In-Person in Laramie, WY 82070
I work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression or trauma. Choosing to seek help is a courageous act and we will work together to figure out how to change your unhealthy thoughts; temper destructive behaviors; and figure out more healthy ways to deal with intense emotional states. I strive to offer a safe and compassionate space so that you can find your own path towards healthier living. The type of therapy that I offer is dependent on your needs and your particular situation. Our focus in therapy is NOT to "just think more positive" but in embracing all the complexities of this wild and profound life to live more fully with purpose and vitality.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biofeedback / Neurofeedback Teaches people to control body or brain activity using real-time monitoring. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, ADHD, and migraines.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.

- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is always collaborative. You are in charge of your own healing journey. I provide a safe place for you to explore your inner most thoughts and emotions and discover how you might want to change.

I have dedicated my post-graduate education to learning more about neurobiology, anxiety and trauma's effects on the brain and behavior. The hallmark of mental health is learning to be more flexible and adaptive to life's ever changing conditions. We will clarify your values so as to set goals. We will utilize the tools of acceptance, cognitive diffusion and mindfulness so you can go from surviving your life to thriving. Most importantly, I believe in you learning how to best help yourself and living a more engaged and profound life. Over the past 9 years I have become certified to teach mindfulness in conjunction with other tools to manage anxiety and depression. I have spent 14 years of my professional time volunteering with military advocacy groups and military families. I am committed to help clients heal from life's injuries, stress and trauma.
