My dedication to helping others was shaped by formative life experiences and deepened through both personal growth and professional development. A pivotal moment was my service as a medic in the military, which solidified my commitment to supporting others in times of crisis and vulnerability. Since then, I’ve held diverse roles and spent years supporting individuals facing complex life challenges, each experience deepening my understanding of human resilience and strengthening my dedication to the helping profession. I’ve supported individuals across the lifespan through trauma, grief, mental health concerns, life transitions, legal system involvement, and other impactful stressors.

My education and clinical experience have honed my therapeutic skills, broadened my perspective, and deepened my empathy—enabling me to empower others while continuing my own growth. Through this journey, I’ve aligned strongly with an Adlerian approach, emphasizing holistic, goal-oriented care, social connectedness, and the belief that every individual can realize their potential. This framework integrates evidence-based practices to promote wellness and meaningful change. As Alfred Adler noted, “Courage is the willingness to be imperfect.” 

In therapy, I create a space where individuals can embrace vulnerability, develop self-awareness, and move toward growth with compassion rather than self-judgment. I believe that fostering courage and connection allows clients to recognize their strengths, engage authentically in change, and cultivate lasting well-being.

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. 🐾
