I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with clients in community mental health and private practice. In both, I have provided my client's with tools to overcome life challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, along with self-esteem and relationship struggles. I have a passion for both education and counseling for purposeful healing. Together, my passions help my clients overcome past and present experiences and assist with their transformation into successful, empowered, and healthy individuals.

Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust and safety. My approach is client-centered and strength-based with a focus on the therapeutic alliance as the basis of change. I utilize an eclectic array of techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Therapy enables a person to achieve their greatest potential while identifying their strengths and areas of growth. Allow me to be a part of your journey as you push through discomfort and emotional pain while recognizing negative, self-defeating patterns to build self-awareness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

I’m so glad you’re here. Navigating through adulthood comes with unique obstacles, especially in an era that we are saturated with social media, which keeps us connected, yet simultaneously challenges authentic connection.

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.

Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.
