As a child and family therapist, I help children find their voice to express what they are experiencing and support their caregivers to guide and protect them into adulthood.
Life rarely turns out how we think it will, so when a deeply distressing or disturbing experience occurs, we often struggle to find our next steps. Hope and purpose can become a distant reality. Sometimes, the traumatic event occurs to just one person, but often times, these experiences happen within the context of the family and everyone is impacted. Despite our best efforts to continue on our own, we may need the assistance of another person. At Mountain Valley Counseling, I use an integrated blend of evidence-based techniques as well as a warm, authentic approach to provide hope-filled healing and professional guidance.

When life is hard for one of our children, it becomes hard for the whole family.
Raising kids can be hard, especially when the only constant is change: changing bodies; changing brains; changing friends and family situations. As a parent or caregiver, it can be challenging to keep up, and to know what to do when it’s not going well. If your child or teen is struggling to navigate these changes, you are not alone. If they are battling anxiety or depression, or stuck with behaviors that aren’t serving them. Or if they have experienced trauma, loss, or divorce, I would love to work with you to design the best plan to help your child successfully navigate their challenges, and to feel better.

It was my own dramatic ups and downs in a 22-year marriage and the adoption of two children with traumatic histories that fueled my desire to pursue counseling full time.

I believe therapy should be practical, personal and respectful toward the true bravery it takes for someone to seek help and aspire to change. I also apply creative exercises and experiential work to help build trust and solidify self- discovery for the children, teens and adults I work with. It is an honor and my passion to join individuals and families in their journey to cultivate a courageous heart, build life skills, and rediscover hope!
