Quest Counseling & Wellness

Approach:

 

I use an integrative lens guided by Trauma Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), neurotherapy, and somatic work.

Therapy Style:

 

I enjoy working with adults and late adolescents who have experienced various forms of abuse, trauma, or life transition and identity issues. Some of my areas of expertise include crisis intervention, interpersonal violence/domestic violence, military families/ individuals, and LGBTQIA+ communities. My therapeutic approach is guided by compassion-based modalities, a person-centered approach, and an emphasis on trauma-informed care. I work with clients to promote self-curiosity, coping skills, boundary-setting, and interpersonal dynamics. My style is collaborative, strengths-based, and considerate of the social and cultural context of your experiences.

Education:

 

BA Sociology, Northern Arizona University
BA Social Work, Northern Arizona University
MSW, University of Central Florida

Why did you become a mental health professional?

​

I am honored to work with people who choose to prioritize their wellness and invest in their healing. Ultimately, I am inspired by the clients I work with and take great joy in witnessing people reclaim their lives and embrace their authenticity.​

What are your interests outside of work?

​

I find peace in the outdoors and spend my weekends packrafting, paragliding, and soaking in fresh air and sunshine. I love cooking, hot yoga, sourdough bread, and spending time with my partner and our dog.
