Get Matched to the Right Counselor

Therapy is truly a unique process for each individual. It takes bravery to embark on a journey toward greater mental health. Humans are incredibly resilient, and I enjoy watching my clients experience life-changing transformations. I strive to build a safe and trusting environment where my clients feel supported throughout their healing journey. My goals include building rapport, providing emotional encouragement, offering psychoeducation, engaging in collaborative problem-solving, and utilizing new skills to foster positive long-term change. I desire to see my clients thrive in all areas of their lives and consider it an honor to be part of their healing journey!

My passion is to be a beacon of light to all clients. I have the ability to bring authenticity, compassion, trust, and openness to the therapy setting. I desire to get clients to a place of thriving in this life when it feels like they are unable to just survive. I prioritize making connections with each client to discover who they uniquely are. I feel a sense of purpose and joy when engaging with clients by being fully present. I look forward to building a safe and warm therapeutic relationship that is beneficial to each client's growth and personal journey.

As a dedicated mental health professional with a focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I am committed to helping clients identify and navigate their conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings. My approach is centered on fostering overall well-being and empowerment, guiding you toward reenergizing your life and achieving your mental health goals. With a unique background as a military combat veteran and law enforcement officer, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in high-stress professions. I recognize the complexities of experiences such as PTSD, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and various stressors that can impact personal and professional life. My lived experiences allow me to relate to clients on a profound level, fostering a safe and supportive environment for healing. In addition to addressing issues such as self-harm and depression, I am also equipped to support clients navigating faith-based and spiritual struggles. Together, we will explore therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs, helping you find the best path forward toward mental health and wellness. I invite you to embark on this journey with me, where your well-being is the priority, and together we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

I’m dedicated to providing a compassionate and comfortable counseling space where you’ll feel safe, understood, and empowered to find healing and transformation. My approach is flexible and holistic. I understand that healing looks different for everyone, so I strive to help each unique individual find the best way forward to achieve their goals! I specialize in working with women, teens, and preteens who are navigating anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, depression, phobias, and complex histories of trauma and abuse, including sexual trauma.

I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for about 7 years. I have worked with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders. I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result.  I understand that people have things that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to land—a place where you can show up exactly as you are and feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're navigating past trauma, current life stressors, relationship challenges, or anxiety, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care. I’m a Social Work Candidate with a Master of Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver and over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and I bring a deep respect for each person’s unique story and strengths. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and grounded in the belief that healing looks different for everyone. I draw from a range of therapeutic methods—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, recreational and art-based practices—and I am currently deepening my work in somatic and expressive therapies. Most importantly, I tailor each session to your individual needs, goals, and pace. It’s not always easy to reach out for support, but I truly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help you grow, I’d be honored to connect with you.

The hardest step is starting counseling. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship by creating a safe place for you to be. I want to foster a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for all my clients—a place where you want to come, learn, and grow. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you to help you get where you want to be, becoming a happy, healthy, and thriving individual. You are the expert of yourself, and I believe in being client-centered, allowing you to lead the therapeutic process. I believe real change occurs when you are ready for it. I am passionate about helping you reach your goals and the future you desire.

Hello and welcome! Navigating life transitions and interpersonal relationships can feel overwhelming and complex, especially for those with marginalized experiences. As a clinician, it is one of my priorities to provide therapeutic support that is culturally responsive and tailored to your individual life experiences, identities, and needs. My focus areas include working through intergenerational trauma, navigating complex family dynamics, and supporting those trying to break out of harmful cycles. I also enjoy helping clients through life changes or transitions, relationship conflicts, attachment issues, challenges with self-esteem, and anxiety and trauma disorders. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is collaborative and fosters a safe space for learning, unlearning, and healing. While starting this process can feel challenging, with the right therapist, it can be a journey that brings meaningful changes and fulfillment to your life. I'd be honored to walk that journey alongside you!

We all need support—someone to listen to us with an open and nonjudgmental mind, someone to help us reorganize our thoughts when we are confused, undecided, or overwhelmed, and someone to cheer us on when we struggle without pushing us faster than we are ready to go. My goal is to provide you with the comfort necessary for introspection and healing and to search with you for any tools that may enrich your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. As difficult as it is to take that first step into a counselor's office, I believe that seeking help when in need is the greatest act of love we can gift ourselves, as well as the clearest sign of strength and maturity. So, although the day we first meet will mark the beginning of our journey, it will not be the beginning of yours: you are already well on your way! I look forward to walking alongside you, wherever your path may lead.

Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health! It is important to me, as a therapist, that you feel comfortable in a therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard. No one knows more about your life and experiences than you do! We will be able to work collaboratively to help you take the next steps to reach your goals and feel heard in a safe place. Therapy is not a "one and done" experience, and my goal is to provide the necessary tools, resources, and skills to help you thrive based on your individual needs. I look forward to working with you through this healing process.
