Grief counselors and therapists in Frisco, CO

If you’re seeking compassionate, collaborative support, you’re in the right place! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary (2018) and training at Denver Family Institute.

I’ve worked in multiple settings, including substance‐use intensive outpatient programs, which shaped my systems‐focused approach.

My approach is rooted in trust, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel seen and understood. I strive to create an environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, without judgment. I have had experience working with all ages- spanning from private practice, community mental health, school social work / school based therapy, and residential treatment centers. While I love working with children and adolescents, I also provide space for adults and parents.
