Family therapy and counseling in Lone Tree, CO

Do you find yourself constantly second guessing your decisions, feeling anxious more often than not, or struggling to feel truly content in your own life? Maybe stress has taken over, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're quietly battling low self esteem and self doubt. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self esteem struggles, and that persistent feeling of not being at peace with themselves. My approach starts with genuinely getting to know you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. Before we talk about treatment plans, I want to understand your story, what's weighing on you, and what a better life looks like for you.

In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve spent a long time trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing while feeling empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to substance use and recovery. I also have experience supporting military service members and their families and understand that the experiences that bring someone to therapy are often complex and deeply personal.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Rather than simply telling you what you should do, I work alongside you to understand where you are, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that fit your life and your goals.

🌄 A Tale of Two States: From Colorado to Texas

I'm a proud product of two distinct states: I spent my formative years growing up in Colorado before a major shift landed me in Pflugerville, Texas, as a high school junior.

That move—especially navigating a new culture and community during those challenging teenage years—was a profound adjustment period. It was this early, personal experience with transition and change that fundamentally shaped my path and inspired me to choose counseling as my career. Now, I carry the influence of both states with me.
