Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Reaching out for help can be daunting, and I applaud you for taking this initial step toward living a more rewarding life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working closely with you to ensure that your treatment goals are always my priority. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of anxiety and have extensive experience with adults dealing with trauma exposure, such as victims of crime, domestic violence survivors, and combat veterans. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with parents to enhance the parent-child relationship and address issues related to child non-compliance, aggression, and school behaviors, as well as supporting adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, and work-life balance issues. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to change, and I would be honored to assist you as you strive for a more fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable life.

Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health! It is important to me, as a therapist, that you feel comfortable in a therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard. No one knows more about your life and experiences than you do! We will be able to work collaboratively to help you take the next steps to reach your goals and feel heard in a safe place. Therapy is not a "one and done" experience, and my goal is to provide the necessary tools, resources, and skills to help you thrive based on your individual needs. I look forward to working with you through this healing process.

Hi and welcome to your journey toward a better, more authentic you. I am a clinical mental health counselor who strives to support you in achieving your goals. I hope to walk this journey with you, providing a safe space for you to be vulnerable and discover your inner strength and beauty. I am passionate about helping adolescents with eating disorders. With my background working with this population and understanding the personal effects this illness can have, I aim to empower you on your road to recovery and instill the belief that recovery is not only possible but also worth it! I received my bachelor’s in Psychology and Biohealth Sciences from Oregon State University in 2017 and my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022 from Adams State University. I completed my practicum in crisis services and my internship in an intensive outpatient program for children and adolescents. I have experience in community mental health, including crisis services, addiction, school-based counseling, and outpatient behavioral health services, as well as in an intensive outpatient program for adolescents with eating disorders. In these various roles, I have worked with clients experiencing the effects of ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and behavioral disorders. The therapeutic approaches I use include Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My hope is to provide my clients with skills, identify their strengths, and eliminate barriers to assist them in moving toward healing and gaining autonomy. I was born in Oregon and raised in Montana. I moved to Colorado with my husband in 2019, where we are now raising our children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, watching professional sports, coaching soccer, reading, and playing with my children (both two-legged and four-legged).

I am very passionate and driven to help provide my clients with compassionate, empathetic, ethical, and culturally competent care that will help them achieve their objectives and goals. I believe therapy is not one size fits all, and that treatment should be tailored according to the unique needs of every client. I will meet you wherever you are at on your journey and help guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help provide you with a safe and caring environment to help foster a collaborative relationship and give you the best chance for success. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey. Please know that you are not alone, and you matter!
