About Me

I am a licensed mental health professional trained in evidence-based practices to support children, families, and individuals through life’s challenges. My specialized training includes Child Parent Psychotherapy (ages 0–6), Parent Child Interaction Therapy (ages 2–7), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I am also trained in suicide prevention and intervention approaches including CAMS Care, ASSIST, and Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR).

​

​I care deeply about the people I work with and recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy. Because of that, I strive to give each person the very best of my skills and attention. I also bring a warm sense of humor to my work, helping clients find the fun in growing, even in the midst of challenges.

​

Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse settings—ranging from inpatient psychiatric care and college counseling to outpatient mental health clinics and community-based services for Native American populations. This variety has deepened my understanding of how to meet clients where they are, with compassion and culturally responsive care. I am thrilled to now be part of the Strong Self Mental Health team.
