Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to cope with life's challenges? As a therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, and life transitions, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step towards healing. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult grappling with past experiences, current stressors, or uncertainty about the future, I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, process, and grow.

My approach to therapy

I offer a warm, supportive space where you can come as you are. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, I tailor therapy to your needs and goals at a pace that feels right for you. Together we may use evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, EFT, and EMDR to help you understand yourself, heal past trauma, and feel more grounded and empowered each day ahead.

What you can expect from me

With over 12 years in mental health, I’m passionate about helping clients reconnect with their strength and resilience. I offer a warm, supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore challenges, create positive change, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I am licensed to provide mental health services in both Colorado and Virginia.
