Work HistoryMy path to becoming a therapist brings together unique experiences that inform how I support clients today. After years working in educational technology and consulting, where I gained firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by tech professionals, I followed my passion for supporting others through their personal growth journeys. My training at Naropa University in Somatic Counseling deepened my appreciation for how mental and physical well-being are connected, leading me to pursue specialized training in body-based approaches like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Brainspotting. Through my work at Aurora Mental Health and Recovery, I developed extensive experience supporting neurodivergent teens and young adults in a clinical setting, while my time at Athlete Insight allowed me to help athletes address anxiety, trauma, sport-life balance, and performance-related challenges. At Parker Counseling Services, I had the privilege of working with active duty military personnel and veterans, providing specialized support for trauma and PTSD through evidence-based and somatic approaches. My background spans from supporting students in educational settings to working with clients in various therapeutic environments, giving me a deep understanding of how different people think and process their experiences. This blend of experiences - from tech and education to mind-body therapeutic approaches - allows me to offer practical strategies while understanding the deeper patterns that influence our well-being.
