Biography

My approach is culturally aware, trauma informed, and client centered. I will work closely with my clients to ensure that the treatment approach and plan is thoughtful and matches what the client may need. I have primarily focused my clinical practice working with individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault, trauma from medical or physical health problems, substance use, and other forms of trauma. I have extended training in EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, developmental trauma, suicidality, and trauma informed care. I will encourage you to increase your awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present and to increase your personal sense of freedom and well-being. I hope to work with you to empower you and help you recognize your own strengths, with compassion for both yourself and for others.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in clinical practice for over 10 years. I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work at Colorado State University-Pueblo and my master's degree in social work from Newman University. I identify as a lifelong learner and incorporate that into my treatment approaches. Along with my clinical work, I teach undergraduate and graduate students of Social Work at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, because I value being able to work in my local communities to educate and teach.

After the first session, I concentrate on what complications exist to the client's objectives and how the client can utilize supportive tools and resources to help overcome these barriers. I then help clients establish weekly, smaller goals that can lead them to their larger-scale aspirations.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are.
