About My Clients
I am well-versed in a wide range of practice areas, including acute and complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, attachment issues, and various interpersonal problems and life stressors.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Social Worker practicing therapy in Fort Collins, Colorado. I achieved both my BSW and MSW from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I also received a Graduate Certificate in Trauma Treatment there. I have seen success with my clients through many evidence-based therapeutic interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Additionally, I love to bring other practices into my sessions like mindfulness and meditation when the client feels comfortable doing so. Even with all these modalities, I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful tools to use in therapy. Offering you a safe, warm, non-judgmental space with another human is my primary focus.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In times of hardship, we need a safe space to explore our struggles, feel accepted, and heal. While struggle is a natural part of life, sometimes it can overwhelm us. Maybe you’re finding yourself overcome with worry. Perhaps you’re struggling with negative beliefs about yourself or the world. Maybe something traumatic happened, and you are trying to move forward. Maybe you’re feeling sad or empty, stuck in a darkness. Or maybe you just need support to deal with all of life’s stresses. I’m here to navigate those struggles with you. Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve happiness, peace, and healing. To feel whole and well. I believe in meeting people where they are with a warm, empathetic counseling style. I view everyone through a strengths-based perspective, not as a list of symptoms, to develop individualized, holistic treatment. I would feel privileged to partner with you, or your teen, as a gentle guide on your path.
