I've been practicing since 2020 in a variety of therapy settings. I have a master's of science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in CO. My main specialty area is trauma.
I received my master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology, where my previous career in cancer research led me to a focus on health psychology and psychosocial oncology. In addition to addressing chronic health issues such as cancer, I specialize in life transitions and adjustment difficulties, identity issues, anxiety, depression, challenges related to aging, and the many forms of grief and loss.

Like many of my clients, I struggled a lot and felt like life was harder then it should be. Having done the work of therapy myself, I am now a licensed professional counselor. Before entering private practice, I spent thousands of hours in various different practices working with clients that struggled with depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with men, women, teens and adults (14-45). I've found that undiagnosed neurodiverse clients and folks with traumatic family backgrounds are frequently attracted to me and so I've been putting more emphasis on study and research in these areas.
Two personal virtues I value greatly are learning and curiosity. I will bring these two attitudes to the therapy room and with you to ensure that we develop concepts and theory that fits your experiences. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with my dissertation focusing on neuroscience-informed treatment. Our internal signals are as powerful as our external reactions. Together, we can use these techniques to quantify treatment!
I am a creative and playful child and family therapist who helps people with toxic stress, relationship issues, and anxiety. I offer expert trauma care with advanced EMDR and parts work to free people from the effects of their worst experiences, even for very little kids. I help people who have anger outbursts, panic, dissociation, shutting down, and younger-than-their-age behavior. Families who want to be free of trauma, conflict, and worry will find a fun, caring, and warm approach from me.
Hello, I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 7 years. I provide a safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where clients feel seen and heard. My approach integrates evidence-based, strength-focused therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Process, and Solution-Focused techniques. Together, we’ll work to help you navigate life transitions with resilience and self-compassion.
I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and warmly welcome clients from diverse backgrounds.
Do you struggle with worry or stress? Do you sometimes lose sleep, become unfocused or distracted, or is being present and calm around other people challenging? Sometimes, after a period of struggle (like a loss, divorce, or extended work stress), we can forget what it was like to not struggle. To find that calm again, to reclaim who we used to be, can help us move forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Golden
Finding the right therapist in Golden, CO starts with identifying what you want to address. Common reasons people in the Golden area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Golden is a smaller community, so you may also want to consider providers in nearby cities like Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, and Arvada, or those who offer virtual sessions across Colorado. Having flexibility with format and location can open up more options, especially if you're looking for a specific specialty or therapy style like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Therapy in the Denver metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Confirming your coverage upfront can help you focus on finding the right provider rather than worrying about cost.
