Additional Information: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the intersection of chronic illness, medical trauma, and life-altering transitions. My practice is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy, with a focus on helping individuals move toward values-based living in the presence of grief, palliative care needs, and long-term treatment effects.
With a Master of Public Health (MPH), I bring a contextual, wide-angle view to behavioral health, integrating years of experience in oncology, health policy, and disease prevention. My work specifically addresses the unique stressors of carepartners, first responders, and athletes. Beyond individual therapy, I facilitate a monthly community grief group, Loss in the Outdoors, supporting those navigating trauma and loss within the outdoor pursuits of the Mountain West.
