I am passionate about creating meaningful connections with individuals facing hardships and trauma. My journey in the field of counseling has been driven by a deep-seated love for supporting others through their most challenging times. 

With a foundation built on trust, connection, empathy, and compassion, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and valued. My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses the strength and resilience to overcome adversity with the right guidance and support.  

Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic techniques and modalities, I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, process their emotions, and develop effective coping strategies. Whether navigating through personal struggles, relationship issues, or past traumas, I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey towards healing and growth. 

Through my work, I aim to empower individuals to discover their inner strengths, cultivate self-awareness, and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and well-being in their lives. I am deeply honored to be a part of each client's transformative journey, and I approach my role as a counselor with humility, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

As a Colorado native, I love spending my time outside enjoying hiking, paddleboarding and all fun outside activities.
