Explore new heights.

My path, like those of most people, has not been wholly linear.

About me

Over fifteen years ago, I began my professional career studying the ancient Near East, archaeology, and religion. While working on my first Master’s degree, however, I had a chance to serve in an intentional community of adults living with severe and chronic mental illnesses in inner city Atlanta. After this first round in graduate school, I left the South to work as a wilderness therapy guide in Utah. I lived on “trail” with my clients for 24 hours a day for a week at a time. I witnessed tremendous growth and accomplishment from the clients with whom I worked and lived. The experience of guiding further cemented my conviction that we are embodied and social beings. Following four years working in wilderness therapy as a Guide, Staff Trainer, and Director of Operations, I returned to my non-profit roots in community mental health as a case manager. It was during this period of time that I decided to return to school and pursue my second Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to become a therapist. I have had the honor of practicing therapy in an outpatient setting ever since.

In addition to my role as a therapist, I am an organizational consultant and public speaker. I present at conferences, climbing gyms, and companies throughout the West to spread the messages about creating meaning, following passions, integrating identities, coping with loss, and fostering resilience.

When I am not in the office, I practice self-care through high-altitude ski mountaineering, climbing, and robust belly laughter with my family and friends.
