Hello and welcome! I am glad that you are taking the first step towards finding support – sometimes that can be the hardest part.
I earned my Masters of Social Work from the University of Denver in Colorado and a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Denver Family Institute. I have been providing outpatient therapy in a variety of settings since 2015. I see individuals from age 10 through adulthood as well as families and couples. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges and difficult relationships. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate a time of strong emotions, identity exploration, and changing relationships. When appropriate, I enjoy the opportunity to bring family members into therapy and use the space to improve communication and connection.
No matter who you are, I will work with you to create an authentic and down to earth space where you feel comfortable sharing about your past, your present, and beginning to move towards change. I will be your partner in considering new perspectives, learning new tools for coping, and uncovering the solutions that you already possess. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and strategic family therapy. I integrate art and play into sessions when appropriate. My goal is that you leave each session feeling empowered and optimistic about your journey.
I wish you all the best and hope we have a chance to connect.
