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 challenges. What an honor!
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my sessions. My mission in doing this type of work is to help my clients develop self-trust, and trust in others, voice their needs, grow in compassion, to be seen, to be authentic, to connect, and to heal.
I aim to be a holder of hope, and a presence of compassion, grace, humor and understanding.
When not working, I am raising my kids, doing house projects, napping, spending time in nature, creating “art” or caring for my vast collection of plants.
