I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington. I earned my Master of Social Work from Walla Walla University and have been practicing clinically since 2018. My experience includes school-based services, community mental health, tribal health, private practice, and work with individuals and families across different stages of life.
I work with children age 6 and older, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and patterns that may once have been helpful but are now creating challenges.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and attentive to how our experiences show up in our thoughts, bodies, nervous systems, and relationships. I believe our patterns often develop for good reasons, and therapy offers an opportunity to explore them with curiosity rather than judgment. I bring warmth, directness, collaboration, and humor when it fits.
Through Whispering Winds Therapy, I offer telehealth psychotherapy for clients physically located in Idaho or Washington, along with traditional outdoor psychotherapy and equine-assisted psychotherapy in Athol, Idaho. Working with horses is an option, not a requirement.
My goal is to help clients develop greater awareness, connection, capacity, and choice in their lives.
