open, nonjudgmental curiosity.

I have worked successfully and collaboratively with a diverse range of adults of all ages (including senior citizens and adolescents), couples, and families. This includes those facing ambivalence at a pivotal juncture in life, as well as those struggling with persistent issues, such as depression or other mood disorders; anxiety disorders; ADHD, neurodivergence, and neurodevelopmental disorders; acute and complex trauma; schizophrenia spectrum disorders; addiction and codependency issues; grief and loss; and issues unique to adolescence, aging, women’s experiences, and gender diversity.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Gettysburg College and my Master's in Clinical Social Work at Rutgers University. In addition to my years in private practice, I have benefited from past experiences working in a high school setting, intensive outpatient settings, programs for those with co-occurring mental health and addiction needs, and programs serving those with co-occurring mental health and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.

All people are unique, and all behavior makes sense in its context when thoroughly explored and understood. I look forward to learning each person’s preferences and life experiences, and enjoy collaborating with them for positive change that significantly impacts their life and their future trajectory.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
