About My Clients

My focus is on guiding clients from a state of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed to a place of empowerment and stability, equipping them with the necessary skills to navigate life's complexities. I am a relationship based therapist who believes that the therapeutic relationship between client and counselor creates the foundation for growth to occur. In the comfortable, understanding, and calm space of therapy, we will embark on a healing journey and unveil your authentic self.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado as well as a National Certified Counselor. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Educational Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. I use a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailor my approach to fit your needs, personality, and goals. You are not a cookie, so a cookie-cutter approach won't be effective. I aim to understand you on a personal level and establish a meaningful connection, fostering a relationship that allows us to pinpoint the strategies that will guide you towards accomplishing your goals. I prioritize a strong therapeutic alliance, as research consistently highlights its crucial role in the effectiveness of counseling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a counselor, I believe that engaging in mental health care and individualized therapy can be a lifechanging experience. While it can be intimidating and stressful to begin the process of therapy, it is also an incredibly courageous step to take and you deserve to prioritize your health. I embrace the uniqueness of each individual, approaching counseling with an integrative method that values collaboration and acceptance of the diverse needs and perspectives of each person. This fosters a empowering journey towards healing and growth.
