Everyone has a story. I would love to hear your story and help you create a narrative for the future. Life is a constant state of growth and transition. Simply processing our life experiences and sharing our desires and goals for the future provides the connection we need to move forward and is the beginning of the healing process. As a counselor, I am here to facilitate change, offer hope, and motivate you to achieve your potential and goals. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I have a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. I have provided counseling services for over nine years in the Chicago and Denver metropolitan areas

Raise children you want by becoming the person they need. Parents come to me when their kids are acting out, have to share multiple households, or when the differences in parenting styles are taking a toll on relationships. I help translate the child’s behaviors, create an action plan, and guide parents in uncovering their own stuff so their day to day conscious choices are in line with their long-term parenting goals.

After being in the military for many years, I decided I would like to find a way to give back to my community in a more connected way. I have a passion for counseling and empowering those who are struggling with barriers in their lives that seems to be holding them back such as PTSD, trauma, anxiety, or depression. I also work with major life changes like second careers, family life alterations including divorce and “empty nesting,” and deployments and/or returns from deployment. I am client-centered and am committed to finding the processes that work best for you and your current needs. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your goals to move forward with healing as quickly as possible. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist with PTSD, anxiety, and depression therapy. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in the State of Colorado and a Registered Psychotherapist.

I believe that everyone has a story and deserves to be heard. I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and instilling hope for the future. As your counselor, I will walk beside you and listen to your experiences, providing a safe environment for you to process life events and gain greater insight into your personal experiences. I utilize a person-centered, family systems approach to therapy while also incorporating methods from other treatment modalities. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that best meets your goals and needs. I will support you throughout the process and help you to identify and meet your goals. I have a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

A lot of parents wonder, "Why is this so hard for my child?" Or, “What can I do to help my child?” The answers aren't clear, but I can help. I am a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC), specializing in working with children and their families. Kids nowadays are struggling with so many things and have a lot of pressure on them to do their best. No parent likes to see their kid hurt or struggling with things, and neither do I. My passion is to help kids who need support to find balance and live a better life. When working with kids I utilize play therapy to provide a more comfortable environment for the kid to be in. I like to be creative and have fun with my work using, art, sand tables, music, and much more.

My goal is to help empower others to build on his or her strengths in order to achieve change in a comfortable, trusting environment. I also am experienced in working with teens, adults, military men and woman, and people struggling with substance abuse. Originally from Colorado, I graduated from Gonzaga with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, while specializing in working with kids and teens utilizing play therapy. As a First Lieutenant in the United States Army and a medical officer, I come from a big, wild family and have four brothers. I love being outdoors and having fun with my family and friends. Everyone deserves a voice, let yours be heard.

Some of us are walking around in pain from hurts in the past or suffering in the present. Others of us are simply not fully alive. It is my hope to come alongside each person I work with to help them find and create the life they want. Each person has strength and potential. Everyone can lead full lives. I would love to be the person who can listen and encourage you to meet your life goals and dreams you have for your career, family, and life. I take a unique approach to each client because you have a unique story with particular needs. I can’t wait to meet you!

I believe that you’ve tried a lot of things before deciding to seek counseling and that your decision to do so already shows your desire to change things in your life and your commitment to growth. People can find themselves stuck in the ruts of life- jobs, transitional periods, family dynamics, or relationships. Sometimes it feels like you’re walking through the same routines or having the same fights over and over again. I can help you recognize these patterns, learn how to change them, and deepen the connection and intimacy in your relationships. I will collaborate with you on how to navigate these struggles and explore options best suited for your needs. I can help you by providing a space to explore emotions and past/present hurts. I am pursuing my Masters in Clinical Therapy and Marriage and Family Licensure.
