Finding the right therapist to assist you can be an exhausting process and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community as I identify as an LGBTQIA2S+ individual myself.
I have over 16 years of experience as a clinician and consider myself a liberation-focused therapist. I utilize a combination of several therapeutic orientations including systems theory, IFS-informed, queer/feminist theory, person-centered, CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, somatic-based, and mindfulness-based techniques. I also provide CBT for insomnia (CBT-I).
I offer virtual clinical supervision services towards licensure at $130/supervision hour. This service will be offered to LCSW and LPC candidates anywhere in Colorado, with consideration for other disciplines as well. I am passionate about helping to grow the next generation of clinicians to be affirming, well-informed, and compassionate providers.

I specialize in working with the Queer community, our allies, and those who have, unfortunately, had poor past experiences with therapy. My overall approach to therapy is to 1. Treat mental health issues like physical health issues (because that's what they are!) and 2. To keep my ego out of it so I can provide individualized care and assist you with what YOU identify as your primary goals.
