I received a bachelor’s degree in psychology and completed a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Adams State University. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience with trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, health issues, body dysmorphia, divorce, loss, and raising children. I approach these topics in a biopsychosocial fashion. This has allowed me to get to the root of many issues using a multidimensional aim that targets the emotional, psychological, physiological, and spiritual aspects of human health and behavior. I believe that one greatly affects the other and that balance is needed in all domains to lead to mental, physical, and emotional health.

I will help you identify underlying issues and concerns while also being in the present and helping to confront unresolved emotions and memories. I try to pinpoint your values so that we can work together to align your life with what matters most to you. I wish to provide a safe space for you to express what you need as we explore underlying narratives, belief systems, worldviews, behavioral patterns, and emotional blocks that you made need to process through.

I use an existential theoretical foundation with elements of Gestalt therapy, ACT, CBT, Narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and compassion-focused therapy to assist you with relationship difficulties, addictions, traumas, depression, anxiety, OCD, body dysmorphia, loss and grief, divorce, abuse, children, and much more.
