Inclusive, supportive therapy for anxiety, chronic stress and trauma.
Emerald Lake Counseling is a practice focused on therapy and EMDR for anxiety, chronic stress, depression, difficulties with self acceptance, and traumatic experiences. I celebrate and warmly welcome all people who are looking for support as they strengthen and heal relationships with themselves, loved ones, and community.
Compassionate, knowledgeable, and encouraging counseling makes a difference in reaching your emotional health goals. To help clients overcome "being stuck," I focus on research and evidence-based practices for growth.

After reflecting on a corporate career and important relationships in my life that felt one-sided, I started working with a therapist who taught me how to offer myself compassionate curiosity. This restored connection to myself changed my life in a lot of different ways, and it led me through in-depth graduate training, clinical supervision, and candidacy to become a licensed professional counselor.
Now, I enjoy working in a way that's deeply aligned with who I am; supporting others in overcoming difficult childhoods, struggles with mood, identity and personality, anxious or chronically stressful lives, and complex relational trauma.
I love learning and engaging with others dedicated to healing. I spend a lot of time reading and participating in workshops, lectures, and working one-on-one with my clients. I balance that with lots of comedy, enjoying festivals around the state, sharing new foods with friends and family, and climbing rock walls all over the Southwest.
