Welcome ​​​​​to Peaks Therapy, where growth, healing, and vulnerability are embraced in a supportive and secure environment. With over a decade of experience, I am dedicated to offering compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based therapy. Much like the journey of climbing a mountain, the path to healing can be challenging, unpredictable, and at times steep. But every step forward brings you closer to your destination. As we work together, I will prioritize honoring your past, understanding your present, and supporting your future goals. My role is not to have all the answers, but to help you explore your strengths and challenges as you navigate your own path to healing. I obtained my Masters from Michigan State University. I have post graduate training in areas including but not limited to: Dementia & Caregiver Support, CAMS Suicide Prevention, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Perinatal Mood Disorders & Support, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.​​​

My Approach 

Through empathy and validation, I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where your experiences are acknowledged and respected. At the same time, personal growth often requires stepping outside of what feels familiar. With supportive challenge, I will encourage you to explore new perspectives, develop resilience, and take meaningful steps toward change—all at a pace that feels right for you. I also recognize the value of humor in the healing process. While we will address deep and sometimes difficult emotions, moments of laughter will be encouraged, as this can provide relief, strengthen connection, and remind us that joy and hardship can coexist.

Behind the Practice: A Sneak Peek

I’m more than just a therapist—I’m someone who truly understands how heavy life can feel at times. There are moments when the weight of emotions, responsibilities, or past experiences can become overwhelming. My own life experiences have deeply shaped my approach to therapy. I recognize that life doesn’t always follow a straight path, and it’s often the messy, unpredictable moments that offer the most valuable lessons. My goal is to support you in cultivating self-compassion and discovery, using practical strategies that encourage forward movement, no matter where you are in your journey.

​

When I’m not in the office, I love spending time outdoors, reading, swimming, spending time on our family farm, playing with our dog, and surrounding myself with family. Balancing my personal and professional roles is something I value. I believe that my personal experiences and the lessons I’ve learned from them enhance my ability to connect with clients and approach my work with empathy and authenticity. By nurturing my own well-being and staying connected to the things that ground me, I’m able to show up fully for my clients, providing the support and care they need as they navigate their own journeys of growth and healing.
