Get Matched to the Right Counselor

I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

I utilize a combination of Trauma-informed, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Internal Family Systems, and Person-Centered techniques to help my clients meet their therapeutic goals.

Hi and welcome to your journey toward a better, more authentic you. I am a clinical mental health counselor who strives to support you in achieving your goals. I hope to walk this journey with you, providing a safe space for you to be vulnerable and discover your inner strength and beauty. I am passionate about helping adolescents with eating disorders. With my background working with this population and understanding the personal effects this illness can have, I aim to empower you on your road to recovery and instill the belief that recovery is not only possible but also worth it! I received my bachelor’s in Psychology and Biohealth Sciences from Oregon State University in 2017 and my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022 from Adams State University. I completed my practicum in crisis services and my internship in an intensive outpatient program for children and adolescents. I have experience in community mental health, including crisis services, addiction, school-based counseling, and outpatient behavioral health services, as well as in an intensive outpatient program for adolescents with eating disorders. In these various roles, I have worked with clients experiencing the effects of ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and behavioral disorders. The therapeutic approaches I use include Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My hope is to provide my clients with skills, identify their strengths, and eliminate barriers to assist them in moving toward healing and gaining autonomy. I was born in Oregon and raised in Montana. I moved to Colorado with my husband in 2019, where we are now raising our children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, watching professional sports, coaching soccer, reading, and playing with my children (both two-legged and four-legged).

Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion as a provider is caring for diverse populations, including children, LGBTQ+ individuals, preconception, peripartum, and postpartum women, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. I aim to make you feel as open and comfortable as possible and provide a non-judgmental environment where you feel heard. Together, we can create a treatment plan based on your goals and symptoms so you can return to living a life you love! I take careful consideration of your needs and desires regarding medications and try to find something that allows you to function adequately, has a manageable side effect profile, and targets your particular set of symptoms. Please note I do not prescribe daily benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam, Valium, etc.) or hypnotic sleep aids.

As a counselor, my goal is to aid you in reclaiming your inner strength and resilience, empowering you to heal from past wounds, overcome obstacles, and navigate the challenges that life may bring. I am here to guide and support you as you work through difficult emotions and experiences, helping you to uncover hidden strengths and develop new coping strategies. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can openly explore your emotions, identify patterns or behaviors that no longer serve you, and set meaningful goals for personal growth. Together, we will work to uncover a deeper, more meaningful sense of self—grounded in self-discovery, authenticity, and a greater understanding of your unique journey. Whether you are looking to process past trauma, strengthen relationships, or gain clarity about your direction in life, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I will assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness. In therapy, many issues are openly discussed, but sex and sexual issues can be uncomfortable topics for many clients. Yet, many people have sexual issues that need to be resolved in order for life to be as fulfilling as it can be. I am particularly passionate about working with women who are struggling with intimacy of any kind and are dedicated to improving this area of their lives. I also enjoy working with couples to assist them in determining the underlying issues causing strife in their relationships, rebuilding after infidelity, or increasing their ability to understand one another in order to help them design a marriage they can confidently pursue for a lifetime.

I am a compassionate counselor dedicated to supporting emotional well-being and fostering personal growth. With years of experience, I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, and life’s many challenges. I incorporate mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, and practical strategies to empower individuals in managing their emotions and building resilience. My approach focuses on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward healing, self-discovery, and lasting positive change. Whether you're seeking guidance through a difficult time or looking to improve your overall well-being, I am here to help.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Reaching out for help can be daunting, and I applaud you for taking this initial step toward living a more rewarding life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working closely with you to ensure that your treatment goals are always my priority. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of anxiety and have extensive experience with adults dealing with trauma exposure, such as victims of crime, domestic violence survivors, and combat veterans. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with parents to enhance the parent-child relationship and address issues related to child non-compliance, aggression, and school behaviors, as well as supporting adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, and work-life balance issues. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to change, and I would be honored to assist you as you strive for a more fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable life.

I am passionate about helping you live your best life. Maybe you're not even sure what that looks like yet, but you know something about the way you're living isn't right. 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. I live in Boulder County with my husband, three dogs, and one cat. I love photography, hiking, home projects, travel, and reading crime dramas! I volunteer with several local dog rescues. *Please note that the intake session you sign up for is the slot you will have available for all future sessions.

Have you been searching for a therapist who will take the time to truly understand your heart? Are you ready to learn more about yourself and discover new ways to think through beliefs that no longer serve you? As a therapist who has been "on the other side of the couch," I know what it can be like to find someone you feel connected with, who is also willing to walk through your journey with you. As a mind-body-based therapist, I primarily use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help clients better connect with themselves, which is a significant component of recovering from trauma. I also work with clients through a "parts" work lens that stems from Internal Family Systems (IFS). Both of these approaches allow clients to identify and connect with parts of themselves that they may have shut down from awareness while in survival mode. Additionally, I utilize other modalities, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused, Strength-Based, and Motivational Interviewing. I am equipped to compassionately support those who have survived and persisted through trauma, both childhood and adult, as well as those who struggle with anxiety, depression, life coaching needs, relationship issues, substance abuse, medical conditions, and life transitions. If you are looking for a therapist who is willing to help you discover the depths of your heart and not turn back in fear, I invite you to reach out and see if we're a good fit.
