My approach is person-centered.
You do not need to be at your breaking point to seek support. I aim to provide clients with a safe space to process, share, and feel without judgment. I am a virtual-only counselor, and I believe that telehealth is a highly effective means of therapy. I primarily work with clients who are dealing with anxiety issues, OCD, depression, and disordered eating. Clients who wish to overcome their perfectionism, fears, and thought processes that are holding them back would be a great fit with my style and work.

Colorado Springs, CO 80921
I approach the counseling relationship from a person centered theoretical orientation: that is, I believe every person has the answers they are looking for inside of them.
Everyone has a story: how we live within our stories affects the people we are and who we are in the process of becoming. Our stories are about the things we’ve done and the things that have been done to us. We’ve hurt people and been hurt by people. We all have parts of our stories we wish we could change, erase or do over. We’ve listened to, believed and internalized things we or other people have said about us with profound impact. I believe in listening and working within your story to help and I would be honored if you chose to share your story with me.

Starting from a Person-Centered approach, I integrate other theories and techniques such as Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, and AEDP.
We, as humans, have an incredible potential for growth, but we often find life difficult; we feel stuck, alone, and uncertain. I believe that when we work through the hard things, we can find healing. I strive to create counseling relationships based on safety, trust, and hope, where people are accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I believe counseling is an opportunity to work through pain and suffering, develop resiliency which can be carried forward into life, and experience healing, freedom, purpose, and self-acceptance.

I utilize a person-centered and an eclectic therapeutic approaches while incorporating psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques.
The weight of emotional pain can be unbearable and lonely. It is difficult, impossible even, to envision feeling better, feeling fulfilled, feeling connected or just feeling like yourself again. These emotions may result from substance use/abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, or life/work stressors. I understand how daunting this first step can be and I provide a safe, warm space to help you make your way through this and find your healthy path.

My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy which means you are the expert on your experience.
As a military spouse, I have a passion for working with military members and their families. Additionally, I have a particular focus on working with sexual assault survivors, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and first responders. Occasionally, we encounter situations that override our ability to cope and are at a loss for how to move forward. In these times, having a dedicated space where you can show-up however you need and process through the experience in a supportive environment is game-changing. I have sliding scale fees in an effort to make therapy affordable for everyone.

In addition to excellent rapport building skills, I utilize a combination of several therapeutic orientations including systems theory, queer/feminist theory, person-centered, CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, somatic-based, and mindfulness-based techniques.
I believe that finding the right therapist to assist you in your journey is often like finding a pair of shoes that has the right fit. This process can be arduous and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community as I identify as an LGBTQIA2S+ individual myself.
