Therapy is for everyone and I'm passionate about meeting people where they're at!  We're all human, and sometimes life requires vulnerability and digging deep into the hard and the heavy to find healing.  I believe it's ok to embrace the mess and chaos-I believe that's where magic and healing is found.

​

I use an eclectic framework and utilize various modalities (CBT, solution-focused, interpersonal, family systems, narrative therapy, brainspotting,  Rogerian, DBT, etc) in a relaxed, integrative, and flexible way.

​

I'm highly person-centered and my style could be described as warm, gentle, non-directive, & curious.  Therapy with me doesn't feel formal or stuffy; it feels like you're talking to a good friend (but with professional boundaries!) and feels real, connected, raw at times, validating, safe, and familiar.

​

I've been working in the mental health field since 2016!  I've worked in a variety of settings:  in a shelter with the unhoused, in a non-profit, with probation/court ordered clients, in inpatient substance use, and in outpatient community mental health facilities.  I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health in 2018.

​

In 2020 in the midst of the pandemic I switched to private practice to pursue my passion of
working with & empowering women through exploring topics such as identity, relationships,
self-esteem, boundaries, communication, parenthood, postpartum, family systems, and managing

and improving mental health and wellbeing.  I love seeing my clients gain a sense of empowerment

and confidence as they learn to shift with the ebb and flow of the tides of life!

In real life...​

 

I’m married to my partner of 15 years and a mom to three wild and beautiful children.  I adore my cats, dogs, and chickens, and enjoy listening to the hum of our backyard bee hives.  Nature, exploring, and mountains are my jam.  I live in Alaska and don't plan on ever leaving.  I  gave myself purple highlights over the summer and think self-expression in all forms is pretty rad.  I question 'how old is too old for a nose ring?' and tell myself the answer is 'never.'  I finally got over my needle phobia, and have plans for several more tattoos.

 

I proudly share that I live with multiple mental health diagnoses myself and think attending therapy is one of the absolute best life-decisions you can make (shout out to my therapist if you're reading this!).  I am an advocate for combatting stigma and shame through visibility and advocacy.

​

I want you to know that in so many instances, I've been there, too.  It can be life-changing to have someone who gets it, and can hold sacred space for your pain and struggle.  Whatever your unique circumstance, you don't have to face it alone.  You deserve support, you deserve healing, and you deserve hope.
