I believe that we are all striving to be our best selves, even when it seems like we’re stuck in life, or causing ourselves or others pain. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, as well as the belief that forming a collaborative and trusting relationship is the foundation for any good treatment. Understanding together the reasons and context for why you engage in a particular behavior or feel a certain way can help begin to move you towards the ability to change. I also believe having a space where therapist and patient work together to hold the painful emotions we all carry around with us can be powerfully healing over time. I often tell my patients that therapy should be a space where you can develop a sense of freedom to speak about whatever is on your mind or in your heart. The therapy space is here for us to work together no matter what we talk about to help you heal and discover yourself.
I ground my treatment approach in several psychological theories, but most foundationally I operate from a self psychological treatment perspective. I find this theory speaks to my belief that we all are striving towards health in the best way we know how. Sometimes we just need some help and understanding to discover a better way of reaching the health and life we hope to achieve.
I earned my Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver in 2017, and my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver in 2014.

My approach to therapy can be described as empathic, growth promoting, and empowering. I believe the key to moving past difficulties in your life involves developing greater awareness, understanding, and compassion for yourself in a safe and affirming space. I help clients to develop their self-awareness and compassion by offering understanding and support while also gently challenging them to move towards health and wellbeing. Developing a greater understanding of yourself, such as around your emotions, your relationships, and how your past experiences impact you, can help to reduce your distress and give you the power to change your life in the present.
My work can also be described as strengths-based and collaborative. We will build on your strengths and work together to find and begin removing the obstacles that prevent you from being your healthiest, happiest self. I see us as doing “detective work” together in which we get to be curious, playful, and even laugh when the moment calls for it as we work towards your happiness and wellbeing.
I specialize in individual therapy with adults and have a particular interest in working with students. My areas of specialty include long-term therapy, relationship issues, family of origin issues, relational trauma, transitional issues, identity issues, LGBTQ+ issues, depression, anxiety, and women’s issues.

Cultivating a safe and affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and identities is of utmost importance to me, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I am dedicated to creating a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to embark on your journey towards healing and growth.In my therapy approach, I draw from a diverse toolkit of person-centered therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic techniques, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), feminist theories, and Multicultural Orientation (MCO). My areas of focus include navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), women’s mental health, and providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy. As I work towards obtaining my degree and licensure, I bring a wealth of enthusiasm and commitment to supporting individuals through their journey of self-discovery and healing. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration, humor, empowerment, and empathy. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to explore challenges, foster growth, and create positive and empowering change.
I am a passionate and dedicated master’s student at the University of Denver, specializing in Counseling Psychology. I received my bachelors in psychology and anthropology from the University of Florida in 2021.
