My path to becoming a clinician has been shaped by diverse cultural and experiential influences. I spent much of my twenties living and working abroad in Asia and South America, teaching and immersing myself in different languages and communities. These experiences deepened my understanding of resilience, identity, and the ways environment and culture influence wellness.
I completed my clinical training in community mental health in Wyoming, working with individuals experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma. I am trained in EMDR and work with first responders and others exposed to high-stress environments. My approach integrates EMDR, ACT, DBT, CBT, and person-centered therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual?s values, strengths, and intrinsic motivation for change.
Outside of clinical work, I draw inspiration from recreation and enjoy kayaking, mountain biking, and trail running, practices that reinforce presence, adaptability, and growth.
Philosophy and Approach to Counseling:
Trauma can be healed- Restored to health or soundness, cure, to ease or relieve, to experience relief from emotional distress. Anxiety, distress, and trauma symptoms are a normal response to an abnormal event. They are the body’s way of communicating that something is wrong and needs care. Intervention can help restore thoughts, emotions, belief systems, and behavior to be restored in health. This healing can be possible with the understanding of trauma effects on the brain and synergistic connections to cognitive, physical, psychological, physiological, and spiritual (values) intervention and integration. Treatment phases include safety, symptom relief, exploring memory retrieval, facing the truth about the past, present and major issues of the present, relationships, reclaiming the body, and recreating a new normal.
Practice includes trauma-informed and trauma-responsive care, attachment-focused on the relationships and bonds
