Find Your Counselor

I believe that life and mental health are a journey. My job is to walk alongside you on this journey until you feel comfortable navigating life on your own. Therapy is essential for unlocking the best versions of ourselves. I am an LPCC in the state of Colorado, and I look forward to working with you. I have worked in mental health for the past seven years, including roles as a mental health technician in a hospital, answering crisis intervention phone lines, providing in-person crisis intervention, and offering individual clinical mental health therapy. It can be challenging to navigate life's twists and turns alone. Therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner selves, thoughts, and feelings, gaining insights to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. As your therapist, my role is to provide unwavering support and guidance as you embark on this journey of self-discovery.

My passion is to be a beacon of light to all clients. I have the ability to bring authenticity, compassion, trust, and openness to the therapy setting. I desire to get clients to a place of thriving in this life when it feels like they are unable to just survive. I prioritize making connections with each client to discover who they uniquely are. I feel a sense of purpose and joy when engaging with clients by being fully present. I look forward to building a safe and warm therapeutic relationship that is beneficial to each client's growth and personal journey.

I deeply respect the transformative power of therapy and see it as a space where compassion meets shared human experience. Each session is an opportunity to honor my clients' stories with care and support mutual growth. My approach is strengths-based, focused on helping clients reframe their narratives as survivors, not victims, while highlighting their resilience in the face of challenges. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, collaborative space where we can explore self-discovery, growth, and healing together.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness.

I am a person-centered therapist whose main focus is on what you need as a client. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual, which is why I use a variety of therapeutic methods in an eclectic style designed to suit your unique situation. Whether it's exploring emotions, addressing challenges, or building new coping strategies, I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to grow and heal. I am always open to trying new approaches that align with your needs and preferences because I understand that each journey is personal. My ultimate goal is to help you discover what would make your life more fulfilling, balanced, prosperous, and manageable, while fostering your ability to thrive in your own way. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful and lasting change.

I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to meet you where you are. With over three years of experience, my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I deeply value the connections I make with my clients and believe that personal growth happens when you feel safe to explore your feelings, challenges, and aspirations. While not every therapist will be the right fit for everyone, my commitment is to walk alongside you and help you find the tools you need to move forward, whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

As a counselor, my goal is to aid you in reclaiming your inner strength and resilience, empowering you to heal from past wounds, overcome obstacles, and navigate the challenges that life may bring. I am here to guide and support you as you work through difficult emotions and experiences, helping you to uncover hidden strengths and develop new coping strategies. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can openly explore your emotions, identify patterns or behaviors that no longer serve you, and set meaningful goals for personal growth. Together, we will work to uncover a deeper, more meaningful sense of self—grounded in self-discovery, authenticity, and a greater understanding of your unique journey. Whether you are looking to process past trauma, strengthen relationships, or gain clarity about your direction in life, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

As a trauma-informed therapist specializing in PTSD, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for healing. I honor the courage it takes to step into therapy and engage in the inner work. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and uncertain—sometimes even questioning the direction of our lives. I understand how overwhelming and isolating that can be. My approach is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity, helping you gain clarity, reconnect with your values, and rediscover a sense of meaning in your life. With a blend of authenticity, life experience, and a sense of humor, I strive to create a welcoming and grounded environment where real change can occur. I focus on helping individuals reconnect with themselves, build emotional resilience, and find clarity and strength in who they are. I bring a culturally inclusive perspective to every session and tailor the therapeutic process to meet each client’s needs and goals. I’m honored and humbled to be part of this work, and I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey with compassion, insight, and wholehearted care. My training and experience include a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health, over three decades of service in education as a principal and teacher, a Master’s and Bachelor’s in special education, certification as an Emotional Freedom Coach, and certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, as well as CAMS Certified (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality). There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein
