I can help you with struggles like depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, career counseling, and veterans issues (as one of them). Do you need help leaving a bad situation but you are feeling stuck? Are you struggling to adjust to leaving a bad situation and need some help connecting with your new life? Have you been feeling overwhelmed and you haven't been able to cope with life? Do you need someone to walk through hell with you and make sure you don't get distracted from the path out of rock bottom depression?

I have worked in the Denver metro area as a counselor since 2014 giving people the coping skills to make positive transformations and get to a place where they are thriving and enjoy life. I specialize in a person-centered care approach that meets you where you're at without judgements.

I offer sessions later in the evening because I understand the importance many place on their jobs, not wanting to dip out from work every week for an appointment or broadcast their therapy needs to coworkers due to stigmas. That's why I named my practice Late Night Counseling! Does it sound like I’m a good fit for you? Send me a message!
