About Me

While Wyoming is the place I call home, I’ve lived in various places across the United Stated and the World. I believe my transient lifestyle and exposure to diversity provided me with a unique lens on human behavior and mental distress. I do not operate from a Western or medical-model when it comes to “treatment,” and I feel that treatment outcomes are best when I meet people where they’re at.

I completed my Master’s in Social Work at Boston College where I specialized in working with the older adult population. Since then I’ve worked in different community-based programs that involved working with high-risk populations. I enjoyed community-based social work because it enabled me to truly meet people where they were at. I have since decided to work in private practice because I wanted to provide care to people in a way that was more aligned with my values.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with the people and creatures I love. I’m an avid outdoors-woman and enjoy hiking, climbing and trail running. I consider myself to be a life-long learner and spend a lot 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 years old. 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?
