Great to meet you!

Hi everyone and thanks for considering me as your therapist. I am originally from North Carolina-transported to Colorado via the military and have lived here for almost 20 years. I am the mom to a wonderful, energetic cockapoo named Minion, and yes, he lives up to his name. I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening, comedy shows, amusement parks, singing (not that I am great at it), and spending time with family and friends. I am also a believer in God through Jesus Christ.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who truly enjoys advocating and assisting clients to reach their high self. I believe in allowing a client to be leader of their healing while providing the tools to gain understanding and invoke a positive change response. I have experience working with adults of all ages. Whether you need assistance to cope with depression and anxiety, assistance with recognizing reoccurring patterns and trauma responses, or navigating relational issues, I am here to help you.

My approach to therapy

I am a very straight forward, and direct person who likes to find silver linings while encouraging clients to operate within their strengths. I appreciate humor and will challenge you as necessary to reach deeper within yourself to reach your intended therapeutic and life goals, as well as provide you empathy and compassion during your most vulnerable moments.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect that I will work to understand your needs and answer any questions that you may have to the best of my ability with honesty. I will respect your beliefs and desires while continuously providing you with a safe, professional environment for your growth experience.
