Previous Experience

My undergraduate degree was an interdisciplinary of political science, justice administration and psychology. I’ve had the good fortune to work in a church counseling setting that offered clinical counseling. I’ve worked at five non-profit businesses; a city-funded family counseling center; two residential adolescent facilities; and a community mental health center. I’ve worked as an independent contractor for two local counseling practices, offering counseling services and evaluations. I have past experience in CDC centers, school-age programs, youth programs and adult programs.

I worked for five years as a Military & Family Counselor for two companies that fulfill Department of Defense contracts for counselors at military installations. I worked strictly with service members and their families on issues related to military life.

I started my own private practice, Breakthrough Counseling in 2015 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have been here since helping individuals, families and couples with counseling and therapy needs.

My Philosophy

Clients deserve competent and efficient counseling. They deserve someone who really does understand and engages them in deep reflective discussions with effective challenges that accomplishes changes.  Clients shouldn’t have to expend a lot of time telling their story and hope the counselor “gets it.”

I strive to be respectful, caring and encouraging. I am not here to judge or criticize, but rather to guide you through your needs and what changes you hope to accomplish. I follow guiding principles of my profession and try to work with you in the timeframe that fits your goals as well as your budget. 

Christian counseling

I am a seminary trained counselor who offers Christian Counseling. However, I work with clients who aren’t Christian and sometimes don’t believe in God or practice their faith if they do have one. I don’t proselyte – that’s not what the counseling room is for. Some choose to incorporate Christian Counseling into their counseling appointments while others do not. I respect your position either way.

Therapy isn't a scary place for crazy people... it's a safe place for people who want to be their very best self.
