Get to Know Our Therapists

It takes a lot to make the decision to seek therapy, and I’m so glad that you’re doing it! Life is complicated and so are we. In my work, I meet people when they are feeling confused, hurt, angry, and/or overwhelmed by life’s complications. I love my work because I get to be a source of support, patience, and encouragement for people in these moments. I believe that building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of achieving clinical success. Whether you are an adult or teen (ages 16+) seeking counseling services for concerns related to trauma, depression, and/or anxiety, I am ready to help.

For over a decade, I have worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to urban American Indian/Alaska Natives and LGBTQ+ individuals. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) approaches in an individual and family counseling setting with my clients.

I consider my clinical approach to be empathic and personable, while also being pragmatic. My hope is that everyone I work with feels valued, heard, and ultimately empowered to live their life with purpose and happiness. If you would like support in facing some of the challenges in your life, then I am here to listen and help guide you on your journey.
