Meet the Providers
I use a person-centered approach to help create the change you want in your life. I help you integrate tools that feel authentic to your needs using a multicultural, trauma-informed lens. I have years of experience working with military families and understand the unique challenges faced. I work collaboratively with clients and I believe in bringing out the strength individuals possess and utilizing those strengths to promote change. I offer an authentic presence filled with support, empathy, encouragement, as well as humor, joy, and understanding. I look forward to hearing your story.
Hello! I believe we each have our own best solutions within us, even if we haven’t found them yet. We are resilient. There are many paths to change, and what works for one, may not work for another. Fundamentally, a process of change must honor individuality to achieve ultimate success. Effective change solutions must support the whole person holistically, not merely target the problem.

I consider mental health as part of overall physical health and wellbeing, focusing on treating the whole person while practicing evidenced based medicine.

Every person contemplating therapy comes to that decision for different reasons and with their own hopes and goals. As a Clinician, I have always considered my role to be a partner in exploring your needs and supporter of the changes you want to see in your life. Our time together is an opportunity for you have the space and permission you need to feel heard and decide what is next for you. So, if you want to learn some skills for managing life’s struggles, find out more about what makes you-you, or simply have a place to talk things out–whatever it is you need, I am here for you.
I am licensed in Colorado with 14 years of professional work experience. I have a passion for helping clients to a better place. I understand that taking that first step in seeking help can be difficult. You are not alone. I come alongside my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have years of experience in assisting individuals with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, low-self esteem, and building confidence. I am here to support you in that process.
I received my MS in mental health counseling from Capella University. Additionally, I received a play therapy
certificate from Capella University. I completed my internship at TESSA and worked at Peak View Behavioral
Health. I believe in working together to achieve treatment goals while providing a safe and supportive space.
I am a licensed clinical counselor dedicated in helping people manage the challenges in life. I would like to teach you skills and tools to navigate emotions when things become difficult. I create a safe and non-judgmental space to work with you in processing feelings concerning your past, your present, and discover your goals for the future.
Life can feel overwhelming and challenging and choosing to move forward during these difficult times takes courage and strength. Making the decision to seek therapy to help navigate through life’s toughest challenges is a great first step. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, DBT,
psychodynamic and strengths-based therapy.
I am a positive and personable Therapist providing trauma informed therapy. I help individuals understand who they are and how to work through their past/present challenges and hurts as they move forward towards a future filled with hope. I do not believe individuals need to stay in therapy all of their lives. I work to equip individuals with the tools they need to move forward in life on their own.
I am very nurturing and enjoy building rapport with clients and collaborating on establishing treatment goals with them. I provide a non-judgmental space where they feel they can be vulnerable.
