Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
My journey into the counseling field was shaped by a lifelong curiosity about human behavior and a passion for helping others. I found myself drawn to the interpersonal connections that were at the heart of the work. I spent several years in research and academic settings, but I realized I wanted to engage more directly with people’s stories and support them through their challenges. This led me to pursue advanced training in clinical mental health counseling and supervision. The opportunity to witness clients’ resilience, growth, and courage continues to inspire me and keeps me grounded in this profession.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Clients often tell me that they appreciate my warm and direct style. I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a collaborative partnership, so I invite clients to share feedback and co‑create goals together. I balance compassion with gentle challenges, and I’m not afraid to bring humor into the room when it helps. I also value practicality—we’ll talk about insight, but we’ll also explore concrete strategies you can use between sessions. My hope is that you always feel heard, respected, and supported as we navigate your healing journey.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
At the heart of my own life and my therapeutic work is a belief in the inherent worth of every person and the healing power of connection. I practice mindfulness, gratitude, and self‑compassion in my daily life, and these principles inform the way I support clients in sessions. I see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, and I encourage clients to approach their own experiences with curiosity and kindness. By aligning my personal and professional philosophies, I aim to model the balance, authenticity, and resilience that I hope to foster in others.

Work HistoryI am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with more than a decade of experience helping people heal and grow. After earning my B.A. from Yale University and a M.A. from Stanford University, I continued my training at James Madison University where I completed both a master’s degree and a PhD in clinical mental health counseling and supervision.
Throughout my career I have worked with adults, adolescents, couples and families facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and relationship challenges. My work is grounded in the belief that every person has innate strengths and an ability to move toward wellness. I integrate evidence‑based approaches such as cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies with solution‑focused and relational techniques, and I incorporate mindfulness and wellness practices to support whole‑person healing.
In my current practice I partner with clients both in person and via secure telehealth platforms. I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients can explore their stories, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others. When I am not in session I enjoy spending time outdoors in the mountains around Ketchum, and I bring that same sense of grounded presence into my work with clients.
