I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anger and emotional regulation, as well as substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. These are areas where I bring focused experience helping clients understand the patterns beneath the behavior and build practical tools for lasting change. Beyond these specialties, I also support clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I take a holistic approach, recognizing that emotional well-being is shaped by many interconnected areas of life, including relationships, physical health, spirituality, work, family dynamics, and past experiences. Challenges rarely occur in isolation, so together we explore the whole person rather than just the symptoms, working to understand the experiences and strengths that shape your life. I offer a compassionate and collaborative space where you feel safe, respected, and understood without fear of judgment. Drawing on evidence-based methods tailored to your unique needs, values, and goals, I help you develop practical skills while also addressing the deeper experiences that contribute to emotional distress. To me, healing is about more than symptom reduction. It is about building a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and aligned with who you are. My goal is to help you strengthen self-awareness, build resilience, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and reconnect with your authentic self so you can move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and hope

Something about the way you're living doesn't feel right — maybe you can't quite name it yet, but you know it's there. That's exactly where we start. I specialize in working with women (ages 15+), helping my clients untangle what's not working and get back to enjoying their lives and relationships.

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and whole life wellness — because you're not just a set of symptoms, you're a whole person. My practice is grounded in secular, evidence-based modalities; if faith-based or spiritually integrated counseling is important to you, I'd encourage you to seek a therapist who specializes in that area to ensure the best fit.

A Colorado native, I double majored in Psychology and Acting at CU Boulder, and earned my Master's in Counseling from Adams State University. I live in Boulder County with my husband, three dogs, and one cat — and when I'm not in session, you'll find me hiking, reading crime dramas, doing home projects, traveling, or volunteering with local dog rescues. 🐾

When we go through difficult seasons, it is easy to feel alone and isolated. When bad things happen to us in the past, they tend to shadow our present; we feel trapped, as if we can never escape from our history. We may feel that we can never improve and that it's all hopeless. However, there is hope, there is healing, and there is wholeness.

As your therapist, I fill the role of "empathic witness" by meeting you where you are and walking alongside you in your journey to wholeness. Based on my understanding of the mind-body connection, my professional philosophy involves working with you to explore how your body and brain influence your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, manage overwhelming emotions, and promote calmness in both your body and mind. I value the therapist-client relationship because it is essential for fostering healthy change. I strive to help you feel safe, secure, and empowered in our sessions. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who have a trauma background and are feeling stuck in their anxiety and depression. Together, we can help you regain control over your life.
