My Story

Whether it was being raised in a blended family that wanted to talk about everything, the guidance of my own incredible therapists, or a childhood education centered around empathy and self-understanding—I’ve known for as long as I can remember that I wanted to become a therapist.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, where I built a strong clinical foundation, completed a certificate in interpersonal trauma, and deepened my heart for social justice. From there, I pursued advanced clinical training in Marriage and Family Therapy at the Denver Family Institute, where I spent two immersive years growing as a Couples and Family Therapist. Through video-recorded sessions, live peer observation, intensive supervision, and the support of a deeply engaged community of therapists, I found my voice and presence in the therapy room.

Now, with over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of clients on their journeys through healing, growth, and self-discovery. I feel incredibly grateful to do work that is both professionally fulfilling and personally aligned with who I am. I’m especially passionate about the power of connection and the possibilities that emerge when we feel truly seen and supported.

As a therapist, a clinical supervisor, and a faculty member at the Denver Family Institute, I continue to learn and grow in this field I love.

In my personal life, I’m a mom of two and have been with my husband for 15 years. These parts of my life—messy, joyful, demanding, and full of love—continue to shape my understanding of relationships, resilience, and what it means to show up with care.

My Style

I draw from a range of approaches including attachment therapy, narrative therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and good old-fashioned logic and humor. I show up as myself, and my first priority is to get to know you—not just your struggles, but your strengths, values, and what really matters to you.

Once trust is built between us, I’ll be direct and honest in a way that keeps us grounded in your goals and hopes for therapy. My aim is to create a space where you feel deeply understood and gently challenged—so real growth can happen.

I believe relationships can be the most meaningful and healing part of our lives.
I believe every person has a story that deserves to be heard.
And I truly believe that we all have the capacity to tap into our own inner resources—to find peace, clarity, connection, and healing. When we do, we are able to show up in the world as our truest, brightest selves.
