What is therapy like with me? I strongly believe in a person’s inherent strengths and expertise in the healing process. I also believe in the importance of human relationship and see that as an integral part of the healing process. I provide trauma-informed care, knowing that most presenting concerns are related to a traumatic interactions in the past or present. I use a variety of evidence based practice to guide a person to a place where they can thrive. These modalities are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative and ACT among others.
I have always been interested in understanding people and how they interact and function. Early on in life, I was introduced to the foster adopt system by a friend and met families who struggled to care for their children, and children too troubled by trauma to function well. I discovered that there was little understanding about attachment and how to treat the families and help them all heal. I wanted to understand this phenomenon better, I decided to pursue my degree and become a therapist. What I learned over time was that most intrapersonal pain (depression, anxiety, stress etc.) is caused by disrupted attachments. My clients, often present with some form of insecure attachment and elements of trauma related to their attachment figures. I have taken this passion to help others and work both with clients as well as teaching as a college professor on several mental health topics.
I live in a small rural community with my husband, three dogs and 10 sheep. We are in the process of homesteading and building a small lavender farm. We love everything outdoors and spend out winters cross country skiing and the summers fishing and hiking the mountain ranges exploring alpine lakes.
