Are you frustrated and overwhelmed with the way your life is going? Are your kids struggling and you don’t know what to do anymore? Do you wish that you felt more connected with your spouse? At times we can all feel like we have “gone off track” and it can be challenging to find your way back on your own. I am passionate about meeting people where they are to help them on the journey toward growth, wholeness, and healing. I desire to help you find the courage to ask hard questions and build resilience to accept the challenging parts of your story. My goal is to help you discover meaning, connection, authenticity, and gratitude.
I am an LPC practicing in the South Denver Metro area, and I enjoy working with individuals, children, adolescents, and couples. I work thorough a family systems lens and offer parent coaching and family sessions when appropriate. I offer group workshops and coaching to support the individual work I do. I am trained in Theraplay, EMDR, EFT, ERP, and WET.
In life, we are often faced with challenges and detours that prevent us from living the life that we truly desire. As a therapist, I desire to meet you in those spaces to help you process the reasons you got there and to help you to find a path forward that honors your past experiences while embracing the possibilities of a more fulfilling future.

Early family relationships often shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I help individuals, couples, and families identify patterns rooted in family dynamics and replace them with healthier ways of relating. Clients often experience improved relationships, clearer boundaries, increased self-awareness, and greater confidence in their choices.

I use an integrative client-centered approach drawing from a range of evidence-based interventions and tailoring them to each person's unique needs. In our first session, we'll explore your background, what's bringing you to therapy now, and what you hope to change. From there, we'll collaborate on a treatment plan that supports your goals and reflects your values, strengths, and lived experience.
