Great to meet you!

With nearly 15 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a diverse background to my counseling practice. My journey began as a flight medic in the U.S. Air Force, where I provided emergency medical care in high-pressure situations. I later transitioned into clinical research, gaining a deep understanding of evidence-based practices before dedicating myself to counseling. Now, as a licensed therapist and doctoral student, I integrate my medical and research expertise with compassionate, client-centered care. When I'm not seeing clients, I'm usually out mountain biking or climbing!

My approach to therapy

My mission as your therapist is to collaborate with you in discovering your higher self. I practice from a Person-Centered lens that blends aspects of Gestalt Therapy, CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also trained in Natural Flow EMDR.

What you can expect from me

I will treat you like a human, not a science project. I pride myself on my laidback, casual style and in this approach I hope to show you that therapy is not as intimidating or mysterious as it may seem. I urge you to come exactly as you are, bringing your whole self. I appreciate you and I look forward to meeting you very soon.
