The hardest step is starting counseling. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship by creating a safe place for you to be. I want to foster a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for all my clients—a place where you want to come, learn, and grow. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you to help you get where you want to be, becoming a happy, healthy, and thriving individual. You are the expert of yourself, and I believe in being client-centered, allowing you to lead the therapeutic process. I believe real change occurs when you are ready for it. I am passionate about helping you reach your goals and the future you desire.

With a deep commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and empowerment, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and supported on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe and validating space for my clients, empowering them to navigate and overcome. My passion for mental health advocacy and continuous professional development underscores my commitment to providing the highest quality care.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to land—a place where you can show up exactly as you are and feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're navigating past trauma, current life stressors, relationship challenges, or anxiety, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care. I’m a Social Work Candidate with a Master of Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver and over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and I bring a deep respect for each person’s unique story and strengths. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and grounded in the belief that healing looks different for everyone. I draw from a range of therapeutic methods—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, recreational and art-based practices—and I am currently deepening my work in somatic and expressive therapies. Most importantly, I tailor each session to your individual needs, goals, and pace. It’s not always easy to reach out for support, but I truly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help you grow, I’d be honored to connect with you.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides individualized and evidence-based care to people with a wide variety of mental health concerns in an environment that is professional, respectful, and empathetic. Seeking help can be intimidating. When I first meet someone, I strive to create a safe environment for each client to feel heard, supported, and comfortable. I get to know each client as a whole person with a unique history, life experiences, interests, and goals. My approach to care is always collaborative and flexible, with clients as active participants in their care. By working together, I am confident I can help clients minimize their distressing symptoms, attain a sense of fulfillment, and improve their quality of life.

I've been fortunate to practice as a therapist since my internship/practicum as a therapist in 2011 and graduating with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in May of 2012. My career began in a practice that specialized in general mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, parenting support, and couples counseling to treating abuse survivors of varying ages and degrees of severity. After a few years in that practice, I began work as a Clinical Coordinator and Counselor who's caseload consisted of mostly children, teens and their families with the goal of healing trauma and building a safe, loving and respectful environment for all. Over the course of the last decade I have run my own private practice where I've done work with couples, grief and loss, relationship difficulty, divorce, trauma, teens, parenting support, chronic illness and managing various life challenges and mental health concerns my clients need support with. At present, I am in the final stages of completing my Doctorate of Education in Community Care and Counseling with a Traumatology emphasis. This has created opportunity for me to learn even more in the field of trauma and therapeutic treatments that support sustainable healing. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach that has been developed by my 14+ years of therapeutic experience, trainings/practice and my own personal experience as a wife, mother, woman and person navigating life. My treatment style is tailored to what the client needs, honesty in facing the pain or difficulty that client may be managing, while holding hope for healing and a better future. I am a big believer that trauma and life experience wounds can be managed/soothed and no-one is beyond redemption if they choose to start the process of healing. I am looking forward to working with you, your family and your significant others.
