Hello! Nice to meet you! I am a board-certified, Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in child/teen therapy and improving family communication. I enjoy helping people look at challenges in different ways. I am a member of a certified therapy dog team with my Corgi, Olive. I am also a Global Career Development Facilitator and enjoy coaching people through transitions.

I am an EMDR-trained trauma therapist who specializes in working with those who have experienced religious trauma along with adult children of dysfunctional families, alcoholics, and addicts. I have a special place in my heart for working with the LGBTQIA+ community as well. With EMDR, I incorporate attachment work to soften the process.

I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working in various mental healthcare settings. My post graduate training has primarily focused in the areas of trauma (developmental as well as medical) as well as perinatal mental health.

With my background in grief support, disability advocacy and hospice/palliative care I am poised to support you on your journey. If you are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety or fatigue, my affirming and authentic approach may be just what you need.

I work to meet clients wherever they are at emotionally and identify their goals so that we can work together to create the best life possible for them. I have experience working with all ages and walks of life, from first responders and caretakers to teenagers and families. I come from a family of helpers and have a deep understanding of how traumatic experiences can destabilize people's well-being. I am here to work as a guide, not a teacher, and believe that all healing is done by the patient. I seek to empower my patients and show them their inner strength that was there all along.

I am a veteran with a tech background, and I have over 12 years of experience as a counselor. I went back to school in my 40's, so I bring a lifetime of practical experience to my work. I focus on getting to the heart of the matter with clients, while looking for perspective into what may have caused the problem, and tools for the future. We will meet in person most or all of the time - I find this to be more effective.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.

Often, our feelings of shame, hurt and fear rob us of the opportunity to experience true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Do you find yourself running from these feelings or always fighting against them? Instead, I can help you embrace them and work through them. It is through this process of transformation where you learn to find acceptance, meaning

and purpose in your life. This leads to living with self-authenticity, and this is when you experience true joy and fulfillment. I look forward to being your catalyst for change. Together, we will take this journey and progress at your own pace. I encourage you to take the first step and make an appointment. Your life is worth it!

I've been in private practice for 20+ years. I treat teens and adults.I specialize in Marriage and Family concerns, addiction, eating disorders and Trauma/PTSD. I collaborate with clients on what will be useful to them to help clear what's getting in their way.

I believe therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I work to create a warm and supportive space where clients can be themselves without judgment and feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel supported while also being gently challenged to move toward the life they want.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State College of Denver and my Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2014, with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a variety of personal and emotional challenges. My professional background has allowed me to work with individuals and families while developing individualized treatment approaches based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and significant life transitions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults and understand that each person’s experiences and needs are unique. I take a person-centered approach grounded in empathy, connection, and collaboration. I am trained in EMDR and may incorporate EMDR and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

Most importantly, I want my clients to know that they do not have to navigate difficult seasons alone. My goal is to meet you where you are, understand what matters to you, and work alongside you at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.
