With over 26 years experience working with adults, children, couples and families, I bring a variety of resources to help you grow through whatever challenges you are facing. My professional and life experience have prepared me to adjust to your individual style and I totally avoid the one-size-fits-all approach that most therapists use. I am so grateful to be a part of the growth process of so many wonderful clients. I would be honored to help you in whatever way I can.

Life can be overwhelming and leave you feel worn out. When things seem dark and heavy, there is help and hope available, you are not alone. I use a trauma informed lens which means we look at how adverse experiences impacted you and how they show up in the here and now. I work with you to create a compassionate supportive place to process and build inner resources. Reaching out is evidence of inner strength and courage. I am honored to work alongside my clients as they heal and move towards their goals.

My goal is to help you to look at your life from a new perspective and establish different personal responses that may lead to new and more effective solutions. I view my time with you as an opportunity to come alongside you. It is helpful for me to get to know how you think, how you react in times of stress, how your family history influences your life and how social interactions shape the way you view yourself and others. Clients who desire to change, set goals, and work to achieve them have an opportunity for a positive outcome.

Confused and discouraged by your own behavior, you ask, "Why do I keep doing things that hurt me and the ones I love?" You've been stuck in a cycle of engaging in your behavior, feeling guilty and ashamed, vowing to make it up by being "good," only to find yourself back in the behavior all over again. Or maybe you gave up being "good" a long time ago and have completely given up hope of changing. You've been coping with the secrets, guilt, and shame alone for too long, & you know you need something different. You want to stop behaving this way, show your loved ones that you're trustworthy, and enjoy life.

Life can be beautiful, but it can also be difficult, stressful, and overwhelming. It can feel easy to lose sight of the person you want to be and reaching out for help when you are struggling is an act of courage. I find counseling an invitation to listen and provide support to what is going on in your heart, your mind, and your world. Together, we can reconnect you with what matters most in your life and help you find direction, meaning, and insight. Whatever you are experiencing or wherever you are in your life, we will work together towards healing. GO TEAM!

For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

Wind Rivers Counseling: I love the psychotherapy work that I do. For the last twenty-seven years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and creativity of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" and thus pay keen attention to how a persons body, mind, and social systems play a role in creating challenges and solutions in life. I also believe psychotherapists are most successful when they demand the same changes in themselves that they encourage in those they provide therapy for.

My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, comfortable environment to build a trusting relationship with my client. I am flexible for each individual client. I value the ability to listen to a client without any predetermined goals of my own. The client goals for treatment are determined by the client or a collaboration between the counselor and client that is acceptable for each client. I hope to guide a client toward progress through personal exploration and encouragement. My personal faith tells me God is our only true healer. I love to include faith into the healing process when it is requested.

Life sometimes doesn't go as planned and some challenges can benefit from an experienced guide. I am a specialist in treating trauma and in working with couples. I seek to help develop the tools needed by each unique client using evidence-based approaches balanced with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. I try to meet each person where you are, discover the strengths within, and focus on helping you live a life based on what you value. I believe communication and boundaries are vital in all relationships and try to provide a supportive, encouraging, sometimes light-hearted, and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing for all.

I believe that the relationship you build with yourself is so important for building other strong, meaningful relationships. In our time together, I will be your biggest advocate and encourage you to be your most authentic self. Often the things we are wanting to ignore are the things causing us the most shame and discomfort. I believe in looking at those parts of yourself that you often want to neglect and build a new relationship with them. While difficult at times, we will approach these parts with grace and understanding.
