I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an EMDR Approved Consultant. Over the past 10 years, I've gained experience working with a wide range of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that works to resolve adverse life experiences and is not just for trauma! These negative experiences can have an impact of current functioning, self-image and self-esteem, and relationships. They often manifest into symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, and many other mental health issues.

Regardless of what is keeping you feeling stuck in negative emotional patterns and behaviors, there is a way out. I believe in the body and brain’s natural capacity to heal and will work alongside you to develop and utilize through resources.

My approach is individualized and collaborative to your experience and needs. I offer a non-judgmental, safe environment to explore these experience and work towards growth and healing. I bring empathy, information, respect, and humor to the therapeutic relationship

I am also trained and experienced in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family System, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg Kansas. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in the state of Colorado. I have been practicing in the field since 2008.

In my practice I use a person-centered approach, coupled with empathy and unconditional positive regard for you and your life history. I have a great deal of experience helping clients with a wide variety of challenges including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, grief associated with different types of losses including death and divorce. I also have more than 10 years of experience working with couples, assisting them in improving communication and shared goal setting.

I want to help you discover the happiest and healthy life you can.
