As a fellow human and counselor, I approach people with an open, genuine, and transparent posture, which hopefully helps others feel welcome to be themselves. My clients have described me as warm, gentle, inviting, and relatable. Whether you are new to counseling, are looking for support again, or previously had a difficult experience, we will go at a pace you feel comfortable.

I work with adults, adolescents, and their families—individually and as parts of a whole. I welcome individuals and families of all backgrounds and identities. As someone who aligns with narrative therapy, I understand that everyone’s unique experiences may have influenced how they interact with the world, and my hope is that together—we can help you create and support preferred ways of living. Additional therapy modalities I’ve received training in and utilized with clients are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing.

I earned a Master of Science with specializations in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Family & Marriage Counseling from South Dakota State University. Over the past five years, I’ve worked in both mental health and addiction settings—from outpatient weekly care to inpatient daily care. Throughout my experience as a counselor, I’ve come to love collaborating with my client’s system of providers and partners to ensure well-rounded care as we support you.

In my free time I love to get outside, hike, backpack, take photos, go to concerts and get way too excited about sports.
