Nice to meet ya!
I’m so glad you’re here! Finding a therapist who is a good fit is probably the most important factor in making the progress you’re looking for in therapy. So this page should give you a good idea about who I am and my approach so you can decide if we’d click!
I specialize primarily in trauma and all its impacts including nervous system dysregulation, anxious or avoidant attachment styles, emotional flashbacks, dissociation, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I also have experience working with depression, LGBTQ+ individuals, ADHD, transitions of faith.
When not in the therapist’s chair I love riding powder (on a snowboard of course- you skiers are missing out!), hitting the local mountain bike trails, traveling to new places, trying a new craft, and trying my best to live a slow life.

Here are some things I’m really good at…
Targeting past patterns that keep showing up, even if you know where the originated
Shifting deep subconscious beliefs that you haven’t been able to reach with talk therapy alone
Addressing unhealthy relationships behaviors you can’t seem to get ahold of
Helping you feel at home in your body after years of feeling chronically anxious and exhausted
Treating dissociation, people-pleasing, and perfectionism at the source
Being a safe place for LGBTQ+ individuals and minorities
Addressing anxiety, grief, ADHD, or OCD that are layered on top of trauma
Helping you navigate different seasons in your life
Using EMDR, IFS, somatic tools, mindfulness, and a holistic, body-based view
And here are some things I don’t have as much training or expertise in…
Eating disorders
Severe mood disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Addiction
Psychosis
Active crisis
Couples and family therapy
Personality disorders
Perinatal care
Solution-Focused therapy, purely Cognitive and Behavioral approaches
I would describe my approach as…..
WARM BUT HONEST: I’ll level with you even if its not exactly what you want to hear because good therapy (and growth) aren’t always comfortable.
HOLISTIC: I work from a holistic perspective that recognizes that the body and the mind are deeply intertwined. This means we will look at movement, nutrition, sleep, current and past relationships, and especially the nervous system as part of your treatment.
PROGRESS FOCUSED & COLLABORATIVE: I try to hold a balance between talking about the day-to-day, and making time to focus on the deeper issues that are keeping you stuck. The last thing I want is for therapy to be an expensive venting session- let’s do the deeper work that helps you see real shifts!
PRESENT & ATTUNED: I make a point to take care of myself outside of work so I can show up regulated, aware, and able to attune to you and your needs. I watch the subtle body shifts and facial expressions of my clients so I can be present with them throughout the work. I want feedback from you so I can fine-tune the whole experience to you.
HUMAN & PERSONABLE: If you are looking for a ‘blank slate’ therapist, unfortunately that is not me! I let my humanness and personality show in sessions, because having a real connection with someone is really important throughout trauma work.
