About Me

Healing asks for a different kind of bravery: the willingness to feel, to remember, to grieve, and to grow. It takes courage to reach out and get started. 

I’d be honoured to help you along your journey.

My aim within the very first session of working together is to get you feeling better and optimistic about what's to come. 

We cut through the noise and get straight to the root cause of why you’re feeling stuck, of why the stress seems to be overwhelming.

By helping you to let go of those inner battles, you can gain a completely new perspective on life. The better you feel, the more action you can take, the more confidence you feel in an upwards spiral.

But it all starts with taking that first step.

My style is collaborative, holistic, and relational. I believe in meeting you with compassion and also helping you gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you.

I don’t believe you are broken. I believe your nervous system adapted in intelligent ways to survive. Together, we make sense of those adaptations and help your system learn something new.

Healing can feel vulnerable. At times it can even feel deeply uncomfortable, but it should never feel shaming or rushed. We move at a pace that honors both the desire for healing as well as safety.

First, we’ll have our consultation call to determine if we are the right fit to work together. I’ll ask you about why you’ve chosen to reach out at this time, what your challenges are, and what your goals are for therapy.

From there we'll have our first session, in which we’ll dive in and understand what’s making you feel stuck. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals. We can start doing deeper work right from the start or get you comfortable with the process first. We will collaborate as we go. Some say they feel some relief after just the first session.

You may have some idea of why these feelings are occurring but not know how to feel better. 

Discussing and processing can happen alongside each other, not separately, with the overall goal to find clarity, regulation, understanding, and emotional release.

Does it take work? Absolutely.

Is it worth it? Yes, it can be one of the best investments you ever make in yourself.

In our work together, we gently untangle what feels chaotic. We identify the roots beneath the symptoms. We create safety in your body before asking it to revisit what felt unsafe. This is done using somatic-focused, trauma-informed parts work, bilateral stimulation, and EMDR

Many clients describe the process as finally taking a full breath or feeling a weight lift that they didn’t realize they had been carrying.

My career in therapy.

I started my therapy career working in an inpatient hospital. I’ve worked in a jail-based setting with men, a women’s clinic, and a nonprofit focusing on food access. I realized fairly early on that I wanted to help others but I wasn’t sure in what capacity. I’ve found private practice work to be the most healing setting to help guide people back to themselves. Therapy is deeply meaningful work to me. I’ve seen how transformative safe, attuned relationships can be, and I feel honored to offer that space to others.

I work with individuals navigating complex trauma, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, and the lingering impact of childhood experiences. Many of the people who sit across from me are insightful, capable, and high-functioning, yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath years of coping and survival.

I am licensed in Colorado and North Carolina as an LCSW. I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s of Social Work.

Outside of work, I’ll be outside in nature. I’ll spend time with my partner and cats. I’ll be moving my body in some way. I’ll listen to live music when I can.

It might feel like your body and mind are against you, I've been there as well. But if you’ve read over this, if you’ve resonated with what's here, then I’d highly recommend you reach out for therapy. 

You might’ve been surviving for so long that it’s hard to take that first step. Now is the time to take care of yourself and put yourself first. Therapy can be an incredible space of healing if you’re ready, and I'd be happy to help you through it.

You can book a time to chat with me below and I can’t wait to start working with you.
