About Me
While Wyoming is the place I call home, I’ve been fortunate to have lived in many places across the United States and the world. These experiences have shaped who I am and how I see human behavior and mental health. I don’t follow a strictly Western or medical approach to treatment. Instead, I believe the best results come from meeting people where they are.
During my travels as a young adult, I was struck by the similarities across cultures and groups. My curiosity about the factors that unite us, rather than separate us, led me to pursue a degree in social work. I completed my graduate studies in 2018 at Boston College School of Social Work. Since then I’ve worked in different community-based programs that involved working with high-risk populations. I now work exclusively in private practice.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with the people and creatures I love. I’m an avid outdoorswoman and enjoy hiking, climbing and trail running. As a life-long learner, I spend much of my free time growing in the areas that interest me.
Why the Jackalope?
Jackalopes are near and dear to my heart as a Wyoming native. My introduction to this mythical creature happened at a truck stop when I was 4. I was elated when I saw this fantastic beast in stuffed animal form and asked my dad what it was. Always the storyteller, he launched into a tale about the west and how cowboys came to know and fear the jackalope.
As an adult, I try to nurture my younger self by seeking opportunities that re-create the sense of wonder and magic I felt back then. The lore of the jackalope demonstrates how powerful storytelling is and emphasizes the importance of seeing things in a whimsical or magical light. Life is so hard - why not believe in magic?
