I believe that people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken or failing. They come because something feels stuck, tangled, or harder than it should be to carry alone. If you’ve been thinking, “I should be able to handle this, but I can’t quite sort it out,” you’re not alone. My role is to help you slow things down, gain clarity, and move toward change in a way that feels steady, realistic, and grounded in your real life.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, addiction, anger, relationship strain, and patterns that seem to persist despite good insight and effort. I’ve practiced in a wide range of settings, including private practice, residential treatment, state systems, probation and parole, and child welfare. That breadth of experience helps me understand not only individual struggles, but also the systems, pressures, and histories that often shape them.
Outside the therapy room, I enjoy time with my family and being outdoors - hiking, biking, fishing, golfing, and making the most of Idaho’s seasons. Staying grounded and connected is something I value both personally and professionally.
