I obtained my Dual Master’s degree program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling at the University of Northern Colorado in 2021.

I am a licensed professional counselor. I work with children ages 13 through 18 as well as with adults. I desire to build strong therapeutic relationships with each of my clients using a person-centered approach. I am able to provide both telehealth and in person counseling. I believe that a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely interconnected, and therefore primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can incorporate focused mindfulness techniques, assertiveness training, and work with the family through periodic family sessions. I am also receiving training in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS).

What if we as people (and all of our parts) are intrinsically good? What if even our suffering has something kind and wise that it’s trying to say, and all we have to do is listen? With this notion that we could “become friends” with the pain in our hearts and minds and access this intrinsic goodness, I aim to empower my clients to embrace their tenderness and to discover the beauty and brilliance of their authentic selves.

Does life leave you feeling weighed down by daily stressors and fears? Do you struggle with overthinking, trusting yourself, and accepting how you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable with expressing what you want or need in life? I understand that starting therapy with a new counselor can be daunting, and I recognize the significance of an ongoing relationship shared between a client and counselor. Clients can expect an open-minded, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment in session with me. I intend to create an environment within each session that mindfully sets you in the direction of your goals.

Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe we are all multi-storied beings who contain many parts-none of which are bad. Along the way, we collect stories-stories that others tell about us, stories we tell about ourselves, the story we tell about the problem, and stories we inherit from dominant knowledge or culture. These narratives shape our perception of ourselves and others and can influence relational connection and the way we relate to our own self, which often contributes to why one might seek out therapy.
