I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho who believes that meaningful therapy begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. After relocating from Missoula, Montana, to Coeur d’Alene, I’m proud to call North Idaho home and to continue serving individuals and couples in our community.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana in 2019 and my Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana in 2020. I bring more than five years of clinical experience supporting young adults and adults through trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use, and mental health concerns.
Substance use treatment continues to hold a special place in my heart. I spent seven years with Western Montana Mental Health, supporting women and families from across Montana as they navigated recovery, parenting, trauma, and significant life changes.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and person-centered. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—not to tell you who you should be or how you should live. Together, we can identify what is getting in the way of the life and relationships you want and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) and have completed multiple suicide prevention trainings. I also have experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches.
I work with young adults, adults, and couples, with a focus on trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, interpersonal relationships, couples and relationship therapy, substance use, life transitions, and emotional and mental health challenges.
Whether you are working through something from your past, struggling in a relationship, navigating recovery, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
I would be honored to meet you where you are, support you without judgment, and help you work toward the goals that matter most to you.
