I earned a Bachelor’s degree from CSU-P in Forensic Psychology and a Master’s degree from Regis University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a Nationally Board-Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II: Complex Trauma (CCTP-II), trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have ten years of experience working with attachment, relationship issues, stress, nervous system regulation, anger, trauma, and the mind/body connection.

The only constant in life is change, which means transition. It also means opportunities to create more tools and skills for your toolbox! I work with attachment through a variety of phases: exploring patterns that have and have not worked, understanding unmet needs and wants, passivity versus activity, and nervous system regulation. Incorporating skills that develop empathy, self-compassion, and patience is my method to unlearning unhelpful behaviors and relearning healthier patterns.

I aim to provide you with immediate tools, understanding, and increase self-empowerment to better address and navigate parts of yourself that no longer serve your journey to your goals.
