I founded Alpine Roots Counseling, so I could provide therapy in a meaningful and life changing way. After working in mental health for the last 14 years, my professional and personal experiences have taught me how people work, how people are wounded and more importantly how people heal and overcome challenges so they can live their lives in the most meaningful way. As your therapist, I will work with you to understand your experiences, not just label “the problem”. Together we will explore your story, the opportunities and create your path to moving forward.

We enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who mindfully explore value-driven goals. We welcome you to share your strengths and primary concerns and we develop a measurable solution-focused plan to effect maximized solid change speedily. We identify what can change and what needs acceptance and how to create both. We compassionately offer skills/techniques to reduce anxiety/stress, improve sleep, mood, communication, and resiliently function. We identify triggers, images, thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences that cause difficulties and process them to create an optimally healthy mind.

Welcome to my practice. I practice from a multicultural integrative approach in cognitive-behavioral therapy with a solution-focus to empower my clients to reach their goals from a wellness modality of mental, spiritual, and physical health. I am a trauma certified therapist who works to incorporate a variety of modalities to meet my clients where they are. I have experience in working with children and adults alike who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. I specialize in children and adolescents and am skilled in play therapy.

I'm so glad you're here! You're taking the first step towards the future you picture, and that takes courage. It's so easy to make excuses as to why today isn't the right day to prioritize yourself...your kids are in the middle of sports, work is too busy, the laundry and bills are piling up, the dog needs a walk and you need to go to the gym. The reality is that all of those things will be there whether or not you start therapy, but therapy will make them all easier to deal with.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing Individual, Couples, and Family Counseling in the Buffalo Wyoming area. I'm a private practitioner working with diverse populations and age groups experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, addiction, child and adolescent conduct disorders, grief, trauma, PTSD, and abuse.

Therapy is not one size fits all, so I work with clients to determine what approach works best for them to achieve their desired goals. My practice incorporates the use of: •Neuroscience and its relationship to trauma •EMDR •Narrative Therapy •Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) •Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) •Faith based Counseling.

All of us are learning to walk through life with more confidence, curiosity, and compassion every day. Therapy can provide support and resources to do this alongside a caring professional. From adjusting to life transitions and managing stress and anxiety to trauma work and executive dysfunction, I offer a collaborative and evidence-based approach to therapy where we work together to achieve your unique goals. My clinical expertise centralizes on ADHD/ASD, trauma, addiction, codependency, and OCD.
