About
I always work with a servant's heart to embrace the uniqueness of each person and the challenges they face. “It is not the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it is the pebble in your shoe."
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, mental illness, abuse, and behavior concerns. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to make meaningful change. I bring empathy, creativity, and collaboration into my sessions to meet each client where they are in their journey toward healing.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University. I use play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques to guide growth and healing while remaining flexible in my approach. I enjoy incorporating art, music, and open-ended dialogue to promote self-awareness, problem-solving, and emotional expression.
Healing is a courageous journey, and I believe the act of caring itself is heroic. I invite you to take that step with me as we explore the process together. Whether you’re seeking clarity, growth, or relief from life’s challenges, I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting your transformation with compassion and purpose.

Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing.

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
