Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in Idaho with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma, abuse, & bipolar disorder.
I received my first Bachelor of Arts in German Language and Literature from the University of Oregon. I have experienced many career changes, including 4 years of service in the Navy as a Machinist Mate (part of naval engineering). I made it to the rank of Petty Officer 3rd class. I received my second Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Idaho. I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I specialize in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, I integrate various therapeutic modalities when applicable. I have mainly worked with teens and adults with difficulties ranging from depression, anxiety, body image issues, life transitions, and suicidality. I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will help you overcome challenges. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical practice have shown it to be a viable option for addressing these issues.
One major benefit is flexibility – people can connect in the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if someone decides a different match would be better, it is generally possible to switch therapists. For many individuals, online therapy offers an accessible, effective path to support during stressful or transitional periods.
