Great to meet you!

I have over 10 years experience working in the mental health field, including settings like community mental health and hospitals. I graduated from EWU with an MSW. I'm a licensed clinical social worker. I have been trained in CBT, Solution-focused, M.I., EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis and Mindfulness, as well as narrative therapy. I work with people experiencing life challenges, including anxiety/depression, loss, and those needing help to get "unstuck".

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approaching is client centered. I'm here to walk with you, and apply treatment modalities that may be most useful. I enjoy humor, and normalizing the human experience.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients often take away increased self insight and practical tools to increase their resiliency.
