I believe one of the biggest challenges we face when navigating uncertain, difficult, or trying periods of life is finding the courage to reach out and ask for help. One of the most important aspects of effective therapy is the relationship with your counselor. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive, judgment-free space. I will meet you where you are, partner with you, and walk alongside you to achieve your goals. I am here to help you find hope and strength again. I look forward to working with you. I enjoy helping others navigate the challenges life brings, such as relationship issues, separation, parenthood, life transitions, sexuality, stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe all individuals have innate, unique strengths. I aim to partner with you to discover those strengths and help you thrive.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy—where compassion, honesty, and shared human experience meet. Each session is an opportunity to honor my clients’ stories and walk alongside them in their growth. My work is strengths-based, helping clients reframe their narratives and recognize their resilience. Drawing mainly from person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and reality therapy, I offer new perspectives, gentle challenges, and practical homework to support growth both inside and outside the session. I encourage open feedback and strive to create a safe, collaborative space where self-discovery and healing can unfold.

One of the most profound forms of self-love is the decision we make that we are worthy of being fully heard and seen. While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves. I approach the therapeutic process as walking alongside you, as we work towards the areas you feel are most important to you. I value warmth, genuineness, empathy, learning, and our relationship as the most essential components of therapy. From my experiences working with individuals, couples, and families, I have witnessed the magic of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You are deserving of living a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me on your side, I would be honored to support you.

As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and opening up to work on your goals. I will strive to name and provide the words that empower you to speak about your experiences and help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to sharing the weight and helping you feel more confident and in control moving forward. Therapy is about you, and you are the expert on yourself; I am a guide to help you explore in a validating and supportive space. I utilize person-centered therapy, which focuses on unconditional positive regard. As humans, we make mistakes, and I am here to help you recognize what other factors contributed to your behavior to enable the change you desire. When I am not providing therapy, you can catch me out hiking, going to cultural events, and learning to play the ukulele. I am originally from Alaska but fell in love with the Colorado sunshine and am content to see the mountains a little bit further away. I’m a happy plant mom of 20, and yes, they are all flourishing.
