I was born and raised here in Littleton Colorado. After graduating from a Jefferson County High School, I attended Metro State College (now University). Building on my love for psychology and working with children I went to the University of Denver and obtained my Educational Specialist degree (EdS) in School Psychology. As a school psychologist I worked with students from preschool to 21. I opened my own private practice in 2018 to focus on supporting youth.
Being a human today is so challenging: from high demands, busy schedules, friends, family, technology etc. It can feel like juggling with too many balls and you just don't want one to drop.
My goal is to support in finding your voice. To understand what you are feeling and how that is effecting your life. Then build skills, ask for what you need, and create balance.
I hold certifications in: Sandplay (CST), Trauma (CSST), Assessment/Evaluations, and EMDR. I also use techniques from CBT, psychoeducational, trauma, mindfulness, play, art, and development.
I strive to create a warm, calm and open setting for all who enter. My goal is to not only build skills and support in the present moment but instill the importance of seeking support during difficult times.
Our first session would be a short introduction with the client and important family/friends. This allows us all to meet and discuss strengths and challenges. As well as build your community of support. Sessions following would be between myself and client using a variety of techniques to best meet the goals created.
