I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Denver, CO who works with individuals and couples on issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, infidelity, and divorce recovery. As a therapist, I believe that change happens when we take ownership of our thoughts, feelings, and actions and choose to do something different. I believe that by approaching our pain with honesty, humor, and honor, we can take control over them without allowing them to define us. I want to help you find the tools and learn the skills you need to face your struggles. I want to help you find your place in your challenges so that you can walk through them with courage, power, and wisdom.

Hello, I am excited that you are considering me to come alongside you during your counseling experience. I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 3 years. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from West Texas A&M Univeristy in 2008 and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2013. I have experience working with adolescents and families navigating the criminal justice system. I have also received specialized training in trauma focused modalities to include EMDR and TF-CBT. My primary therapy approach is CBT, but I find other modalities such as Solution Focused, Functional Family Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to be equally effective with different clients. Regardless of treatment modality, I believe the effectiveness of a client-therapist relationship is grounded in the ability for trust to thrive. The ability to listen and to process the exact concern of the client allows me as the clinician to offer an effective treatment. It has been my experience as a therapist, as well as a client, that most of us can identify an appropriate solution for our current situation, once we ascertain the exact problem we are facing. Generally we are often too close or to enmeshed in the situation to maintain an objective perspective. As a clinician, I believe the ability to help facilitate the discovery of a more rational perspective is perhaps the most critical and beneficial service I can provide to you as my client. Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m a therapist with six years of experience working with trauma-related concerns across multiple levels of care, including inpatient, acute, and outpatient settings. I support individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and difficult relationship patterns. Many of the people I work with are highly capable on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected internally. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in both compassion and practical tools. I incorporate somatic and nervous-system–focused work alongside evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, attachment-based therapy, and parts-oriented perspectives. Together, we work to understand patterns, reduce shame, build emotional regulation skills, and help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself. I aim to create a space where you can slow down, be honest about what you’re experiencing, and feel supported as you move toward meaningful change. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy—just a willingness to begin.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive, respectful, and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to develop the tools needed to navigate life’s difficulties. My specialty focuses on working with adults who are experiencing the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of the clients I work with struggle with issues such as abandonment wounds, rejection, low self-worth, shame, emotional neglect, and difficulty trusting others. These early experiences can also show up later in life as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, fear of vulnerability, difficulty setting boundaries, and patterns of seeking validation from others. In therapy, we work together to understand how these early experiences may still be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier ways of responding and relating to yourself and others. I also focus on men’s mental health. Many men carry emotional pain silently due to cultural expectations around strength, independence, and self-reliance. I provide a space where men can openly explore challenges such as emotional disconnection, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, stress, and the pressure to perform or provide. My goal is to help men reconnect with their emotional lives, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger relationships. My background also includes working with individuals recovering from addiction and those rebuilding their lives after difficult life circumstances. Because of this experience, I approach therapy with a strong belief in resilience and the human capacity for growth and healing. Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and building practical skills that support long-term well-being and healthier relationships.
