About

I am interested in you and the stories you have to share.

I know first-hand that it’s not always easy to share your stories with someone. Sometimes it can take some help to understand what you’ve experienced and how to move forward in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and understood. It can be scary and hard, but when you do, it can feel like a weight has been lifted.

Since 2015, I have been providing individual counseling and group support for children, adolescents, and adults. My experience has led me to be competent in working with many of the symptoms and challenges related to: grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and the impact of recent or past traumas. I have been told that my collaborative and accessible style helps patients feel comfortable, calm, included, and hopeful. My personal and professional experience serve as a guide for my passion in supporting people of all ages impacted by life stressors. 

I often work with adults, teenagers, and children who are new to therapy or have had a difficult time connecting with therapists in the past. 

Credentials and Specialized Skill Set 

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado and previously worked as a professional musician for 12 years. I am grateful that my skill and appreciation for deep listening has been an asset in both fields. It is an honor to support you in your healing.
