I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2004. In 2011, I went back to gain my Masters degree in Clinical Counseling from Adams State University. After taking a year off to volunteer in Chile, I finished my degree in 2015. My work experience has allowed me to assist a vast amount of individuals, including children and families for over 13 years.
My approach to Therapy is focusing on helping people to process depression/anxiety, stress management, trauma, and to incorporate mindfulness techniques. My work as a counselor over the years has helped me understand the unique challenges that face all of us on a daily basis. I have learned that you must allow yourself time to heal, reflect, and learn from your experiences to become more resilient.
My hope is that we can develop understanding and notice that the way we think and interpret life's numerous challenges impacts how we behave and feel. People often doubt themselves and their ability to cope with life, relationships and stressful situations and bombard themselves with negative self-talk. My practice is to work with my clients to find deeper meanings in sessions and leave in a better mental space than they arrived in.
