I am drawn to being a therapist because it feeds my desire to be a life-long learner, not only about psychology but to learn from my clients and the people I interact with. Each person is unique, and I am honored to be a part of these individual healing and growing journeys. I do this job because I see there is suffering and hardship for many people in this world and I believe I can help people to ease, accept, and grow from these experiences.

Each person that sits across from me has a story to tell and a goal to achieve. I like to work collaboratively with my clients to find the process that works best to achieve these goals. I approach clients with an open and non-judgmental mind, and I help to facilitate insight into their lives by exploring existential fears, working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and any number of challenges.

I have an associate of arts degree from Colorado Mountain College, a bachelor’s degree in applied psychology from the University of Phoenix, and I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. I have been working in the mental health field since 2020. I have worked in an inpatient crisis stabilization and detox center, emergency room, inpatient psychiatric hospital and psychiatric emergency department, as a mobile crisis clinician, and as an outpatient therapist. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in the state of Colorado.

My background has been mostly in crisis work including working with severe and persistent mental illness. However, I have found working as an outpatient therapist suits me far better and I am always finding new passions in this field. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which can help individuals overcome traumatic experiences in their lives. I have also been exploring and adapting approaches to better serve the diversity of neurotypes that clients present with.  I work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and am always looking for better ways for clients to feel seen, heard, and respected.
