Asking for help is a courageous first step

Issues I've helped people with: 

  • Feeling anxious​ ​
  • ​Societal pressures to be, do, and look certain ways
  • Trying to be the perfect employee, partner, mom, sister, daughter, and friend all at once​
  • Feeling disconnected
  • Working through relationship issues ​
  • Expectations from family or spouses, work and career choices, to have or not have children, the list goes on and on
  • ​Couples on the brink of separation or divorce


​Living with anxiety, depression, and stress can make daily life painful.  You'll get the support you need from me, to help you get past the barriers that make you feel stuck in your life.  

​I understand that your situation is unique and my approach to helping you will be a plan made specifically for you.  I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" answer to your problems. Together, we will focus on actionable ways we can improve your life and happiness.  ​I'll help you enrich your life and boost you up so that you create the changes that you have been wanting.
​
No pattern or behavior is too fixed. We will build a relationship and create a plan together to help you move forward.  I'll provide the tools and knowledge to help you change, grow, and heal.

Together we will get to the root of your challenges and make a plan to address them so that you can feel better and do better. ​

Maybe you are working on some new changes in your life and you just need support with integrating those changes? I'll provide a safe space for you to explore any concerns, questions, or challenges that you are faced with.

I've lived an interesting life so far.  I know life is not always easy, but I can help you get through it!   I am in this work because I love seeing human resilience and the positive changes that people can make in their lives! We only get one life so why not make it a happy one! 

​​My goal is to help you figure out how to feel better

About me
Credentials and Experience: 
​​I have a Bachelor of Science in Counseling and Human Services from Montana State University-Billings and a Masters in Social Work (MSW, Multi-generational Practice) from the University of Washington. I am a Washington State Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (Washington License #:LW60992526) and a Montana Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Montana License # BBH-LCSW-LIC-70336).

I chose to do online therapy so I could help people that otherwise would never go through with therapy or counseling due to lack of time or access.  With this community in mind I chose to set up my practice online to help people get the counseling and healing they need at their own convenience.

​I have over 25 years in the social work profession. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, public and child welfare offices, residential counseling programs for adolescents with emotional and behavioral disturbances, residential programs for children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, and in Hospice. 
Lived Experience:

My life experiences and influences have resulted in my empathic, kind, and funny personality. I have survived challenging situations just like every other human. I have made major life mistakes and learned from them. I have had moments of despair, struggle and sadness such as losing my mother after a long struggle with Lewy Body Dementia. 

​In surviving these moments (through lots of work, my own therapy, and self-reflection), I have learned to navigate many personal and professional challenges that have shown me how strong I can be, which is why I believe that most things are survivable.  Most challenges can be overcome, and with support, most people can get past what is holding them back.

It can be scary, and feel unsafe, and even seem impossible, but with the right support and the desire and willingness to open up and consider the possibility, we can all heal.

​I am known for seeking out new challenges and constantly trying to better myself, which has led me to becoming an online therapist. With kindness, compassion, honesty, and courage, I want to help you heal fearlessly!

I offer the free​ consultation to see if we are a good fit. There's no commitment, just think of it more as an informal conversation to get to know one another.  

During the consultation we  can discuss what your main challenges are and see what we can do about them. If we are a good fit, we can discuss a plan to move forward. If your situation calls for it, I won't hesitate to connect you with someone that would be a better resource for you. I will only accept your money if I feel that I can help you.
