It is an absolute privilege to help you establish a safe, empowering foundation for your care where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as behavior modification, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also have experience working with justice-involved individuals, recognizing the unique challenges, experiences, and barriers they may face as they navigate change and work toward personal growth.

After earning my Bachelor of Social Work from Colorado State University, I obtained my Master of Social Work with a specialization in Mental Health from the University of Denver. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and believe that everyone’s journey is unique. My approach is rooted in meeting you where you are, creating a space where you feel heard and understood, and working collaboratively to build on your strengths. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges, develop new skills, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

I look forward to supporting you on your path toward greater well-being, with a healthy mix of insight, encouragement, practical tools, and maybe a few laughs along the way.

I believe that balancing evidence-based practices with a deep personal connection is the best way to foster genuine emotional growth. I take a direct but supportive approach to therapy, and I believe in being both honest and compassionate. I also believe that sometimes laughter can be a powerful tool in making tough conversations a bit easier and at times is a great way to create space for healing and perspective. I believe that therapy is most effective when we are able to be open and authentic with each other. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic approaches, and Solution-Focused Therapy, but I always tailor my approach to what is going to work best for you. Together, we will work to identify patterns that might be holding you back, explore your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more in control of your life. While I will be direct when necessary, and I might challenge you along the way, my goal is to always empower you to make meaningful changes and achieve tangible goals in your life.

Reaching out for help takes courage, and my hope is that our time acts as a quiet refuge where you can step away from the heavy demands of your daily life. I am committed to creating a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can open up about whatever is on your mind right from the start. In our first session, we will gently explore your history, symptoms, and client-centered goals at a natural, comfortable pace without any pressure to share everything all at once. Whether you need a solid action plan or simply a space to process emotions, I am here to help. We will collaboratively outline a roadmap for your future to ensure you leave feeling fully heard, validated, and supported.
