I completed my studies in Marriage and Family Counseling at Northwest Nazarene University. I have worked as a resource specialist, teacher, and small claims mediator. I am a wife, mother and a
step mom. I have 4 children ages 24 to 39 and 2 bonus children ages 13 and 17. I am married to my best friend.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups to problem solve and uncover new areas of positive engagement. Sometimes people get stuck in what they are doing. We tend to do the same things looking for different results.
I enjoy working with people to help them clarify their goals and move forward with plans to help achieve what they are after.
I have a particular interest in helping people regain relationships. With couples it is incorporating the past and the future. Today's families are complicated; navigating step families, parent child, couple's and in-law relationships are not things they teach us in school. Knowledgeable support can be key.
My approach to counseling is through power of choice and a realistic look at strengths and options. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and with clarity more options are available to you. Through Brainspotting I can assist you in healing your own brain.

I completed my studies in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in trauma, loss and grief at Northwest Nazarene University. My undergraduate studies are in developmental and behavioral psychology. I am a lifelong learner and find so much passion in consistently growing as an individual, partner, and mother. When I am not in the counseling setting I can be found in nature riding my dirt bikes, paddleboarding, and camping with my amazing 3 kids.
While completing my graduate studies, I found myself being drawn to incorporating a mind, body and spirit approach in counseling which has become the foundation of my counseling practice. I love working with couples and individuals seeking to strengthen their relationships through attachment theories and growing through their past traumas. I firmly believe in meeting clients where they are and supporting their unique journey through a strength based approach.
