Greetings! I’m your compassionate guide to a more enriched life. I specialize in helping individuals explore and address emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns that may be hindering them from experiencing life to the fullest.

Picture me as your personal detective, here to help you put puzzle pieces together and make sense of the bigger, brighter picture. My approach is systemic, considering all aspects of your life to understand your role in your systems. I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool for tackling symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and OCD, among others.

I foster a non-judgmental, relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourself. We can even incorporate creativity into our sessions—whether it’s painting, drawing, or beading—because it’s not about being “good” at art; it’s about expressing yourself through a different lens.

With experience working with diverse age groups and demographics, including children, individuals, couples, and families, I bring a collaborative approach to our sessions. I’ve also worked extensively with military and military-affiliated populations.

I’m here to assist with various challenges, including anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma (PTSD and CPTSD), sexuality, identity, and psychosis. Think of me as the bus driver; you tell me where we’re going, and I might suggest alternative routes you haven’t considered.

Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, turning challenges into opportunities for personal growth. Your pursuit of a more enriched life starts right here.

Born and raised in Northern Kentucky. I have been living in Colorado since 2016. I am married with one child, but a stepparent to two more. I enjoy being active and my happy place is a CrossFit gym or just being outside in general. I graduated with a Master in Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2021 from Regis University in Denver.
