Nothing is more important in our lives than our relationships. Great relationships boost your immune system, open your heart, and keep you vital and creative.

We all have a story. Here’s a bit of mine.
I was born and raised in Montana, where I grew up riding horses, playing basketball, and driving before I had a license. I first became interested in psychology as a teen, after attending therapy during my parent’s divorce.
Through this experience, I developed a deep desire to make sense of human behavior and decided then and there that I wanted to become a therapist. Even from a young age, I knew that there is something truly special about being with someone as they wrestle with life’s big many challenges. What an honor!
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and bits of other approaches in my work. My mission in doing this is to help my clients voice their needs, longings, and vulnerable feelings, in order to be fully seen, to be authentic, to connect, and heal.
I aim to be a holder of hope, and a presence of compassion, grace, humor and understanding.
When not working, I am raising kids, doing house projects, napping, spending time in nature, writing or caring for my vast collection of plants.
