Education & Experience

In 2006 I graduated from Boise State University with an undergraduate degree in Social Work. After graduation, I spent several years with the Women's and Children's Alliance, a wrap-around agency that provides services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Boise, Idaho. At that agency I was a hotline respondent, crisis advocate, case manager, court advocate, and, for the last 6 years, the shelter manager. Eventually, I returned to BSU and finished a graduate degree in Social Work in 2012. Since graduation, I've worked as a therapist at two agencies, and then transferred to a clinic where I provided therapy and other social work support to people who were resettled in Boise as refugees from all over the world. In 2016 I opened a private practice and turned my focus solely to ongoing psychotherapy. Currently I'm excited about the field of applied psychophysiology, and using biofeedback to enhance our natural resilience and support recovery from stress and trauma. These tools interweave beautifully with the therapy process, and I'd love to talk to you about them if you're interested!
