Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming. I integrate Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help you move beyond overthinking, people-pleasing, and relationship anxiety. Together, we'll build self-trust, regulate your nervous system, and create lasting change so you can feel more grounded and authentically yourself.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
We'll begin by exploring what matters most to you and identifying the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Whether your goal is reducing anxiety, building healthier boundaries, improving relationships, or feeling more confident in yourself, we'll create a personalized plan that fits your values, strengths, and pace. I see goal setting as a collaborative process that evolves as you grow.

Education
Adams State University, Master of Arts, Clinical Mental Health, 2019 — I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, trauma-informed care. During my graduate training, I gained experience across inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings, which shaped my collaborative and integrative approach to therapy. Today, I integrate Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches to help clients create lasting change.
Colorado State University-Pueblo, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, 2016 — I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Colorado State University Pueblo, where I built a strong foundation in human development, psychological research, and counseling theory. My undergraduate education sparked my passion for understanding human behavior and ultimately led me to pursue a career as a licensed mental health counselor.
Work HistoryI've been supporting clients in the mental health field since 2018, with experience across inpatient, residential, outpatient, and private practice settings. Those experiences taught me how to meet people with compassion during life's most difficult moments while helping them create meaningful, lasting change. Today, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adults navigating relationship anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, identity exploration, and self-trust through an affirming, evidence-based, and nervous system-informed approach.
