As a therapist, I strive to help my clients turn problems into strengths and become better versions of themselves. Although life’s many challenges can leave us feeling broken, overwhelmed, and hopeless, our minds are flexible and resilient. Patterns of unhelpful thinking can be broken. Painful feelings can be integrated and transformed. We all have the innate capacity to heal, grow, and change. My goal is to help people tap into their internal resources for healing, so they can live the life they want.

My journey to becoming a therapist began with leading outdoor adventures. As a wilderness guide, climbing instructor, snowboard coach, and camp director, I learned how to build effective relationships and solve challenging problems. Doing this work with teens in treatment inspired me to pursue a career in mental health. After several years of providing school and clinic-based therapy in the local community, I started Free Range Mental Health to connect my passion for helping people with the freedom and possibility of the great outdoors.

I customize therapy to meet the unique needs of individual clients, avoiding rigid diagnoses and canned approaches. Using a collaborative and client-centered approach, we will establish a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Together, we will explore your concerns with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment. Drawing on a range of evidence-based therapy models, I empower individuals to deepen their capacity for self-compassion, improve relationships with themselves and others, and become the person they were always meant to be.

When you are ready, I would be honored to serve as your guide on the journey to better mental health.
