About

You don't have to keep carrying this alone. If you've found your way here, chances are you've been living in survival mode for far too long — pushing through anxiety, depression, grief, past trauma, or relationship wounds while quietly wondering when it will finally feel easier to breathe. All of these burdens can leave you feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. I help adults and teens gently untangle those layers so they can reconnect with themselves and the people who matter most. In our counseling sessions, we'll develop a plan together based on the goals you want to achieve. You decide what you need from me — whether that's being heard and validated, gathering information, learning specific skills for a particular situation, or getting feedback on something you're working through. Your therapy should feel like yours. I believe true healing comes from understanding, connection, and knowledge. That's why I focus on listening deeply and letting you share your story at your own pace. My style is warm and informal, creating a space where you can feel comfortable and accepted while maintaining clear professional boundaries. It's my honor to walk alongside you in your unique journey toward mental wellness, and I look forward to speaking with you. Specialties: I specialize in supporting clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational issues. During our first several sessions, I focus on building trust and gaining a thorough understanding of your needs so that we can build a plan together that will be most helpful in improving your mental health. I am experienced with meeting you at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Credentials & Experience: With over twenty years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to teens, adults, and families navigating crisis. I am licensed in both Colorado and Virginia, and I bring deep empathy and clinical expertise to every client I serve. My commitment is to guide each person toward lasting, meaningful change and a healthier life.

"My therapeutic approach is relational and client-focused, meaning I prioritize building a strong, trusting connection with you and centering your unique needs and goals throughout our work together. I draw on a strengths-based perspective, which means I help you identify and build upon the capabilities and resilience you already possess. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques — simple practices that help you stay grounded, present, and connected to the moment rather than overwhelmed by thoughts or emotions. When working with trauma survivors, I often integrate DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills training. DBT is an evidence-based approach that teaches practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building healthier relationships. These skills can be especially valuable for navigating trauma symptoms, creating a greater sense of safety, and providing steady support as we process difficult or overwhelming feelings together."
