She is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she works from Idaho while holding a Washington license.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for addiction, chronic pain, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress, and it often helps with mood, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and giving access to care across locations. Many people find that focused skill practice, value-driven goal setting, and emotional skills training translate well to remote sessions when paired with clear homework and review.
