As an LPCC, my goal is to provide my clients with trust, honesty, autonomy, and the safety to express themselves in session. I work towards and celebrate incremental change and like to use a collaborative approach with clients to develop goals for therapy and potential challenges along the way.
As a clinician, I think a lot about thinking. I focus on how we conceive of ourselves and the world around us, how this thinking affects our daily lives and relationships, and what we can do to change the way we think. In addition to CBT, I also utilize different forms of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to provide my clients with different tools they can use outside of our sessions.
In the past I have treated clients with depression, anxiety, substance use issues, grief, and compulsive behaviors, and others just having a hard time adjusting to new life circumstances. My goal is to always treat clients with compassion, dignity and understanding while firmly believing in their ability to make changes on their own.
When I’m not at work you can find me listening to or playing music, playing in the mountains, or spending time with my dog.

As a school counselor and LPCC I bring over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents. My career began in the classroom as an elementary school teacher, where I quickly recognized the growing mental health needs of young people. This realization led me to pursue my master’s degree in counseling so I could more directly support students’ emotional and psychological well-being.

Over the past five years, I have worked closely with high school students, helping them navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, academic stress, family challenges, and the many pressures that come with adolescence. I understand how overwhelming these years can feel and strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. In private practice, I am excited to offer more individualized, one-on-one support through a person-centered lens.

I believe each person is the expert of their own story, and I am committed to walking alongside them as they build resilience, develop coping skills, and more toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from Regis University after many years in the corporate world, where I learned how heavy life can feel when we try to carry everything alone. My own therapy experience showed me the power of being met with empathy and presence, and that continues to inspire the work I do today.

Whether you are exploring your past, navigating a challenge, or simply feeling stuck, we will move at your pace and in your process. I draw from Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness and tailor each session to your unique needs.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up honestly and be met with empathy, curiosity, and zero judgment. At the core of my work is the belief that people heal when they feel seen, understood, and supported. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions. I also support clients working through shame, identity, and interpersonal patterns.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from CBT, parts work, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, while also incorporating attachment and systems perspectives. I pay close attention to how past experiences and relationships shape the way you move through the world. I value helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, and create space to notice what’s coming up internally. Together, we can explore patterns, build awareness, and develop tools that feel useful in your day-to-day life.

You already have the capacity for growth and change, and my role is to help you access it and feel supported along the way.
