“I am not good enough.” “My heart begins to race when things become too much for me.” “I am a burden to those around me.” “It feels like things are never going to get better.” I am here to support you.

I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds can feel supported. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, processing trauma, or simply unpacking the everyday struggles of life, I’m here to walk alongside you.

As your therapist, I take a holistic, integrated approach to mental health that is client-centered, collaborative, and affirming. I am passionate about supporting healing through a stronger connection to the self, others, and the environment, all while honoring each client’s unique identity, strengths, and lived experience. In our work together, you’ll undergo true transformation in a setting that fosters growth, trust, and connection, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet you where you are. This collaborative style allows us to adapt each session to align with your personal goals, values, and life events. Outside the office, I love exploring all that Colorado’s great outdoors has to offer alongside my dog, Moose. Hiking, skiing, fly fishing, wildlife watching – I enjoy it all, as well as indoor activities like cooking, journaling, music, and reading. This mix of creative activities helps me stay grounded, recharge, and maintain a sense of joy and balance in my daily life.

“I’m not where I thought I’d be at this point in my life.”...“I find it difficult to manage my emotions on my own.”...“I feel like I’m lacking purpose and motivation.”...“I wish I had more support.”... If you recognize yourself in any of these statements, I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be overwhelming. We aren’t meant to overcome challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions alone. That’s where I come in. Together we will work towards your goals, one step at a time. It is possible to achieve your goals and feel positively about the life you are living. If you’re ready to receive care, give me a call and we can talk about how I can best help you.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. With a warm, client-centered approach, I use a mix of humanistic, strengths-based, CBT, and mindfulness techniques to support clients in processing difficult emotions and discovering their own path toward healing. The focus of this process is collaborating with you, the client, by creating a safe and understanding space, which is the foundation of any successful therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with teens and adults, particularly those who are neurodiverse, including individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also provide support to people navigating grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual, creating a compassionate and supportive environment for growth and healing. Healing comes from within, and you are the expert on yourself. It is always my hope to be an empowering force for you in the pursuit of whatever it is you aim to achieve in therapy. In addition to individual therapy, I am also open to working with family systems when needed, recognizing how important these dynamics can be in the healing process. While we may all be individuals, we are constantly operating within systems. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or just need someone to help you work through life’s challenges, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

From a young age, I always had a passion for helping and supporting others. No matter your struggle, I see the human being in front of me, not a label or diagnosis. My vision for our work together is tailored to you and concentrates on your unique, individual needs. My office is a judgment-free zone, so let’s roll up our sleeves and finally talk about the things you've been carrying in silence. I not only accept all, I embrace all. I can’t wait to get started with you! My clinical background centers around the most common mental health concerns you might be facing, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems with effective communication, life transitions, anger management, parenting support, body image, gender identity, and support around coping skills. My therapeutic approach values solution-focused care, challenging your beliefs and way of thinking while building a warm and safe space through humor, collaboration, empowerment, and rapport. I also specialize in sex and relationship therapy for individuals. Having seen the impact of stress on sexual minorities, I know firsthand the importance of finding a therapist who embraces the complexities of sexuality and diverse relationship styles. The most common sex therapy concerns I treat that folx bring in are gaps in desire, sexual functioning issues, sexual behavior that feels out of control (commonly referred to as “sex addiction” or “porn addiction”), and many more. No power dynamic, fetish, kink, fantasy, behavior, or desire is too much for us to discuss together. I am also proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the sex worker community. You are safe here. Outside the office, you’ll often find me photographing the Colorado sights or reading in the mile-high sunshine. And, of course, daydreaming about future travel plans abroad!
