Life is full of transitions—some expected, others not! Whether you’re navigating a major change, facing a tough decision, or feeling stuck in old patterns, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with individuals moving through life transitions, processing grief, exploring identity, and strengthening boundaries and communication. It’s common to start therapy feeling unsure of where to begin or overwhelmed by all the change happening at once. In our work together, we’ll slow things down, bring clarity to what feels confusing, and find a path forward that feels grounded and aligned with your values.

We all have noise in our lives. My goal is to help you quiet the noise by offering solution-focused, person-centered, and cognitive approaches to therapy so that you can experience life in a more healthy and peaceful way.

"I sometimes feel like I’m unlovable and undeserving." "I find myself worrying about almost everything." "I struggle to feel good about the person I’ve become."

Together, we’ll work towards empowering you to live more authentically and align with what truly matters to you.

We live in extremely difficult times, and they were never meant to be experienced alone. Therefore, I believe my call to counseling was so that I may walk alongside individuals who feel misunderstood, confused, lost, helpless and hopeless. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my commitment to the field of serving others is displayed through my passion to support the hurting, as well as to encourage and challenge those who feel stuck. Life will never be easy, but it's the trials that makes us better people, especially when faced with a safe person by our side.

Are anxiety, trauma, or intrusive thoughts making it harder to feel present and engaged in your daily life? Maybe you’re overthinking messages and emails, replaying conversations, or working to get things “just right” in hopes of finally relaxing. Whether your struggles are loud and overwhelming or quiet and exhausting, you don’t have to navigate them alone. I work with individuals navigating PTSD, OCD, phobias, anxiety, difficulty understanding internal experiences, and long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift.

Welcome to my profile! If you’re here, you’ve already taken a tremendous step. Contemplating seeking professional help can be a daunting prospect, however, once you’ve met with a therapist you may well start feeling better already. My goal is to create the kind of environment that feels safe enough to explore whatever issue is causing you distress, and to work with you in exploring options for relieving that discomfort. I believe people come to counseling for numerous reasons, but all with the same goal, to feel better.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups around psychosocial and medical health issues. I am a Colorado and Washington State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. The psychosocial conditions I provide treatment for include: addictions/compulsions, anxiety and depression, abuse and trauma, marriage/relationship issues, health and wellness, spirituality/faith issues, identity development issues, and sexuality. I believe a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to health is the most comprehensive method of treatment.

I work best with clients who are motivated for growth - even if they’re unsure of what that looks like or where to begin. My clients are often navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity development, or unresolved trauma. I take a direct, collaborative approach and won’t just nod and listen - I ask questions, offer reflections, and challenge unhelpful patterns in a supportive way. My clients value authenticity and are looking for an inclusive, affirming space that welcomes all identities, including queer and gender-diverse individuals and couples.

It's important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, challenge you, and consider the impact of culture and identity
