I have been working with children and families since 2004 and have developed the philosophy that therapy guides us through complicated emotions, helps us make sense of our experiences, and empowers us to make healthy choices for ourselves.

I am a Kansas native who moved to Colorado in 2019 and I am a licensed Clinical Level Social Worker with a Master's Degree and 33 years in the field of Mental Health. I have a wide array of experience including community mental health, foster care, active duty military, college students on a university campus, and in-patient hospital work. I have worked with children/adolescents and adults of all ages. I have experience in Case Management, Therapy, and Management/Supervision.

I have worked with many individuals and couples, and what separates those who benefit from therapy are the people motivated and courageous enought to peek into their blind spots, and as well as committed to learning from sometimes painful trial and error experiences of being human. I feel honored to lead people through this powerful process.

In many ways, our culture has designed an environment where perfectionism, anxiety, and depression are normalized, and a strong sense of self is lost. The individuals I work with are curious about who they really are as a whole human, and are open to exploring the perfectionism that has guided them. Other clients may have narcissistic or antisocial personality traits and a desire to identify and understand behaviors that may be hindering them. My commitment to the individuals I serve is to foster an environment that is free of shame and judgment, where they can finally explore their most authentic self.
