I am passionate about holding space for healing and creating opportunities for sustainable change for individuals from all walks of life. I am a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience providing therapeutic support to children, teens, and adults. I celebrate the unique perspectives and worldviews that each of my clients and colleagues bring to our work together. I support my clients in identifying and utilizing their existing strengths to enhance resilience, confidence, and authenticity in their daily lives. My holistic approach to counseling incorporates evidence-based techniques and a warm, collaborative style to ensure that my clients feel empowered and engaged in their therapeutic journeys. Specializing in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and childhood emotional and behavioral health, I employ an integrative and personalized modality that meets each client where they are, providing supportive connections and genuine empathy to nurture growth and emotional wellness. I utilize an integrative approach and am trained in several evidence-based treatment modalities, including: ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ARC (Attachment, Regulation, Competency), SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy), CPP (Child Parent Psychotherapy), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Play Therapy.

I strongly admire all that social work represents, from relationship building and self-determination to skill strengthening and empowerment, as well as cultivating agency and self-advocacy among individuals and communities, and highlighting the importance of putting systems theory into practice. I apply this concept and consider the biological, psychological, and social-environmental influences on clients and the community. I also recognize and apply the framework of intersectionality as it relates to my clients. Emphasizing a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist lens while engaging in therapy. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado Mesa University in 2019. I then graduated from Colorado State University with a master's degree in social work in 2021. I am currently working towards obtaining my Doctorate in social work from Capella University. During my down time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. listening to podcasts, reading books, cooking delicious foods, shopping, and staying active

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background spans emergency department, primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and emotional well-being. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders. My practice focuses on providing evidence-based medication management paired with supportive, collaborative care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment plans to their unique needs, preferences, and goals. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and holistic. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized care, I’m here to help you take the next step in your mental health journey.

If you’re seeking change—whether it's breaking old patterns, managing overwhelming emotions, or creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling—you’re in the right place. I work with individuals motivated to grow and ready to move forward, even if they’re unsure where to start. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand and shift the patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping them stuck. In addition to CBT, I use an integrative approach that draws from various evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique needs. This allows us to address challenges not just cognitively, but also emotionally and holistically—supporting healing and growth on multiple levels. I meet each client where they are, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore what’s holding them back and what’s possible. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, develop tools for coping and healing, and uncover the direction and sense of purpose you’ve been searching for. My goal is to help you maximize your potential, gain insight, and move toward the wellness and wholeness you deserve.

Sometimes talking isn’t enough, and it can feel frustrating when traditional therapy doesn’t seem to be helping. That’s why I use approaches to work with both the mind and body, allowing you to move forward when you’re feeling stuck. I have extensive experience helping people heal from difficult life experiences and trauma. Whether you’re dealing with childhood wounds, relationship trauma, or painful experiences, I provide a safe space to work through these challenges. I use several effective modalities including EMDR and Gottman method for couples. I use techniques that help you connect with your body’s innate wisdom and understand the different parts of yourself. I believe everyone has the capacity for joy and connection, even if they feel distant right now. Together we’ll help you rediscover these parts of yourself.

I believe that with support, we can all achieve the growth we desire. I also believe that each of us is already equipped with the ability to heal, grow, and learn. Sometimes, we just need some support to find the answers within ourselves. Our journeys through pain, trauma, healing, and growth are unique to each of us, and I hope to meet you where you are and help you find ways to move toward your goals. The most important part of this task is building a collaborative relationship where we can work together to face your challenges with curiosity and strength. Asking for help is scary, but it is also brave.

Healing from the painful life experiences that impact us all is a process that should not be undertaken in isolation. I would be honored to journey alongside you as you navigate this difficult season of life. As a relational therapist, I believe that our stories begin and end in the community. We cannot understand your current life space without considering the family, society, and culture that have shaped your world. I am an emotionally focused, trained therapist who utilizes a systemic, attachment-based, and culturally conscious approach to therapy. I believe that therapy works best when everyone can be authentically themselves. That's why I strive to create a safe environment where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. I also value humor in therapy when appropriate because laughter can be another piece of that healing. I look forward to the work we will do together!

Let's figure that out and get you on track. I want to help you handle those hurdles so you can enjoy your life and relationships again. My primary clientele is young women ages 15 and up. A Colorado native, I double majored in Psychology and Acting at the University of Colorado in Boulder and obtained my Master's in Counseling from Adams State University.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to walk alongside you through the uncertainty, challenges, and messiness that life often brings, helping you navigate the twists and turns with clarity and resilience.

Whatever it is that you're carrying, we'll face it together with compassion, curiosity, and care, while working toward a sense of empowerment and healing.

I believe trust and authenticity are what create a strong foundation in the therapeutic relationship. Everyone has a different perspective on the world. We all have hurts and experiences that make us feel like we need to do more or be more to feel worthy of a good life. No matter your hurts and experiences, I will meet you where you are with honesty and genuine curiosity about your worldview. I will walk with you through the hurdles of life. What therapy with me is like: I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician and use an integrative counseling approach, drawing from multiple modalities and theories. I most often draw from person-centered and reality therapy perspectives. I challenge my clients by offering multiple points of view while ensuring they feel they have the autonomy to take with them what works and leave the rest. I welcome and encourage my clients to give me feedback about what is and isn’t working for them. While I have undergone extensive training to be an effective therapist, my clients are the experts of their own lives, and I strongly encourage them to use their instinctual sense of whether something is working or not. I also believe therapy is a great space to practice new ways of communicating and existing in the world—unsure how to have adaptive confrontation? I will support you in confronting me in sessions to practice a new skill. I work with my clients to feel their emotions and not just think about them. I incorporate artistic and somatic practices to improve one's ability to sit with, feel, and release emotions that weigh them down.
