Life can present many challenges; difficult transitions, traumatic events, relationship issues, instability that can negatively impact one's mental, emotional, and physical health. During these times, you do not have to be alone and the help of another person is the missing piece of the puzzle.

My approach is centered around the unique needs of each individual. I believe that therapy is a tool to help optimize strengths and positive characteristics; therefore, together we will not pick, prod, or analyze. I utilize a blend of EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients develop the tools that they need to build confidence and self-awareness.

I specialize with: Eating Disorder Treatment, Therapy for College Students, Online Therapy, Asperger’s Syndrome/ASD, and EMDR Therapy.

I have additional training supporting client’s with eating disorders, anxiety, sports-related anxiety, body image, addiction, ASD (formally Asperger’s syndrome) and overwhelming life transitions.

For those seeking therapy for an eating disorder, I work in collaboration with a nutritionist, dietician, and physician’s assistant and can provide a full-continuum of support with my outpatient team. This can be an option for those transitioning out of a higher level of care or for those looking for more support.

My therapeutic style is warm and approachable. You will be welcomed into a non-judgmental space with respect and an open-mind.

I work with clients virtually in Colorado and Montana.
