I earned my Master of Social Work from Walla Walla University and my undergraduate degree from Colorado State University. Over the past eight years, I have worked in community-based organizations, enhancing my knowledge of local resources. A highlight of my experience includes facilitating men’s fly-fishing retreats for cancer patients, which deepened my respect for life and equipped me to support those with serious medical diagnoses. I am passionate about helping individuals, especially young adults aging out of foster care and those facing housing instability. I aim to build on individual strengths and promote self-determination, believing that everyone can heal and grow. My counseling practice emphasizes finding meaning and purpose, incorporating approaches like Existential Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In my free time, I recharge by spending time on the water, going on adventures, and journaling. Choosing the right counselor is essential for your personal growth and well-being. I invite you to connect with me for a complimentary consultation, where we can explore my counseling approach and how it may align with your life journey. This conversation will allow us to delve into your pursuits and challenges, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported in this important decision.
