When you or your child are in the middle of a mental health crisis, it can feel like you're drowning. It's incredibly lonely to carry that weight by yourself. Maybe you're working through substance use disorders, anxiety, or just looking for someone to listen without judging you. This is where I come in! For the last nine years, I have worked as a counselor and therapist in the residential setting, standing by adults, youth, and families during their darkest times.

I am both Queer and neurodivergent, so I know personally how it is to feel like you have to hide who you are. I bring my unfiltered self to our sessions, hoping it creates a space where you can be just as real with me. When I am not working, I am usually hanging out with my two dogs, tending to my reptiles and invertebrates, or playing D&D. I also love going to the Renaissance Festival in full costume. I live in Denver, Colorado now, but I spent most of my life in the South.

I'd love to hear your story. Let's connect and see if we're a good fit!

My style is pretty straightforward - I’m curious, and I don't beat around the bush. My goal is to challenge you to grow. Over the last 9 years, I’ve worked as both a counselor and a therapist dealing with high-acuity crises. I’ve trained in many modalities, including DBT, Family Systems, and Restorative Justice. I've worked across a large spectrum of diagnoses, including substance use disorders, learning disabilities, and TBIs. As Hildegard Messenbaugh put it, "No one f*cks up their life on purpose." I carry that belief into every session. Together, we’ll dive into the real questions: How did you get here? What is the root of your struggles? And what are you going to do about it? I don't shock easily, and it takes a lot to scare me off. So, please bring your heaviest struggles to our sessions.

Our first session will be a 60 min long meeting. It is for getting to know each other! You'll get a sense of how I show up, and how sessions feel. Then, we can decide together if we're a good fit.
