Have you ever felt anxious or down, and you’re not sure where to turn to next? By considering the idea of therapy, you’ve already taken the first step. I became a therapist because I know how meaningful it is to have a safe space where you can explore your feelings, a place that’s completely dedicated to you. I believe in meeting people where they are at, and using your own values as a guide to living the most fulfilling life for you. A life where you can show up authentically, and navigate your mental health struggles and relationships with confidence.

My clients deal with so much speed and stress. They are navigating a life that feels increasingly unfulfilled, or feel stuck. They often seek solace in external solutions like too much work, toxic relationships, or substances, and find all these lacking. They face the challenge of pausing to understand and meet their internal needs, which feels paradoxical. How to slow down when there's all this to do? This leads to more stress, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction with life. There is a way through all this.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and am working on finishing my requirements to be a Licensed Addiction Counselor as well. I joined the JFS Boulder team October 2023. Prior to this, I have worked in hospital settings providing inpatient psychotherapy and psychiatric evaluations. I have also spent time providing school-based psychotherapy as part of a grant funded program. I am originally from Illinois, but after moving to Denver for graduate school have been proud to call Colorado home for over 4 years now. I completed my master’s degree in forensic psychology in 2021 at DU.

My training for my doctorate was in child and family clinical practice and I obtained post-doctoral training in forensic psychology. I also received over 300 hour of training at the Neurosculpting Institute. In addition to my clinical and forensic practice, I have provided consultation services in such settings as Head Start, Federal Corrections, and Child Protection Services and for agencies serving the developmentally disabled. A large part of my practice has always included providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have been married for over 30 years and have seven children.

I have been passionate about psychology and helping others for as long as I can remember. One of my early passions became to destigmatize mental health care. Mental health is just as important as physical health. I work with a variety of individuals working to live happier and healthier lives by overcoming many different issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, and more. Through my own personal experience, I know beginning the therapy journey can feel a bit daunting, however I am here to help create a safe and collaborative space where you are comfortable.

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves and to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I believe identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems. Email please if interested. I work Tuesdays thru Saturdays.

When providing therapy, my goal is for us to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship in which our work together leads to you living a life with increased meaning and fulfillment. This can involve navigating through barriers such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, problematic/compulsive behaviors, lack of direction, etc. Often this includes identifying barriers, personal values that really matter, stories we tell ourselves that are no longer serving helpful purposes, deepening understandings of ourselves and relationships, and implementing strategies that improve quality of life.
