Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Denver, CO covered by United Healthcare

I completed my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have been licensed for more than 8 years. I've gained valuable experience working with clients across numerous agencies and 4 years of private practice to assist couples, individuals, and families like you to address anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress, couples therapy, divorce/break ups, and grief/loss.

You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Maybe you're overthinking, struggling in relationships, or navigating a life transition that feels harder than expected.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience in both outpatient therapy and hospital-based crisis work, including emergency department settings. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and life transitions, especially those who are used to being the “strong one” for others but are ready for space to slow down and feel supported.

My background includes working with a wide range of emotional and relational concerns, and I aim to create a space where you can step out of your day-to-day roles and focus on yourself in a way that feels grounded, supportive, and meaningful.

I provide supportive therapy to adults and adolescents who are struggling with complex trauma, depression, anxiety, codependency, OCD and relationship issues. I work to help you evaluate what thought patterns, core beliefs, and behaviors are no longer serving you and to develop tools to self-soothe, affirm yourself, set boundaries, enhance authenticity and communicate effectively.

We want to show the world that we have everything put together. Many times, we are struggling to stay afloat. Our quality of life is affected, and we find struggle in our relationships. Communication within ourselves and with others is compounded. Finding a non-judgmental and unbiased environment to process individually and/or together with partners and families can help to note the specific problem(s). By better understanding the problem, we are more successful in finding solutions. If we are informed, we are better in our decision-making. Therapy is a unique process, just like your life is unique.

If we have not contacted a professional for help, we are still doing some level of work. The work in the search for the next step. It is when we are lost in asking ourselves “How can I do better? How can I do better for myself and others?”. That’s when the next step of reaching out for help is needed. I am a therapist. I am human. I understand.

I was raised in San Diego, CA, and received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. I completed both my doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at CU Boulder's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS). I prioritize a generalist approach that prepares me to work effectively with a very wide range of concerns in therapy, and I have specializations in providing compassionate crisis services as well as behavioral health support in medical settings.

While a lucky few might 'get it right' the first time, for most of us, life is a continuous process of evolution. We are constantly learning and edging closer to the people we truly want to be. I am here to support you through that journey of growth.

I specialize in helping client's navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, and the stress of balancing modern life. Whether you are working through identity shifts, parenting challenges, or relationship struggles, I am committed to providing a space where you feel truly heard. If you feel like you’re falling short of the person, partner, or parent you want to be, let's work together to bridge that gap."
