Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My style is collaborative, affirming, and person-centered. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT with holistic practices such as mindfulness and grounding techniques. This allows me to meet each client’s unique needs while creating a supportive space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
We’ll start by exploring what matters most to you - whether it’s reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or gaining clarity in your identity. Together, we’ll create realistic, personalized goals and use practical tools to help you take meaningful steps forward. I see goal-setting as a collaborative and empowering process, guided by your values and strengths.

Education
Adams State University, Master of Arts, Clinical Mental Health, 2019 — I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, where my studies focused on trauma-informed care, identity development, and holistic approaches to mental health. During my graduate training, I gained experience working in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings, which shaped my integrative approach to therapy. This foundation allows me to support clients with evidence-based strategies like CBT and DBT, while also incorporating mindfulness and mind-body practices for deeper healing.
Colorado State University-Pueblo, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, 2016 — I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Colorado State University–Pueblo, where I built a strong foundation in human development, research, and counseling principles. My undergraduate studies sparked my passion for mental health, trauma recovery, and holistic care, which led me to pursue advanced training and clinical experience supporting diverse clients.”
Work HistoryI’ve been supporting clients in the mental health field since 2018, working in inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings. These experiences taught me how to meet people in their hardest moments and help them move toward healing. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and identity-related challenges. My approach combines evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community, so clients feel supported, seen, and empowered to grow.
