Find Your Counselor

Hi! As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in helping clients identify, challenge, and restructure unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behavior. During our time together, we will focus on examining automatic thoughts, core beliefs, and cognitive distortions to develop more balanced and adaptive ways of thinking. We will work on a collaborative and structured approach, where you feel both supported and gently challenged. We will collaborate together to create a space where you feel you can safely question long-standing beliefs, strengthen cognitive flexibility, and build practical skills that promote lasting emotional and behavioral change.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is centered on meeting you where you are, without judgment or pressure, and creating a safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages and families can feel heard, understood, and respected. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who may be navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, family stress, or the impact of difficult past experiences. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, growth, and lasting change. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I draw from approaches such as CBT, EFT, IFS, trauma-focused interventions, and family systems work, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. I also understand that faith and spirituality can be an important part of the healing process. When desired by the client, I am comfortable incorporating Christian faith and spiritual values into therapy in a respectful and clinically appropriate way. My goal is to walk alongside you at a pace that feels manageable, helping you feel supported as you move toward greater stability, connection, and hope.

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for yourself or your child takes care, intention, and courage, and I’m honored you’re exploring what support could look like for you or your family. 

You may be someone who always seems to have it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you find yourself people-pleasing, second-guessing your decisions, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to shape your relationships and sense of self. Perhaps you're tired of anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck. If you're longing to feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to yourself and the people you care about—you don't have to navigate that journey alone.

Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you with curiosity and compassion. We'll identify your needs, deepen your self-awareness, and strengthen your ability to trust yourself and advocate for what matters to you. As healing unfolds, you'll build a more secure relationship with yourself, cultivate healthier and more fulfilling relationships with others, and move through everyday life with greater peace, resilience, and authenticity.

If your child is experiencing challenges at school and in relationships with impulse control, emotion regulation, school difficulties, attachment struggles, and social skills, then I'm the right fit. Through engaging activities and an attachment focus, I help children express themselves, build secure connections, and develop effective coping strategies to increase their success at school and at home.

As a graduate of Colorado State University-Pueblo in May 2025, I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in August 2025. I am also a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and a Social Work Candidate (SWC). With over 7 years of experience in human services, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, supporting families involved with the Department of Human Services as a life skills worker. Additionally, I spent a year providing clinical services as a therapist during my final year of school. Working in this field has allowed me to truly appreciate the significance of mental health stability, particularly during difficult life transitions. I understand that life’s obstacles can feel overwhelming at times, making the path forward seem daunting. It’s completely normal to feel as though you’re carrying a heavy burden, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

Healthy communication and exploring the next steps in your life can be empowering and essential for healing, whether you are dealing with depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, stress, trauma, maladaptive behaviors, or concerns about self-esteem. My aim is to collaborate with you, providing support and understanding as we work together. I am dedicated to helping you raise awareness around your feelings and experiences, equipping you with therapeutic tools to foster growth in the areas that matter most to you. I am passionate about using evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused brief therapy, to help you overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship with you. Together, we can embark on this journey toward healing and positive change, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.

Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been struggling with food and body image, OCD, difficult emotions, or experiences from the past. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and free to show up exactly as you are. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and trauma. My own personal experience with an eating disorder has given me a unique understanding of how painful and isolating these struggles can feel. Having been on the other side of that experience, I know that recovery is possible, and I bring that understanding into my work with compassion, hope, and without judgment. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I draw from CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Brainspotting. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools for navigating difficult moments, and work toward a life that feels more meaningful and connected. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Wherever you are in your journey, we can start there—together.
