I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.

As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and opening up to work on your goals. I will strive to name and provide the words that empower you to speak about your experiences and help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to sharing the weight and helping you feel more confident and in control moving forward. Therapy is about you, and you are the expert on yourself; I am a guide to help you explore in a validating and supportive space. I utilize person-centered therapy, which focuses on unconditional positive regard. As humans, we make mistakes, and I am here to help you recognize what other factors contributed to your behavior to enable the change you desire. When I am not providing therapy, you can catch me out hiking, going to cultural events, and learning to play the ukulele. I am originally from Alaska but fell in love with the Colorado sunshine and am content to see the mountains a little bit further away. I’m a happy plant mom of 20, and yes, they are all flourishing.

Welcome! Therapy is about having a good "fit" that can blossom into a great therapeutic relationship. A therapist who is willing to listen while working alongside a client is essential. Treatment often sounds very clinical; however, I encourage you to remember that the goals and objectives of treatment are intended to be collaborative and client-directed. Therapists are not meant to "fix" people but are called to be catalysts of change through which the client navigates their circumstances. As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my role is to listen and provide options for treatment approaches that fit your needs in a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. I look forward to being a part of your team.

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!
