Life can feel overwhelming at times—especially when anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or struggles with food and body image begin to take over. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with experience working with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, relational issues, grief, disordered eating, and weight management. I offer an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is person-centered and uniquely tailored to each client. I believe meaningful change happens within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and understanding. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and move at a pace that feels right. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to support you.

My dedication to helping others was shaped by formative life experiences and strengthened through years of personal growth and professional development. Serving as a medic in the military was a pivotal experience that deepened my commitment to walking alongside people during moments of crisis, uncertainty, and vulnerability. Since then, I have supported individuals through a variety of roles, gaining a deeper appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate while navigating life’s most difficult challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan experiencing trauma, grief, mental health concerns, major life transitions, involvement with the legal system, and other significant stressors. These experiences have expanded my understanding of the many ways people adapt, heal, and create meaningful change.

My education and clinical training have strengthened my therapeutic skills while continuing to shape my empathy, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique story. I am especially drawn to an Adlerian approach, which emphasizes holistic care, social connection, personal strengths, and the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and fulfillment. I integrate evidence-based practices within this framework to help clients develop insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

In therapy, I strive to create a supportive and authentic space where individuals can explore vulnerability, develop self-awareness, and approach themselves with compassion rather than judgment. I believe that courage and connection are essential parts of healing, and that when people recognize their strengths and feel understood, they can move toward greater well-being and a more fulfilling life.

When you go through difficult seasons, it is easy to feel alone and isolated. When bad things happen, they can shadow our present and feel like they're happening right now.  If you've experienced trauma, it's not just an event; it's what happens inside you in the response to that event, and it stays in your body.   You may be noticing that you feel stuck, as if you are looping in the same thoughts and feelings whenever that trauma or bad event is triggered.   Maybe it seems like things will never get better and that it's all hopeless. However, there is hope, healing, and wholeness.

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.  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 can work together to improve your overall emotional and mental well-being. Together, we can change how that trauma or bad event is stored in your body through body-brain based interventions such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and other strategies to help connect you to your body and to the present.  We can also tackle unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to help manage overwhelming emotions. 

Life may feel out of control, and you may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can take control of your life and circumstances by reaching out today to find tools to manage what is in your sphre of control.

As a therapist, I have a deeply held belief in the power of listening and acceptance. It can be scary to trust in yourself, especially when you are suffering. Therapy with me is a space to let go and be yourself: no masks, no judgment, just curiosity, acceptance, and compassion. I provide this space for clients of all backgrounds. My clients would describe me as calm, warm, and adaptable.

I am passionate about supporting clients healing from trauma, dealing with ADHD, and dealing with anxiety. I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you unhook from difficult, tangled thoughts and feelings and to live according to your values. I also use EMDR to support clients healing from trauma. Together, we will collaborate to figure out what has you feeling stuck and what actions you can take to move toward a full, meaningful life.

I am an LPCC in Colorado, providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My work is grounded in compassion, steadiness, and a belief in the strong connection between the body, brain, and emotional wellbeing. I approach therapy in a way that feels calm, supportive, and practical, helping clients feel safe enough to slow down and make sense of what they’re experiencing. Before entering clinical counseling, I worked in community children and family agencies, with a focus on attachment-related concerns, family systems, and early relational stress.

I work with: Children who need help expressing emotions and building regulation skills Adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, school stress, and family conflict Adults facing overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions Families and parents seeking stronger connection and communication with their children.
My style is warm, steady, and collaborative, with attention to both insight and practical change.
