- LPC
I am licensed in Idaho with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma, abuse, & bipolar disorder.
I received my first Bachelor of Arts in German Language and Literature from the University of Oregon. I have experienced many career changes, including 4 years of service in the Navy as a Machinist Mate (part of naval engineering). I made it to the rank of Petty Officer 3rd class. I received my second Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Idaho. I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I specialize in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, I integrate various therapeutic modalities when applicable. I have mainly worked with teens and adults with difficulties ranging from depression, anxiety, body image issues, life transitions, and suicidality. I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will help you overcome challenges. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
