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.

Growing up surrounded by family members in the medical, mental health, and law enforcement fields, I quickly learned the importance of mental health care and grew a passion for my field.

Prior to entering my career in counseling, I spent 12 years in the social work field helping connect people to individuals who could help them start their journey toward healing themselves and their families. Throughout that experience, I realized over time, I wanted to be the one who walked alongside individuals in their healthing process instead of watching from the sidelines. 

While the root of my approach lies in cognitive behavioral therapy, I understand that it takes a variety of approaches to reach the clients I work with. I strive to create an environment rich with empathy, compassion, and mutual respect, while also understanding that creating such an environment requires honesty from both myself and my clients. Through these approaches, my goal is to help clients overcome obstacles, reach their treatment goals, and heal from their unique and complex experiences. 

I have been a full time resident of Park County since 2013 and enjoy spending my weekends camping, four wheeling, and being on the lake with family.
