The most common reason people become therapists is to help others. But aren’t there many professions that involve helping others? A nurse, a teacher, a firefighter—the list goes on! I decided to become a therapist as a career when I was a teen, wanting to create space for others because I didn’t feel I had space for myself.

I would love the opportunity to create space for you! I specialize in working with adults who have a history of eating disorders, anxiety, and neurodivergence.

I help adults with eating disorders find ways to improve their relationship with food, movement, and their bodies to feel safe and whole.

I help anxious adults find ways to stay in the present through mindfulness skills so they can create calm in their lives.

I affirm neurodivergent adults and assist them in navigating societal expectations so they can feel connected and have the skills to operate in their various systems.

I received my BA in Psychology at Northwest Nazarene University and an MA in Counseling Psychology at William James College, formerly the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. I’ve also been able to work in community-based services while working toward becoming a counselor to continue building my skills, and I have worked in Idaho as a counselor for about a decade.

I enjoy spending time with my spouse and three cats in my free time. I also spend a lot of time doing “grandma crafts” like knitting, needlepoint, and other crafts while I watch a good scary movie or play Stardew Valley on my Switch.
