Coping with bereavement, anticipatory grief, or unresolved loss requires compassionate support. Colorado Springs residents can access grief counseling through Headway's network of warm, affirming providers who specialize in meaning-making and trauma-informed care.

I believe in helping individuals feel empowered and confident in their daily lives. I treat adults who have struggled with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders and daily stress. I believe that working with individuals to build a strong foundation can help build feelings of regulation and stability in day to day living.
I am trained in helping you (and the people you care about) to work through challenges in life like sensory issues, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, and trauma. My background includes training in trauma-informed expressive arts therapies and strengths-centered approaches so that we are supporting you living your best life.
I am currently accepting new clients. Great to meet you, and thanks for considering me as you take this next step. Simply being here says a lot, so give yourself credit for showing up for yourself. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as we work toward the changes you’re hoping for. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin, and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s get started, together.

Hello! For the past 12 years I have worked as a trauma therapist in a safety net hospital with individuals who have life threatening psychiatric conditions. As I embark on a new journey opening my own practice, I hope to use this experience to help you live the life you want to be living. I utilize evidenced based therapies to treat anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and the stress of being a person in 2024.
As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.
My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.

I believe we all have a natural impulse towards evolution and health. Through training and discipline we can greatly accelerate this process.
Survival strategies needed in childhood, arising from our intelligence, are no longer appropriate and can cause unnecessary suffering. These outdated approaches are primarily unconscious. I provide a safe non judgmental space to get to know your patterns with an attitude of kindness. This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.
