I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of professional experience and more than 15 years in the helping field. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, relational, and human. I believe healing happens best in spaces that feel safe, authentic, and collaborative; not stiff or overly clinical. I use evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches. I often use visual tools, metaphors, and real-life examples to help make abstract concepts more understandable and practical. Therapy with me is active and engaged—we don’t just talk about change, we work toward it. My communication style is conversational and supportive, and I value honest dialogue. I aim to meet clients where they are without judgment, while also gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them. I do not believe in minimizing anyone’s pain or comparing suffering—your experience matters exactly as it is. What It’s Like to Work With Me Clients often describe me as: • Warm and approachable • Straightforward but compassionate • Relatable and real • Supportive but not passive • Engaged and collaborative If you’re looking for a therapist who feels human, not robotic—someone who balances professionalism with authenticity—we may be a great fit. That said, if you prefer a very formal, highly structured, or emotionally distant therapy style, I may not be the best match—and that’s okay. Therapy works best when the fit feels right. Who I Help I specialize in working with individuals navigating: • Trauma and complex trauma • Anxiety and depression • Grief and loss • Self-esteem and identity • Relationship challenges • Life transitions • Substance use and recovery • Emotional regulation and stress I also work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and want tools—not just talk. My Philosophy I believe healing is not about perfection—it’s about self-understanding, self-compassion, and growth. I value curiosity over judgment, progress over pressure, and connection over performance. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. You just need a willingness to show up.

My partner, Julie and I have also navigated through mental health challenges in our family, addictions, co-dependency, faith transitions, and a mixed-faith marriage, amongst life’s other challenges, giving us opportunities to learn, grow, and have increased compassion for others. I love outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, walking, boating, pickleball, l horseback riding, etc! In my teens I was fortunate enough to travel to Israel where I lived and worked on a kibbutz; Hawaii, where I worked in pineapple fields; I worked on a salmon rig in Alaska; studied Spanish in Mexico in college; and served a two-year mission for my church helping others. I was a high school teacher for 20 years, ran a ranch for troubled teen boys, then a girls ranch, and opened a bakery and deli with my family, along with 28 years of counseling and running addiction groups for last 12 years. Throughout all of this, I have had the honor of working with my clients, witnessing their journeys, and sharing tools to ultimately help them navigate life’s challenges. My extensive and diverse life experiences have taught me so much and given me greater empathy and insight for people and a broad range of challenges. Life is hard and we need connection and shared wisdom to find healing and peace. I’m grateful to those who have been there for me, and for the privilege to be there for others.
