Therapist

As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.

My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


Finding the right therapist matters, and I understand that reaching out is often the hardest step. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for more than 20 years, working with adolescents, adults, and seniors across a wide range of life challenges. I am EMDR-certified and trained in a broad range of approaches because no two people are the same, and neither are their needs. I stay committed to ongoing training because therapy and people both continue to evolve. Past clients have appreciated my flexible, engaging, and non-judgmental style. My goal is to get to know you and work with you exactly where you are.
