Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Colorado, I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Iowa and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis University. I have been Licensed for over 5 years and am also an EMDR Certified Therapist. I work with adults and specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes, and relationships.

My approach to therapy

I am truly humanistic at my core. I pride myself on my therapeutic alliance I have with each of my clients. I am also very solution focused while understanding that each client moves at their own pace, so I lead with patience. I also like to incorporate humor, appropriately, into our work because it can make things feel "less scary" and can also break down those walls we tend to build to protect ourselves.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I gather background information and am open to any and all questions. I think it's important to keep things as light as the client wants to, while also setting goals of things we want to accomplish.
