I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker that specializes in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and military/veteran support. My practice focuses on empowering clients aged 18 and above to heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence from Simmons University in 2016 and achieved full clinical licensure in 2020. Through my experiences working with military members and their families, I have learned the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on symptom management, but also on addressing the root cause, and helping clients build skills that can be used outside of the session. After all, in any given week, there are 167 hours’ worth of living done outside of therapy.

I've been called to provide a space for others to be seen, heard, and known in the midst of their feelings of shame, guilt, fear, inadequacy, unworthiness, and vulnerability and through their experience of being more truly known be reminded of their profound value and worthiness

I am a licensed marriage and family counselor in Colorado. I have a bachelor's degree in Communication, a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I love working with couples and individuals struggling with relationship issues. I have extensive experience with high conflict couples and military families. I believe that most relationship struggles can be solved and am honored to guide my clients to resolution and peace in their relationships.

I am client-centered in my approach, and I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual client's needs and goals. I have training in multiple theoretical approaches, and am dedicated to helping clients heal from past traumas, rebuild their confidence and self-worth, and find meaning in their lives. I believe that although seeking therapeutic help can be intimidating, when we work together to create meaningful change, we can achieve increased life satisfaction and happiness.

My goal is to help you understand and accept the many multifaceted aspects of yourself and integrate these aspects, forming a cohesive, harmonious sense of self.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been living in Colorado since 2005. I have a Master's of Science degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety and/or depression symptoms, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

As a late diagnosed ADHD woman, I understand the struggles of perfectionism, anxiety and disordered eating and strive to provide neuro-affirming care. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I am confident we can get you there.

Reclaim Your True Self.....You look like you have it together, but inside, something feels off. You give too much, lose your voice, and repeat the same relationship patterns, even when you see it happening. This often comes from emotionally unavailable relationships and years of people-pleasing. You’re not broken, you’re caught in a deeper pattern. I help women break these cycles, reconnect with themselves, and create lasting, embodied change.

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting your mental wellness. I help children, teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and ADHD.
