Ok. To be honest, I thought about taking a picture of myself frolicking in a perfect meadow, during the perfect sunrise, with perfect hair flowing in the wind.
And then I realized that would be like posting a 20-year-old picture of me on a dating profile. You would show up and NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE ME.
Because…the truth is…I’m not perfect, I don’t frolic and I’m not flowy.
The truth is, when you work with me, I SHOW UP. I’m right there with you.
And sometimes that’s messy and sometimes that’s beautiful….but its never fake.
Me, frolicking in a meadow, is fake.
Originally from St. Louis, I moved to Colorado in 2008. I’m married with 2 wonderful, rambunctious, loving kiddos! I have an adventurous spirit that comes out not only in the way I speak, but also in the way I live and love.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people and their relationships. Being a therapist and counselor is not just a day job for me, it’s in my heart…
I LOVE WHAT I DO!
What can you expect from me? I call myself PROFESSIONALLY INFORMAL. I have a casual and encouraging approach, while also being direct and transparent…no hidden agendas here!
I’m down-to-earth and solution-focused. I create a space for you to explore, process and express yourself while also guiding you to do that in a way that creates lasting change. I’ll work with you at a pace that’s both comfortable and challenging…but not overwhelming.

I help men, women, and couples break through their blocks and realize the full potential they have within themselves. I use a holistic approach that includes Internal Family Systems Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based practices. With a nurturing and empathetic style, I provide a comfortable environment where you can express yourself and receive guidance without judgment. I take time to create a trusting relationship where I can provide insight into your challenges, fears, and limitations. We can work together towards your goals at a pace that feels good for you.
My clients tell me that my insights, gentle nudges, and playful spirit help them move forward in their lives with greater confidence and joy. I help people gain an understanding of the processes that led them to their current situation and offer mindset shifts that empower transformation.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC), I’m passionate about helping my clients explore interpersonal issues while increasing boundary-setting, self-trust, self-acceptance, and confidence in their relationships. I love working with introspective, highly sensitive clients while guiding them into their inner world to access and heal wounded parts of themselves.
In my free time, I’m passionate about spirituality , HSP and I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and strength training.

Families are a beautiful mess. We’re born into these complex systems and then based upon our interactions, we immediately start to form beliefs about how to think and feel about ourselves. Because I know that people do best when they feel connected, I’m passionate about helping people see their patterns and finding better ways to communicate, use boundaries and find joy.
I believe that therapy’s a collaborative process of discovery, insight, and growth. I have a compassionate style that’s warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I’m curious and actively engaged, using my curiosity to help you uncover what’s between the lines that you may not see on your own.
When it comes to relationships, I’m fascinated by the endless possibilities and creative ways of helping people thrive. We all heal, grow and love differently, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all model for therapy….our work together will be uniquely yours.
My favorite is helping my clients discover what’s getting in the way of feeling loved, connected and free. I use creative interventions to help support and empower people as they become more aware of their strengths, challenges, and relationship patterns. I’ve been told I have a unique ability to connect with people and get to the heart of the matter quickly.

I don’t normally tune out in session ( I promise), but the other day I found myself feeling
so lucky to be a part of my client’s healing journey. I love helping people feel at peace with who they are and navigate the complexities of life. It’s why I do what I do!
By understanding your unique struggles, fears, blocks, and barriers, I can guide you to a place of fulfillment. I work with individuals and couples to improve relationships, manage stress, overcome anxiety and depression, heal old wounds, and much more.
But it doesn’t stop there. I’m skilled at helping you see what you can’t so that you can get to the root of your struggles. This is especially helpful in my work with couples so we can heal those hurts and stop having those tired, repetitive arguments.

When things are feeling “off” in your relationship or with yourself, it’s scary to know where to turn. You may think your problems aren’t “bad enough” to need therapy, or you may feel just the opposite–that your struggles are too difficult to share. No matter what you’re going through, we all need support and guidance from time to time.
I offer a safe, professional, non-judgemental therapeutic experience while showing up as a real person-not a stuffy “clinician”. I use humor, when appropriate, and can’t promise that an occasional f-bomb might not slip out.
I’m passionate about helping my clients feel seen and supported as they navigate life’s challenges by locating/reclaiming their sense of agency in the in the world and in their own lives through nervous system regulation, mindfulness, somatic awareness, reparenting, and boundary-setting.
Helping you create a foundation of self-acceptance from which to heal, grow, and adapt in more positive, life-affirming ways is my passion. I believe you’re the expert on your life and our work together will be collaborative and tailored to your needs.
My therapeutic style is positive and help you focus on your strengths. I draw upon a variety of models in order to help you get to the root of your struggles while equipping you with practical tools for everyday life.
My approach to therapy is informed by my work with couples, and clients who have mood disorders, trauma, grief, and substance abuse struggles. My personal experiences in therapy, mental health, neurodivergence, life transitions, and grief as well as my background as a massage therapist help deepen my understanding of my clients and their suffering.

Let’s jump right into this…I’m honest to a fault. At no time will you wonder what’s on my mind and I hope, after gaining your trust, I’ll never had to have wonder what’s on yours.
Bad days, good days or in between, I welcome you to come as you are. I’m a firm believer that humor, compassion, and authenticity is the recipe for a solid therapeutic relationship.
I have a long history of working with adults, teens, couples and families in a culturally aware and safe environment. With over 20 years of experience, I understand that chaos that can ensue even within the most healthy of families and relationships. We’ll take whatever time is needed and find a way to get back on track. With you as the navigator, I’ll empower you to take control of your treatment and goal setting. I may not have all the answers, but together we can navigate the rough waters and get you to a place of stability and peace in your life.
I’m a very proud mama of two young men. As a Colorado native, I love an adventure. My favorite things to do are camp, hike, and ride motorcycles through the mountains; really I just enjoy anything outside. I also LOVE traveling abroad and expanding my perspective on the world.
Most importantly, I LOVE what I do and I look forward to meeting you for individual, family or couples therapy.

“Why is there so much laughter coming out of your office?” A colleague asked me.
Because therapy doesn’t always have to be tears and seriousness! My goal is for clients to connect with their passions and find joy in everyday life.
I have a strengths-based approach, which means I see the good in everyone that walks through my door and I will help you banish your fears and anxieties so you can let yourself shine.
I use science-backed strategies, plus a warm, genuine, and respectful approach that honors your values and believes that you can conquer anything.
I love being creative — if you love Dungeons and Dragons (or Civil War history… trains….. Kendrick Lamar…. the New York Times crossword… and so on!), don’t be surprised to find a DnD-themed activity in session.
As a neurodivergent brain myself, I love working with ADHDers. I am also passionate about healing trauma, depression, and anxiety (which often come kit and caboodle with ADHD). I combine practical coaching strategies with therapy so you can finally relax and love your brain.

Ok, so here’s the thing…what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. And, so often in therapy, we only ever touch the things we see. This leaves people feeling hopeless about moving past their struggles.
I’ve made it my life’s mission to get to the root of my client’s struggles…to help people see, and heal, the things they can’t. I do this by integrating therapy, or marriage counseling, with neurofeedback therapy. This results in long-term change in all those thoughts and behaviors that are weighing you down.
So, what’s it like to work with me? I have an easy, comfortable style. I create a space for clients to honestly explore themselves while also trusting that there’s an organized plan for healing your heart and improving your brain.
My style is uniquely mine…no cookie cutter approach here. You can expect me to bring my whole self into every session with authenticity and creativity as I support you on your journey to self love.
Though I love working with all people (well…most people), I’ve had extremely positive outcomes with people struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, TBIs and survivors of human trafficking.
