"Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Our goal is to empower youth and their families to improve their quality of life and connect them to appropriate community, vocational, and educational resources. Clients will learn skills to help cope with family relationships, school and academic problems, and other life issues. Parents and caregivers learn how to play a positive role and avoid enabling negative behaviors. Activities are always designed to fit the specific needs of each family.

I work from a strengths-based perspective; I view you as resourceful and resilient in the face of adversity. I also approach therapy from a psychodynamic orientation, which examines how early life experiences shape our coping skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help you reframe unhelpful and/or untrue thoughts that may be holding you back from being your most authentic and best self. I work in a group with 4 other clinicians with similar skill sets and treatment approaches in case I am currently full.

Life can be difficult, whether it is due to emotions, relationships or events. I believe that psychotherapy can help in providing gentle support and a knowledgeable perspective. I have been trained in modalities that can help shift thoughts, emotions and behaviors. We can work together to help you have a happier, more fulfilling life.

The outside noise can often become so loud that it becomes difficult to find our center. When we lose our center, we often have increased anxious thoughts and difficulty regulating our emotions. Maybe you struggle with feeling connected to yourself and others around you. Maybe you want support in increasing your own sense of purpose, love and belonging. I believe we all have the ability to grow a deeper connection to our inner self. When this happens, our relationship with the world around us transforms.

I am accepting new telehealth clients for OCD-related disorders and Tourette's/tic disorders, as well as phobias, social anxiety, and other significant anxiety symptoms.

If you get stuck in worries, repetitive thoughts, or actions, I may be able to help.

I am a dedicated counselor who practices with a person-centered lens, utilizing mindfulness practices and embracing holistic treatment perspectives. I firmly believe that each individual possesses the inherent capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

My primary focus is on fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, as I consider it to be the cornerstone of effective counseling.

Do you feel unheard? Like no one understands you? Maybe you feel like you've lost yourself and tried everything to cope, but still feel empty, angry, and alone. What if someone could guide you in truly defining who you are and help you design a clear path back to yourself? You deserve to be heard, to learn helpful coping skills, and to discover self-care techniques to feel more content and more like yourself again. No one should have to walk this journey alone! I love working with clients in establishing a better sense of empowerment and self esteem. I work from a feminist lens challenging clients to improve their self worth.

As a former victim advocate with Colorado Springs Police Department, I have a deep passion for helping victims of crime regain their power and find their center. It is through my work with law enforcement and victims of crime that I have gained a deep understanding into the dynamics of trauma, vicarious trauma, secondary trauma, and repercussions of untreated PTSD. It has also been my experience that the vast majority of addictions stem from untreated and unaddressed adverse life experiences that are inherently trauma related.

Everyone experiences the world through their unique perspective. My goal is to assist clients in processing and navigating the world and their challenges in healthy and helpful ways.

I enjoy working with people with different perspectives and life experiences to find solutions and skills that work for their life.

Choosing to pursue counseling can oftentimes be scary and difficult. My goal is to come alongside those that are on a path towards healing. People typically don’t pursue therapy when they are in the greatest place and often need someone that can show them non-judgement and a little grace. I believe when someone invites you into this journey it is meant to be taken very seriously and is an honor to bear witness to this form of transformation. Every individual is unique to their own values, beliefs, and what they are striving towards. It is my goal to create a safe space to promote growth and wellness.

My goal is to assist in your discovery and integration of your authentic self and in improving your mental/emotional health. A dear friend of mine, Becky, recently stated “Knowing yourself is half the battle...and laughing at yourself is the other half.” Discovering, becoming and being yourself is a forever evolving process; a process of becoming authentically YOU. Life is what we’re here to live, but how often are we living consciously, intently and with full awareness and presence as our authentic self? Therapy can help with this process.
