I have been drawn to this work for as long as I can remember. From an early age, I was struck by the amount of suffering that exists in the human experience. When considering how to spend my energy in this world, there has never seemed to be work more meaningful than supporting others as they heal. While much of my role focuses on strengthening our broader community, the most profound impacts I have witnessed continue to occur in the one-on-one therapeutic relationship. I believe the work that happens in a therapy room has the power to ripple outward into families, communities, and society as a whole.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and trauma-informed. I believe that many of the ways we think, feel, and behave were developed out of necessity and once helped us survive. Over time, however, those same patterns can prevent us from fully thriving. My goal is to create a space where individuals can better understand both the strengths and limitations of these patterns and feel empowered to make meaningful changes that support greater contentment and life satisfaction.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Arizona and a Master’s degree in International Disaster Psychology from the University of Denver, a program focused on helping individuals and communities heal from trauma both locally and globally. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in nonprofit outpatient mental health settings for nearly a decade.

My clinical experience includes providing individual and group therapy, working in alternative courts serving adolescents with mental health diagnoses, developing programs for communities impacted by violence and natural disasters, providing therapy in the Denver County Jail, and offering mental health support internationally in Ghana. I specialize in EMDR, Ego States therapy, and grief work, and I am particularly passionate about helping parents break cycles of intergenerational trauma so that their children can grow up with different, healthier experiences.

I work with adolescents and adults and remain deeply committed to both clinical care and community-centered healing.
