Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re not sure where to begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, trying to make sense of what’s going on, or just carrying a lot day-to-day, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I am a passionate and supportive therapist who works with you to understand all the pieces of what you’re experiencing. I believe that before deeper healing can happen, it’s often important to first find ways to manage the stress and pressure of everyday life. We may not be able to figure it all out together but finding a place to simply start can help taking care of yourself feel easier to accomplish.

Anxiety doesn’t just show up as worry. It shows up as intrusive thoughts you can’t tame. Panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Ruminating, checking, seeking reassurance or avoiding. Or the same relationship argument that keeps replaying, no matter how hard you try. I work with individuals and couples in Colorado Springs who feel stuck in anxiety-driven patterns. Whether that’s OCD, panic disorder, trauma responses, or reactive relationship cycles. My approach is structured and evidence-based(SFTB, Gottman, ICBT, EFT)while remaining relational and culturally attuned. I focus on interrupting the cycle, not just managing symptoms.

If your child or teen feels overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, or misunderstood, you are not alone. Maybe they struggle with big emotions, perfectionism, attention challenges, social stress, or shutting down when things feel too hard. You might notice anger, withdrawal, low confidence, or constant self-criticism. They want to feel calmer, more confident, & better able to handle school, friendships, and family life without feeling like something is wrong with them.

Do you feel like you’re constantly fighting thoughts of self-doubt and criticism? Your inner critic is constantly patrolling your thoughts and actions, replaying memories, and ruminating on mistakes. Our inner critics arise in times we don’t have the resources to cope with what is happening around us. Even while friends, family, and colleagues may offer words of encouragement and praise, your inner critic remains loud. I work with folks who want to redefine this experience and untether from the weight of self-judgment, shame, and inner conflict.

We live in an epidemic of loneliness - which heavily impacts the quality of our living and can put considerable pressures on our connections. I am passionate about working with people searching - for meaning, growth, skills, and understanding. Therapy can be a powerful way to explore what you really want for your life and integrate those longings into change. Whether relational or individual counseling, I love facilitating reflection, communication, and clarity. Collaboratively we can guide you to identifying the life, relationships, boundaries, and purpose you deserve.

The way I work with clients reflects what I would want for myself if I were in the other chair. You won’t get canned responses or clinical language that feels hollow. I’m not here to act like a blank slate—I’m a human working with another human. My goal is to create a space that’s real, warm, and grounded in genuine connection. If I see you stuck in patterns that are hurting you, I’ll call it out—with compassion, not judgment. I won’t sugarcoat things, but I also won’t leave you alone in them. My intention is always to help you pause, reflect, and consider a different path—one that feels more aligned with who you are.

I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, grief, and working with LGBTQ+ clients. My approach is grounded in a weight-inclusive, fat-positive lens, and I believe bodies are not problems to be solved.
I support clients navigating anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, and the impact of living in systems that weren’t built with them in mind. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or disconnection from themselves, and are looking for a more sustainable way forward.

If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, wants to be with you in the good and the hard, and can adjust between being gentle and direct, I'm your person.

I will hold space in your life for your grief, joy, and the challenges of life, incorporating humor/laughter, and having someone who will hold hope for you when it's hard to do so for yourself. Through it all, we can process the hard things and work on skills to increase your confidence.

I focus on techniques rooted in mindfulness, physical processing, owning and narrating experiences, and facing parts that may be overlooked. Experience-based processing and learning are paramount to the human experience, and I use them in my therapeutic practice to go beyond traditional talk therapy. As an artist and former art teacher, I have witnessed art change a person's perspective countless times, and I will always find ways to bring art into my work. I also believe that plants, nature, and animals are our greatest teachers, and I use gardening and nature to provide a physical playground for somatic and body processing.
