Empowering You to Achieve Happiness

Hello and Welcome; I am glad you are here. If you’re seeing this, there is a chance you’ve been struggling with the weight of some heavy emotions and have decided to start the brave and vulnerable process of asking for help. Let’s face it, asking for help can be scary and challenging, but I believe making the choice to do our own healing work is one of the bravest things a person can do. I am here to tell you that you are not alone and healing is possible!

As a therapist, I believe increasing the inner connection to ourselves allows us to process and heal current and past trauma, as well as allows us to learn to regulate and process difficult emotions in healthier ways. My passion lies in working with individuals who want to live more open, engaged, and fulfilled lives by supporting them in pursuing the life they have always wanted. I walk alongside my clients as they face challenging emotions, such as shame, fear, and other deep seeded emotional responses from a place of grace and support.

In my practice, I utilize a trauma-informed, wholeness model of therapy by focusing on calming both the mind and the body through the use of somatic, attachment, and IFS techniques. I specialize in working with anxiety and trauma and have a considerable amount of experience working with substance abuse concerns. In addition, I specialize in working with the adolescent population, focusing on a wide range of challenges unique to them, as well as specialize in working with our first responder and military populations and their families. I am also Board Certified in Neurofeedback and often utilize this service as an adjunct to individual sessions to

help my clients further explore and process trauma, as well as to manage challenging mental health symptoms.

In 2020, I graduated from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Graduate Program at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. I became a Licensed Addictions Counselor in 2021, a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2022, and in 2023, I became board certified in Neurofeedback. I have also completed trainings in Cognitive Skills, Moral Reconation Training, (MRT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, (DBT).

In my free time, I love to be outside hiking and exploring our beautiful state with my husband Ryan, and our two dogs, Denver and Kai. I am a secret history nerd and love reading historical fiction. I was born and raised in Minnesota and therefore, LOVE the water. You can often find me paddle boarding in the mountains over the summer. I am so excited to meet you and begin the process of healing!
