About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like things just aren't the way they used to be? We will work together to customize therapy for your needs combining evidence-based treatment with a warm and validating environment. I work with individuals and couples who are looking to strengthen their relationships or looking to work on anxiety, grief, depression, or trauma that is impacting their lives. I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed therapist. I earned my MSW from University of Denver with an emphasis in mental health in 2017. My background includes providing counseling in schools, a grief counseling center, and at a Tribe. I am currently in school to become a sex therapist at the University of Michigan. I have specialized trauma training in EMDR and Level 1 and Level 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I operate through an all-inclusive lens, utilizing evidence-based practices from a person-centered, strength-based, LGBTQIA+ affirmative and trauma-informed perspective.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We can all feel a little overwhelmed when we experience a personal life hurdle. At times, having someone to listen and provide a non-judgmental space that promotes self-reflection, stability, and growth is extremely empowering. Life can feel amplified and invigorated if we can show compassion to ourselves, recognize our strengths or within our relationships, and make positive changes in ourselves and relationships. I love helping others and I utilize a collaborative holistic approach that incorporates trauma focused evidence based interventions.
