Hello! I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. I received my Masters from the University of Denver and have been a therapist for six years. I use a compassionate and mindful approach to support clients in meaningfully processing past stressors and traumas and coping with significant life transitions. Creating authentic meaning and joy from my life experiences, even the traumatic ones, has been a source of abundance to me. I’m passionate about continuing to better myself, my practice, and the lives of the people I work with.
My approach
As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to share. I love my work and strive to incorporate compassion, wisdom, and humor into my sessions. I am strengths-based and client-centered, trained in EMDR, and use a blend of mindfulness and somatic techniques with my clients.
My focus
I enjoy working with a diverse group of clients who are interested in changing their relationship to their belief systems and past experiences. My clients often strive to process past stressors and traumas meaningfully so they can move forward. I support individuals experiencing life transitions, grief and loss, as well as depressive and anxiety symptoms.
My communication style
My clients describe me as warm, funny, and honest. I strive to blend kindness with wisdom and to be non-judgmental and curious toward my clients. I believe we are all the experts on ourselves and I am here to support clients find or re-connect to their inner experts.
My journey to mental healthcare
On my path to becoming a therapist, I've experienced traumas and losses that have informed my work with clients. I've always loved connecting with and listening to others, supporting them in processing their experiences and making sense of their life stories. I am endlessly curious about the human experience, which keeps me engaged and passionate about my work and the people I work alongside.
My goals for you
I like to discuss goals during our first session together and chat about progress and barriers in follow-up sessions. Setting small goals is more sustainable for clients looking to achieve big changes.
My first session with you
In our first session, the client and I get to know one another to build trust and comfort. I offer coping skills when appropriate and discuss therapy goals so that we can create a path forward together.
