I believe in the power of telling and owning our stories. We all have different experiences that shape the way we view our lives, others, and the world around us. My heart is for people and giving them the space to safely share their story and process through the experiences they have, both joyous and difficult. As a counselor, I believe in supporting, encouraging, empowering, and motivating my clients to make the changes they want to make while continuing to grow in their development of who they are as a whole-hearted person. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, couples, and individuals experiencing any sort of grief or loss transition. If you are looking for someone to support you and navigate through this growth and development, I am here to walk alongside you and empower you on this journey. I believe in a Person-Centered approach that utilizes both Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to set goals and work towards achieving them. I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado with a Masters Degree in Counseling. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist with anxiety, depression, and PTSD therapy. I am here to help you find hope for your future and the support you need now to live a whole-hearted life and find healing.

Life can get really messy at times. Whether it's apparent to our families or something we silently struggle with internally, we can't always handle it alone. That's where I come in. I'm here to provide support and facilitate positive change, especially when that huge list of things you have already tried haven't done the trick. You are the expert on your life, but sometimes it helps to get a non-biased, outside perspective to look at issues or roadblocks in a new way. We build your treatment plan and goals together based on what you want, and make adjustments along the way as necessary. I have experience working with individuals and families of all ages. I truly enjoy working with teens, couples, and families experiencing behavioral or communication issues; as well as teens or adults experiencing substance use issues. My time working in a school for autism, a residential facility for traumatized youth and families, as well as an adult rehabilitation center have given me a broad spectrum of skills to build on. I love what I do and am very committed to providing a genuine and honest experience for my clients. I look forward to working with you!

My focus is helping parents, children, and families function cohesively by promoting healthy, meaningful and enriching relationships with each other. I place a strong value on the bond between children and their parents. As your counselor I will help your child grow by working through developmental tasks and important milestones. I utilize creative interventions including play therapy, sand tray therapy, and art therapy. I collaborate closely with parents to ensure that the work done in session is reflected in the home as well. Along with my training, my practice is guided by my personal experience. I was part of a family system that was faced with a sibling’s unresolved mental health needs. Communication was difficult and we lacked a sense of direction. From that point on, I found that my passion was helping children and parents with communication, attachment, emotional, or behavioral needs.

I believe that every individual has a life story that is constantly changing and evolving based on their experiences and choices. I believe that each individual deserves a safe place to tell their story, process life events, and work towards living their best life. I enjoy collaborating with individuals, couples, and families to establish goals and take steps to living meaningful lives. I have worked in a variety of settings with children and families experiencing trauma. I have a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counseling Candidate in the state of Colorado. I look forward to meeting you!

It takes courage to decide that you want to talk to someone and I am grateful for the opportunity to be that someone. For many, the choice to begin therapy can be combined with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. I believe that every person has the inner strength to make adjustments in their life, including you, but no one said those adjustments had to be made alone. Our sessions together will be an open dialogue, appearing more like a conversation rather than a series of questions. As your therapist, I will listen to you and seek to understand your unique set of circumstances without judgement. Whether seeing an individual, a couple or a family, my therapy room will be a safe, supportive environment to express yourself and work on obtaining the positive desires you hold and releasing the negative attributes you no longer want.

I enjoy working with all clients that come into my therapy room, but I have found that my particular communication style lends itself very well to adolescents and young adults. Those in this age range face a lot of growth and change in a very short amount of time, and I am pleased to help them identify their strength, autonomy, independence, and positive self-esteem. In addition to working with this age range, I work well with the parents and families of my clients. It isn’t always easy to support an individual who isn’t sure what they need from you, and my goal is to work with the entire family dynamic to improve communication and understanding.

Has there ever been a time when you were afraid to do something, but you did it anyway, and it turned out okay? Sometimes life can be unjust and unfair, even painful or discouraging and the ability to move past those struggles may seem impossible at the time. These emotional, psychological, or interpersonal conflicts can get in the way of living a more full, productive, and satisfying life. As a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend who has overcome many of my own adversities and personal challenges, I have developed a passion for helping people become more grounded and develop trust in themselves in order to find meaning and create the life they want to have. I believe each person is one of a kind and therapy is a collaborative and interactive process. I consider it a privilege to share in my clients’ unique stories and work together to identify goals that will promote balance and improve overall well-being. I want to help my clients learn to manage intense emotions, develop purposeful connections, create mutual understanding and improve communication or resolve existing conflicts. You are the author of your life; it is my goal to facilitate conversations that can lead to positive change. I look forward to working with you.

In this moment, you are taking the courageous step to reclaim a sense of well-being. Taking time to focus on yourself and your relationships is an easily forgotten task as you jump the hurdles of your day-to-day life. I believe this leads to patterns in our lives we are not satisfied with, which can impact the way we communicate with ourselves and with our loved ones. It is not always easy to identify or change these patterns, but by looking at your strengths and working through the pain, it is possible. Therefore, it is my goal to meet you where you are at today; to listen without judgement and to greet you with compassion. Together we will focus on developing goals that help you reclaim your sense of self. I look forward to working with individuals, couples, and families.

We all have a story and that story matters. I provide a judgment free, all-inclusive, safe space for couples and individuals to reclaim connection, meaning, and fullness. My approach is person centered emphasizing my belief in unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and empathy. It is my hope to sit alongside you as you engage your story and emotions to create substantive, significant shifts in your heart and changes in your life. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help you find healing and growth. It is an honor to share in your story, and I appreciate your courage and vulnerability in taking this step for your well-being. While interning at Denver Counseling Solutions, I am completing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and pursuing further certification in sex therapy.

We encounter many seasons throughout life and many of us need help navigating the various experiences and feelings we face along the way. Taking the step to begin counseling is the best choice for optimal health and wellness. I am here to meet my clients where they are and assist with self awareness, healing and productive change from a place of empathy and non-judgment. We all need to feel heard and understood and I feel honored to do that for my clients. I look forward to assisting you with your health and healing.

What has happened in the past can inform the present, but it should not dictate our future. We all have the power to shape ourselves and the life around us into one that we feel comfortable and safe in. I enjoy counseling that is centered around who you are, your unique gifts, and is led by your goals for yourself and your life. I practice Solution-Focused, Gestalt, and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques with children, couples, and individuals in order to begin transformation. It is my goal to meet you with compassion, non-judgment, and provide a place where you feel comfortable sharing your story. Together, I hope we can get to a place where you feel more like your authentic self, operating from a place of peace instead of trying to get through the day. You are already taking a huge first step on your path to a healthier and more fulfilling life and that is something to be celebrated. I sincerely look forward to meeting and working with you!"

I believe that we all have the necessary tools to facilitate personal growth and overcome psychological barriers to be the best version of ourselves. We all go through trials and tribulations in life, and there is no shame in reaching out for help. I am here to guide you along the way and support you in meeting your goals. I use a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. This is to provide you with a safe and judgment free space to express your inner emotions and pressing issues. My passion is to help people find balance and become all they can be, so that they can excel in their own life passions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in areas of depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems. My counseling style also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Neuropsychology, and takes on a Holistic approach. I graduated from Florida State University with a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. in Psychology. I am currently a counseling intern working on my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University. I look forward to getting to know you and working alongside you in this process.
