I focus on helping children, adolescents, and adults move forward. Problems that can get in the way of moving forward include education and behavior problems, ADD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clinical tools include intellectual and psychological assessment and treatment interventions using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, or emotion focused therapy, which can guide you through to the goals you have set. We'll set these goals early in the session so that we can focus on achieving these goals.

Centennial, CO 80112
Specialties of mine are but not limited to working with the neurodiverse population ( Autism and ADHD/ADD), navigating and coping with anxiety, increasing self-worth through empowerment, LGBTIQ+ difficulties, and processing trauma.
Seeking therapy can be a daunting task, and as a counselor, I want to make this process as smooth and accessible as I can. I enjoy building rapport with my clients and watching them grow and flourish. The relationship between counselor and client often is a predictor for successful outcomes. Therefore, I work hard to offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss life transitions and difficulties.

My specialities are Pediatric bipolar, and Autism spectrum.
My ideal client wishes to get help, recognizes that I can’t “fix anyone”, and is willing to take the time to work on themselves with the tools I can provide to them. I don’t want to be their expert but rather their guide down the path of self discovery with their understanding that I don’t judge my clients, nor do I have any expectations of them other than their desire to help themselves. This model is only for my adolescent to adult clients. Kids rarely think they need help. I’ve always imagined that I’m on the planet to help people who are marginalized, like victims of trauma, special needs kids, women and our frail elderly.

I work best with those who think outside the box. These are clients who would rather live authentically than fit into the societal mold, whether this pertains to one's career, relationship(s), sexuality or gender. Our societal norms aren't just unhelpful in certain situations; they can be downright harmful. Trying to adhere to monogamy is going to make a polyamorous person miserable, and trying to conform to neurotypical social cues can be terribly disheartening for someone with autism. And some norms, like how we're taught to perform masculinity, can be damaging for everyone, no matter our identity.

I am a certified nurse assistant and parent caregiver to a child with autism, a United States Navy veteran, and a single parent.
Clients I work with have asked themselves following questions, "Why does life seem much harder for me than everyone else?" "I know I should say something to them about my feelings, but what if they lash out or stop talking to me?" "How can I find balance and peace in all of this chaos?" "When did this become a problem, and do I need help solving it?"

The past decade of working with children has allowed me to fully understand how every child is unique, and their needs and behaviors can vary greatly. For example, a child with Autism might have specific sensory sensitivities or communication preferences, while a child with ADHD might bring high energy and impulsivity into the room. In play therapy, my approach is to take time to truly understand the child through our interactions to discover their needs and find the right tools and strategies for managing their emotions and behaviors, while building coping skills and gaining confidence in themselves.
