I practice on behalf of children/adolescents and their families through parent-empowerment strategies.

When you walk through my door, I welcome each of you into my tribe. The innate vulnerability and humbleness of your mere presence are both respected and appreciated. In our shared space, values are rooted in empathy, awareness, accountability, and integrity.

I am an ear, a tool, a voice, and at times a guide to support you on this beautiful and winding path.

I work primarily with children who are experiencing difficulties in school, social settings and family life. Much of the training I have received has been in working with those with neuro-diversity in which I use models of self-advocacy, self-expression, and self-esteem in order to obtain growth toward client-based goals. Goals often include but are not limited to increasing awareness of emotional sensations, building coping skills, lowering symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns and increasing relationship skills.

Anxiety, insecurity, anger, and depression get in the way of success and even more than that- they get in the way of you being happy with yourself and your life. Freeing yourself of these issues gives you the opportunity to experience life in a new way that improves your life, relationships, and your performance at work/school. Therapy can help you with these issues and you can begin to enjoy life again.

Benjamin Franklin once said "Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of Mind than on the outward Circumstances". Of course, as a psychologist, I understand that the pursuit of happiness is more complicated in the 21st century than it was in the 1700's. I also know from many years in mental health that it can be difficult to have positive thoughts when you're struggling in life. The support of a professional therapist can help ground you, and assist you in finding the perseverence it will take to put up the protective lightning rod for life's stormy weather.

Because we are relational by nature, our patterns of interaction with others contribute to our experiences of happiness and our experiences of pain and disappointment. My goal is to help you strengthen your most important relationships - including your relationship with yourself.

I am originally from Virginia, trading the Blue Ridge Mountains for the Rockies when I moved here in 2020. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship and intentionally work to create an authentic and meaningful relationship with each client I meet. I practice from an emotion-focused and DBT-based lens, which means that I spend a lot of time exploring emotions and developing strategies to utilize even our most uncomfortable emotions as positive mechanisms for change. I also find it important to conceptualize therapy work through a social justice lens, naming the different ways in which power & privilege impact mental health.

You woke up again only to realize your person is gone. Just like that. They are no longer here. Is it even possible to go on without them? The ache in your chest is too much to bear. The tears either won’t stop flowing or they don’t even come. It feels like you’re stuck in a rip current. You see the shore, find some relief, and then the wave slaps you in the face and again you are being dragged under. It’s unfair. It’s gut-wrenching. It just SUCKS! Life doesn’t have the same excitement it once did, and you wonder if it ever will again.
