Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.

My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.


My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.

Welcome to the start of your therapeutic journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) living in Denver, Colorado! I grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved to CO when I fell in love with all it has to offer! I am a Certified ADHD-Clinical Services Provider. As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how it can impact one's life. I have much experience working with clients to cope with how ADHD impacts anxiety & depression. I also specialize in examining how one's queer and neurodivergent identities can compound the trauma of growing up in a world that does not support either identity.

Along with being a therapist, I am a crafter, mother, gardener, queer, neurodivergent, and lover of all things fantasy!

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Aurora

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Aurora starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. Affirmative therapy, WPATH training, and experience with gender-diverse clients can be helpful signals in a therapist’s profile. You may also want support with identity exploration, coming out, relationship concerns, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience reflect the kind of care you want.

Aurora has a meaningful network of mental health therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices, especially if you want a queer-affirming therapist who is accepting new patients and fits your availability. As you compare therapists, review whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, free phone consultations, and scheduling times that work for you. Reading bios can also help you see whether a therapist explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ populations, gender-affirming care, queer counseling, or a communication style that feels like a good match.

Therapy in Aurora can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Aurora who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check insurance coverage, and see estimated costs upfront, so you can compare options and book directly when you’re ready.
