My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection: with ourselves, others, and the systems we move through. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from the University of Denver and a dual Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Psychology from the University of Kansas. Journalism and Psychology merged well for me as I love learning about people’s stories, and love helping them find resilience.

It can feel isolating and, at times, even shameful to face challenges in our life and in our relationships. My goal is to create a space that shifts away from self-blame and towards self-compassion. I view each person as the expert of their own story, and believe in the power of a collaborative approach that empowers clients to feel confident and live authentically. I utilize EMDR therapy as well as integrating elements of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems therapy, emotion-focused therapy, strengths-based practice, and trauma-informed care. I aim to create a space that feels safe and meaningful to clients where they can connect with their own inner wisdom.

I specialize in working with individuals and families dealing with complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, autism, family and parenting challenges, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also have experience working with families navigating the legal system and the impact this has on self-esteem, safety, and relational dynamics.
