I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.

Healing only happens when you are truly seen

I help women and men experiencing midlife chaos achieve clear, focused control over their lives. We investigate the intersection of your hormones and your neurobiology. We move from being dismissed to being deeply seen and validated. I also specialize in PMDD and perinatal mental health.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience, I believe healing starts with feeling safe, heard, and understood. My own life experiences, combined with my clinical training, have shaped the compassionate, whole-person approach I bring to every client. I provide evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns while working collaboratively to help you reach your goals.

Are you carrying the weight of past trauma and hoping for meaningful change? I help children age six and older, teens, and adults move through trauma, life challenges, and personal growth. Together, we focus on your goals, uncover your strengths, and find a path toward greater well-being. I believe you deserve support that feels personal, compassionate, and encouraging.

Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or major life changes can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, working through past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I work with adults and young adults to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, strengthen self-esteem, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you identify both the challenges you face and the strengths you already possess.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan for growth that is realistic, empowering, and grounded in your values and goals. My goal is to help you develop practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.
