I moved to Boise in 1994 from Lander, Wyoming, where I was raised in the beautiful Wind River Mountains. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Boise State University in 2009, followed by a Master’s degree in Counseling in 2013. My journey in mental health started right after I graduated from BSU, and I used my background in education as a basis for further studies in Psychology. I started out as a supervisor at the Idaho Suicide and Crisis Hotline.There, I had the privilege of supporting volunteers as they navigated crisis calls-an experience that affirmed my passion for crisis work and supporting people in their most vulnerable moments.

Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both private practice and community settings, and 2022, I opened my practice. My therapeutic approach is grounded in science-based techniques such as EMDR, Adlerian Studies, and applied with compassion, skill, and insight gained through both education and lived experience. I focus on helping clients address core issues that those facing life’s most difficult challenges encounter.

I am deeply committed to serving the community and have a deep appreciation for its people and culture. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds, including those from diverse ethnicities, sexual orientations, and spiritual beliefs. Above all, I strive to create a space where every client feels respected, heard, and supported.
