Unlock Your Inner Strength & Connect With A Counselor

I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

Hello! I want my clients to feel empowered by their mental health journey to learn how to love themselves and those around them. I would be honored to walk alongside you! My approach to therapy is "Parts Work" (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), meaning that I believe we have various parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify these parts that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. We will step into a new awareness together and empower you to make the changes you desire. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in multiple mental health conditions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. One thing that sets me apart as a therapist is my honest and authentic nature. I truly care about every one of my clients and am committed to helping them grow and thrive. I am ready to join you in your self-discovery and healing journey!

I believe that with support, we can all achieve the growth we desire. I also believe that each of us is already equipped with the ability to heal, grow, and learn. Sometimes, we just need some support to find the answers within ourselves. Our journeys through pain, trauma, healing, and growth are unique to each of us, and I hope to meet you where you are and help you find ways to move toward your goals. The most important part of this task is building a collaborative relationship where we can work together to face your challenges with curiosity and strength. Asking for help is scary, but it is also brave.

As a professional clinician, I understand the significance of therapy and believe that together, we can navigate the path towards improvement. Your comfort is paramount, and we will proceed at a pace that suits you, working towards your desired goals for a better life. It would be my privilege to provide guidance and assistance, creating a customized plan tailored to your specific needs, marking the start of a new and prosperous chapter. I would be honored to have a conversation with you today, which will kickstart your healing journey. I have a specific interest in incorporating somatic approaches into therapeutic practices within the workplace. I am skilled in utilizing cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches to enhance treatment outcomes. My primary objective is to actively engage in deep listening and provide assistance in fostering meaningful connections and developing effective coping mechanisms.

I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to meet you where you are.

I deeply value the connections I make with my clients and believe that personal growth happens when you feel safe to explore your feelings, challenges, and aspirations. While not every therapist will be the right fit for everyone, my commitment is to walk alongside you and help you find the tools you need to move forward, whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

With a deep-rooted passion for human connection and well-being, I have dedicated my life to supporting individuals on their path to self-discovery and healing. I have had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, and I've come to understand that while each person's journey is unique, we all share the universal need for understanding and compassion. In our sessions, you'll find a judgment-free zone where every emotion, thought, and experience is welcomed. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that every individual carries within them the potential for growth and transformation. By integrating a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs, we'll collaboratively explore the intricacies of your inner world. Emphasizing the power of empathy, active listening, and genuine care, my goal is to empower you to reconnect with your authentic self, navigate life's challenges, and cultivate a life of meaning and purpose.

I believe trust and authenticity are what create a strong foundation in the therapeutic relationship. Everyone has a different perspective on the world. We all have hurts and experiences that make us feel like we need to do more or be more to feel worthy of a good life. No matter your hurts and experiences, I will meet you where you are with honesty and genuine curiosity about your worldview. I will walk with you through the hurdles of life. What therapy with me is like: I am an LGBTQ+ affirming clinician and use an integrative counseling approach, drawing from multiple modalities and theories. I most often draw from person-centered and reality therapy perspectives. I challenge my clients by offering multiple points of view while ensuring they feel they have the autonomy to take with them what works and leave the rest. I often assign homework between sessions so that growth can occur in and out of the therapy space. I welcome and encourage my clients to give me feedback about what is and isn’t working for them. While I have undergone extensive training to be an effective therapist, my clients are the experts of their own lives, and I strongly encourage them to use their instinctual sense of whether something is working or not. I also believe therapy is a great space to practice new ways of communicating and existing in the world—unsure how to have adaptive confrontation? I will support you in confronting me in sessions to practice a new skill. I work with my clients to feel their emotions and not just think about them. I incorporate artistic and somatic practices to improve one's ability to sit with, feel, and release emotions that weigh them down. Imperfection is required for a joyful life - KC Davis.

Hello, I will offer you my utmost respect and encouragement throughout the therapy process. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University - Billings. I have worked for several mental health agencies, including positions in elementary schools, high schools, and on a college campus. Additionally, I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and counseling at the university level. I have supervised graduate interns as they complete their hours toward licensing and have overseen an outpatient therapy department. Furthermore, I have served as a campus counselor, assisting college students with their personal growth and relationship issues. Having "hope" is one of the most important motivators to overcome life challenges. Finding "hope" can immediately change one's mood from despair to peace. I have significant experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, motivation, finding purpose, and life transitions. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, but we all need help to navigate this life. I will provide you with support, encouragement, an outside perspective, and space to explore productive options to steer your life in the right direction and, most importantly, find "hope." A whole stack of memories never equals one little hope.

While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves. I approach the therapeutic process as walking alongside you as we work toward the areas you feel are most important to you. I value warmth, genuineness, empathy, learning, and our relationship as the most essential components of therapy. From my experiences working with adults, I have witnessed the capabilities of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You deserve to live a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me by your side, I would be honored to support you.
