When focus slips, energy fades, or your mood becomes hard to manage, even the simplest tasks can feel like uphill battles. Maybe you’re trying your best to keep it together, but persistent anxiety, depression, or ADHD keeps pulling you off course. It’s easy to start questioning your capacity—and to wonder if things will ever feel steady again. You’re not broken or failing. These struggles are real, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
I am endlessly inspired by the individuals I get to work with, and I believe in the power of resiliency to create lasting change. My approach is strengths-based, focusing on each person’s unique journey and helping them harness their inner strengths to overcome life’s challenges. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported as we work together toward healing and growth.
Having spent over two decades as a Social Worker in the Colorado Child Welfare and Adult Protective Services Systems, I've dedicated my career to serving others. For the past ten years, I've focused exclusively on mental health in various settings, including acute psychiatric/medical hospitals and community-based mental health programs. My approach is grounded in strength-based principles, and I integrate evidence-based trauma treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR therapy into my practice.
I've dedicated my career to providing therapeutic interventions across the lifespan. My journey began with a Master's degree from Syracuse University, followed by a decade in community mental health in Northern NY.
I arrive to each session with authenticity and curiosity—psychological growth is a deep passion of mine that is integrated into all areas of my life. I integrate elements from various therapy frameworks, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. My work spans diverse communities, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and individuals from various economic backgrounds.
Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can feel daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma and life's challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. My therapy approach is Strength-Based, focused on building resilience and empowering you to face difficulties head-on.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in working with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges, from depression and anxiety to trauma and relationship issues.
I am naturally a good listener and find it incredibly rewarding to help others navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they work toward meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build on strengths to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My passion for mental health stems from a deep desire to provide others with the support they need during difficult times. So many individuals face life’s challenges without the necessary skills or resources, and I am committed to helping them find hope and healing. My clients inspire me every day, and witnessing their progress, no matter how small, fuels my dedication to this work.
I am passionate about helping families and children find hope and healing through therapy. My focus on Marriage & Family Therapy and Play Therapy stems from a belief that small, achievable, and consistent interventions can create profound change. I strive to provide a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals and families can work together to build stronger connections and improve their lives.
You’ve been trying to push through, hoping things will get better with time—but deep down, the weight of anxiety, depression, or substance use feels like it’s pulling you under. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns, unsure how to move forward even though you want things to be different. Therapy is a place where change doesn’t have to feel so lonely. Together, we can work on building the kind of steady, supportive foundation that makes growth possible—even when the process feels hard.
How it Works
Life is complicated enough. Finding help shouldn't be.
