Welcome to Nature + Nurture!

I look forward to coming alongside you as you move toward a life that feels more connected, purposeful, and grounded. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

I founded Nature + Nurture because I believe no one should have to navigate life's most vulnerable seasons alone. While my passion began with supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, and grief, my practice has grown to include adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions. These experiences often leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, and the life we want to live—but healing is possible.

My approach is trauma-informed, humanistic, and rooted in understanding the nervous system. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand their patterns, respond to themselves with greater compassion, and build lives that are aligned with their values rather than driven by fear or survival. I believe healing happens within the safety of a genuine therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create a space that is warm, collaborative, empowering, and—when the moment calls for it—even filled with laughter.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wright State University, along with additional training in trauma counseling, crisis intervention, and PTSD treatment. Before becoming a therapist, I pursued a career in the performing arts—an experience that continues to shape the creativity, authenticity, and curiosity I bring into the therapy room.

Outside of counseling, you'll usually find me embracing the beautiful chaos of raising two young children with my husband here in Helena, Montana. After meeting on a guest ranch in Augusta in 2016 and spending several years traveling around the country, we knew Montana was where we wanted to build our home and raise our family. I also serve as the Board President of Helena Village Collective, where I continue pursuing my passion for strengthening community and creating meaningful support for parents and families. When I'm not working, I enjoy making music, tending my garden during Montana's fleeting growing season, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with the people I love.
