I am passionate about helping people uncover their strengths and navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I take pride in building meaningful, collaborative relationships with my clients. My approach to counseling is client-centered and trauma-informed, blending tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness to meet each client's unique needs. I believe in a whole-body approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions in the healing process. I value connection and find witnessing my clients’ resilience and growth deeply rewarding. I have worked with adolescents and adults navigating a variety of concerns, including eating disorders, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. No matter the concern, my goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to share their stories and create meaningful change.

I strongly admire all that social work represents, from relationship building and self-determination to skill strengthening and empowerment, as well as cultivating agency and self-advocacy among individuals and communities, and highlighting the importance of putting systems theory into practice. I apply this concept and consider the biological, psychological, and social-environmental influences on clients and the community. I also recognize and apply the framework of intersectionality as it relates to my clients. Emphasizing a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist lens while engaging in therapy. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Colorado Mesa University in 2019. I then graduated from Colorado State University with a master's degree in social work in 2021. I am currently working towards obtaining my Doctorate in social work from Capella University. During my down time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. listening to podcasts, reading books, cooking delicious foods, shopping, and staying active
