I am a pre-licensed professional and completed my Masters of Art's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University. I have a foundation in mindfulness and meditation techniques, and I employ elements of art therapy and Gestalt therapy while utilizing a Transpersonal lens. In my therapy practice, I seek to encourage each individual on their unique journey towards wellness. I am also a passionate member and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.
I work with individual adults, couples and teenagers, with a specialized focus on working with LGBTQ+ clients and individuals undergoing gender questioning or transition. I also enjoy working with clients struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and individuals who are searching for spiritual meaning or spiritual awakening.
I currently see clients in my office and via telehealth through Catalyst Mental Health. More information about myself and Catalyst can be found by clicking on the "website" link on the left-hand side of this page. The extension for my confidential voicemail at Catalyst Mental Health is extension 753.
