About My Clients

I work with diverse individuals seeking support and growth. From children to adults, my expertise extends across different age groups, ensuring tailored care for each client. With a deep understanding of LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and a multiculturally oriented approach, I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I address the mind-body connection using somatic and mindfulness techniques, facilitating holistic healing.

My Background and Approach

I use somatic and mindfulness techniques to address the connection between the body and mind. With a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver, I have experience counseling clients across different age groups and am trained in LGBTQIA+ affirmative care and multiculturally oriented approaches. My humanistic and person-centered approach prioritizes each client's unique experiences, feelings, and perspectives. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment for us to collaboratively explore your thoughts and emotions. My trauma-informed lens ensures that you will receive the space you need to heal and integrate at a pace that is comfortable for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I will ensure that you receive the space you need to heal and integrate at your own pace. Using somatic and mindfulness techniques, I address the mind-body connection. In our collaborative work, we prioritize your experiences and perspectives, creating a safe space for exploration while respecting your autonomy. With a focus on the person first, I provide support for your healing and moving forward. Your needs are my priority, and I offer empathetic and inclusive care for your overall well-being.
