I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC). I have been working in mental health and counseling in various clinical settings for over 18 years. I am trained in evidence based models and uniquely qualified to work with working class adults that are serious about making changes.

I specialize in working with addiction problems, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I believe that to embrace change is to embrace life. I also consult and support families and friends that have a suffering loved one and don't know what to do.

Life's challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and disconnected, leading to struggles with low-self-esteem, relationship issues, or trauma. Whether it’s navigating anxiety, family conflict, racial trauma, or a major life transition, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I am passionate about empowering individuals and utilize a person-centered, culturally responsive, strengths-based approach to support people on their path towards healing and hope.

I love working with folks who have lived a life of being misunderstood and feeling "alien" so they can finally experience acceptance and confident authenticity.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes the challenges we face—whether it’s the stress of being a new parent, navigating a difficult relationship, managing trauma, or dealing with anxiety and depression—can feel insurmountable. I believe that every person has inherent strengths that can be harnessed to create positive change. In our work together, we will explore your unique needs and build practical, personalized tools that empower you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

With over 20 years of experience in diverse behavioral health settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to help you navigate challenges. I specialize in maternal mental health, trauma, women's issues, relational issues, family conflict, substance use concerns, anxiety, and work or career-related stress.

After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colorado State University, I worked in the corporate world as a business consultant. While working as a consultant, I frequently observed how people’s hectic work schedules and day-to-day stressors could slowly wear them down emotionally, resulting in their happiness being compromised.

Seeing this trend in the business world, coupled with the passion I’ve always had for understanding people’s thinking and way of doing things, prompted me to pursue my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from University of Colorado Denver. Now with my professional experience and educational background, I can more easily navigate how to handle the day-to-day stressors and help my clients manage the mental health piece of their lives.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. I have advanced training in mental health assessment, medication management, and therapeutic support for individuals of all ages. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, and ADHD. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected.
