Whether you are seeking counseling for yourself, your child, or your teen, I believe everyone can benefit from having additional support in their healing journey. As a counselor, I see my role as someone who walks alongside you, offering a safe space to navigate life's challenges, explore your story, and move toward meaningful growth. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and gently challenged without shame or judgment. I believe healing is multifaceted, and that attending to our mental, emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual well-being can all be important parts of the process.
I work with children, teens, and adults, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I provide play-based therapy for children and individualized counseling for adolescents, with an emphasis on developing skills to regulate and process emotions, strengthening healthy relationships and attachments, and fostering resilience and a growing sense of self. I also value partnering with parents and caregivers, offering insight, encouragement, and practical tools to help you feel more confident in supporting your child's growth and well-being.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
I received my Master or Arts in Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor of Science in Equine Science from Montana State University. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State. My professional experience includes work in Community Mental Health for the last few years, serving children, teens, and adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I also have experience working and volunteering with all ages across a variety of settings including community, animal-assisted, nature-based, faith-based, and educational settings.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each person's unique story, values, and goals. For those who desire it, I also welcome the opportunity to incorporate faith into the counseling process.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Alaska, where I developed a strong love and appreciation for nature. In my free time I enjoy hiking, horseback riding, paddleboarding, Nordic skiing, reading, crafts, and coffee. I also love exploring new places and connecting with people wherever I go!
