I am a predominantly psychodynamic therapist, which means I place a strong focus on how your past experiences shape the way you see and move through the world today. Exploring these patterns not only deepens understanding but also opens the door to meaningful change. While psychodynamic work is central to my practice, I also draw from a range of other therapeutic skills and approaches, so long as I believe it is helpful to you.
I believe therapy can hold both depth and lightness. I often welcome humor into sessions, as laughter can bring perspective, connection, and relief alongside serious exploration.
The clients who tend to benefit most from working with me are those who have a capacity for deep reflection and insight, and who are comfortable with a more unstructured, conversational style of therapy.
Beyond therapy: I live with my husband – who we all have to thank for making me a better person and therapist – our daughter, and sweet yellow lab Moose. I enjoy oil painting, hunting, and guiding big game hunts in Arizona and Mexico. And at the very bottom, center, and top of my heart is my God, who I prayerfully depend upon to empower me to do the work laid out before me. I hope to spread His goodness to each person I’m privileged to serve.
