There is a powerful connection between emotional wellbeing and behavioral change; I strive to create a balance where both can be nurtured and understood. I believe in establishing a safe space where you can better understand your values, your own unique set of strengths and challenges, and recognition of your thought and behavioral patterns that align to your values. I strive for a collaborative relationship where you can both set and attain goals and work towards creating increased fulfillment in your life. I am responsive, timely, and look forward to supporting your journey towards understanding, growth, and healing!

I am experienced in providing nervous system regulation and executive functioning skills for neurodivergent individuals. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Exposure-Response Prevention (ERP) for deeper understanding and emotional support, in addition to creating a motivating space for behavioral change.

For counseling services, I am licensed in CO, IA, IL, IN, FL, and OH. Within services, clients can receive access to the listening therapy Safe and Sound Protocol to enhance therapeutic process and increase nervous system regulation. I work in a traditional office setting and telehealth to best help you succeed in the most therapeutic environment for you.
