I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado and have been in practice since 2019. I have experiance with a wide range of clients from my time working in schools, hospitals and private practice. Through these relationships I have developed a deep compassion for clients who live life bracing for the worst. I aim to create a therapeutic space where people can relearn how to explore, rebound, and play with life's options in a supportive environment.

Generally, my approach to therapy is a safe and collaborative experiance between me and the client(s).

My focus is to help clients develop the understanding and affirming responses necessary to work through challenges and make sustainable changes in their life. In this work I offer an eclectic mix of relationship, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Mind-Body Mindful experiences/creative expression and Autonomic nervous system tuning (safe and sound protocol).

The first session is an important time of meeting, exploring where the client is right now in life, developing goals, and starting to feel out a safe pace for treatment. Take-always from a first session with me can look like: Feeling seen and heard, Empowered with the understanding that treatment is lead by the client, and Buildable goals that are supported by strengths already present (there is always something).
