I specialize in treating families, individuals, and children (ages 5+) who struggle to connect with others, solve problems, or understand different perspectives. This often creates feelings of loneliness, sadness, or hopelessness. I have extensive experience working with those who have Autism and other disabilities. My mission is to help you develop the crucial skills of self-worth and insight. It's important to remember you don't have to navigate the struggles in life alone; I am here to walk alongside you in a supportive, judgment-free space.

As your therapist, I offer a space that is nonjudgmental, kind, and genuinely welcoming. I understand that trying new ways of facing life's challenges can be intimidating, and my goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout that process.

Professionally, I bring experience from a variety of challenging settings—including my time serving clients and families in foster care and nursing homes, even through the COVID-19 pandemic. My academic foundation is rooted right here in Colorado, having attended CSU and Adams State.

Personally, I'm a native Coloradan, a bonus mom, and a lover of all things creative, including photography and fine art.

My ultimate purpose in this work is simple: to be an open and secure space where you can process your journey, question mindsets that no longer serve you, and work toward being the best version of yourself—as you define it.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted for who you are. I work with teens and adults and have experience supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can be honest about what you are experiencing and feel comfortable moving at a pace that works for you. My goal is to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where we can work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

My primary focus is the restoration of the nervous system. I specialize in supporting recovery from complex, relational, and medical trauma. Because trauma impacts every layer of how we function, my practice also centers on the deeply connected challenges that come with it—including severe anxiety, chronic stress, mood fluctuations, complex personality patterns, and the profound journey of grief and loss.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, and personal struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they want to be.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that healing happens when people feel accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. No matter how difficult things may feel today, I believe there is hope for growth, healing, and recovery.
