LGBT therapists in Pueblo, CO

I am a clinical social worker who uses an attuned and compassionate approach to accompany you in your deep inner healing work. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, attachment, and the LGBTQ+/polyamorous/CNM community. I utilize IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness and somatic based practices to help you identify, honor, and release emotions and narratives that impact your well-being or self-perception.

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and modern approach that helps you

move forward instead of getting stuck in the past. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt it missed

the mark, or if you’re hesitant to begin, my style is supportive, goal-oriented, and centered

around real progress. Together, we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths,

and create meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect. With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Marriage & Family Therapist Candidate, I bring a strengths-based, collaborative approach to every session.

Growth isn't about having all the answers. It's about having a place to explore the questions. Therapy can help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change.

For the past 13 years, I've helped high-achieving adults manage anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, identity questions, and life transitions with greater confidence and clarity. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ and multicultural communities.

My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you using evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing or have experienced depression, anxiety, anger, grief/loss, relationship conflicts, addictions, gender/identity concerns, lack of motivation, abuse and trauma, life transitions and men’s mental health concerns. In addition, I have worked closely with the LGBTQ+ population. Prior to working in the private practice setting, I have 14 years of experience as a teacher and counselor in the public schools of New Jersey, Texas and Colorado.
