I help individuals dealing with depression and anxiety feel empowered to find relief from emotional and relational struggles. It’s normal to feel trapped and alone, weighed down by self-criticism and doubt, and these feelings can impact your relationships, work, and overall well-being. In our sessions, I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can share openly and feel truly heard. We’ll work together to uncover the roots of your emotional triggers and conditioned thought patterns, using practical techniques that help you break free from these cycles. You’ll be guided to pause, reflect, and try new ways of thinking and behaving, creating room for growth and resilience.
With a background that includes growing up in Boise, serving as a veteran, and living in South America, Asia, and Africa, I bring diverse life experiences that shape my understanding and respect for different perspectives. I’ve been married, raised three children, and worked extensively with disadvantaged youth and families, which has deepened my sensitivity to diversity and strengthened my commitment to meeting people where they are. My approach is rooted in seeing each person as human first—with a fundamental need to feel seen, heard, and valued. Drawing from my Buddhist practice, silent meditation retreats, and time as a counselor at teen mindfulness camps, I integrate mindfulness into my clinical work to help clients train their minds and build a foundation for higher functioning and greater peace.
