Every phase of life offers challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities for growth. I empower my clients to make the changes they feel they can’t. I take a holistic approach, incorporating the person and their environment in healing. I know how vital it is to meet you where you are in life, and will help you build your resilience from within through a person-centered approach. You may often feel alone, but I provide a safe space to walk with you through life’s obstacles.
I graduated from the University of Southern California where I trained in adult mental health and wellness. I use a variety of modalities, a strengths-based approach, and a trauma-informed lens to tailor your treatment. Together, we’ll find the best path forward to addressing your problems and conflicts. Feeling valuable — even once — can be life changing, and I know just how much we need affirmation, encouragement, and validation to be heard and understood.
We deserve time for ourselves and our stories. We deserve a chance to be vulnerable, and to know that someone is always walking alongside us. I’m passionate about helping you heal, and look forward to our journey together.
I may not always have immediate availability. If so, we’ll respond right away with some alternative therapists specialized to your needs!

A little more about me:
I’m a transplant from Ohio who has been living in Colorado for over half my life! I love being in nature, backpacking or hiking, and taking my rescue doggy for walks around the park. I enjoy all of the beauty in Colorado; hot springs are my favorite. I love reading and hanging out with my husband and kitties, they’re good reminders to be grateful for all the small things! I appreciate seeing live music and doing yoga when time allows, things I find energy and grounding in to stay present in the moment.
