If you are reading this because you want help and don't know what to do, I can relate. Life hits hard. You may feel angry, sad, lonely, confused, or perhaps even that you are broken beyond repair. I want you to know something very important - YOU MATTER. Your struggles are real. And, you can be happy, joyous, and free!
I have three years of experience in mental health treatment, along with my own struggle through addiction and recovery. I received my graduate counseling degree from Boise State University and my undergrad from Brigham Young University. I love seeing people rediscover their own worth, and I specialize in depression, anxiety, addiction, and young adult concerns.
Research shows that what most makes counseling useful is feeling connected with your counselor. If you feel like we could be a good fit, please reach out. :) If we don't click, let me know at any time - you deserve a counselor who fits you.
Regardless, know that many people who felt just like you do now have found their way to feeling better, and you can too.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
