As a Mental Health Counselor, I believe that life presents us challenges that we sometimes need help to overcome. My primary focus is working with people who want to feel more ok, whether it be moving through anxiety or depression, transitions, traumatic situations, or increasing healthy communication. The foundations of my approach to counseling are Existential Psychology and Jungian Analytical Psychology. I have extensive experience working in Native American and multicultural communities.

I'm a Licensed Marriage&Family Therapist, Children's Mental Health Specialist, Native American Special Population Consultant, Child Mental Health Specialist, Association of Play Therapy Supervisor, Credentialed in Attachment Therapy for children of Adoption and Foster care, with 16 years of clinical experience and supervise other therapists toward licensure.
I believe everyone has innate wisdom within themselves to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of them. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and families that have experienced trauma and consequently suffering from anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, sleep issues, developmental obstacles. Expressive therapies offers a unique way to language those issues using art, painting, clay work, journal writing, sand tray play and canine therapy, and they begin to externalize worries and concerns, crisis and trauma through symbols and mastery is gained. When families in pain begin to play together, perceptions of each other are changed, communication is accomplished and individuals experience their true potential.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in living healthy, fulfilling lives. I do this through helping clients identify goals they want to work toward, personal strengths on which they can build, skills they want to develop, and barriers they want to overcome. My work is client-centered and strengths-based, recognizing that change often takes time, hard work, and patience. Thus, I move with clients at their pace, knowing that recovery looks different for everyone and that there isn’t one approach to fit all clients. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space for clients so they can develop trust and evaluate their life.

If there is one constant in life, it's change; a new job or suddenly having to look for one , a new relationship or a heart break, a marriage, a divorce, life not working out the way you had hoped. Let me help you navigate these uncertain times, helping you to find a way through them or take a new tack or tap into hidden strengths. Sometimes we can change the situation; sometimes we must change ourselves, tearing down limiting beliefs and narratives to create new beliefs and narratives that honor our true self, our true values, and our goals.

I offer psychotherapy to people who feel drawn to explore and expand their self awareness and transform emotional confusion and suffering. I believe that it’s in relationship with others where we are harmed and it’s also in relationship with others where we can heal. The therapy relationship facilitates a healing conversation because it is a place of safety where you can begin to expand your ability to communicate, develop your capacity for self compassion, deepen your emotional understanding, and increase your self confidence.

I like to think of the journey to healing as a path back to one’s self. It’s incredibly easy to lose bits and pieces of ourselves when trying to recalibrate after traumatic experiences or just trying to function every day waking up to the current state of the world. Perhaps you’ve pushed your needs aside in this process, or just haven’t had the time or understanding of what those needs are. In therapy I offer a safe space to slow down and assist you in identifying your needs and learning how to tend to yourself. Common therapeutic goals can include trauma and emotional processing, confidence building, communication and self-care.

Living a human life is inherently difficult, especially when trying to learn to navigate it on your own. It is so important that individuals in our community feel connected to others that genuinely care about their wellbeing. That is where I come in. I work hard to make sure that each client of mine feels supported, heard, and accepted in the counseling room. When we are critical of ourselves, our experiences, and the path that we choose to heal, then we are doubling down on our pain and further creating an environment that feels suffocating. This is why compassion, empathy, and kindness are the cornerstones to my style of therapy.
