I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, dedicated to providing a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore and work toward their therapeutic goals. I take a blended approach, integrating several therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for behavioral change, Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) interventions for trauma, and Psychobiological Attachment Couples Therapy (PACT). I am Level 1 trained in PACT and working towards completing Level 2 training.
I believe in incorporating humor and authenticity into the therapeutic process, creating a space where clients feel comfortable and supported. I work collaboratively with clients to explore behaviors, beliefs, and relationship dynamics that may be contributing to current challenges. By emphasizing mindfulness and self-compassion, I encourage clients to shift from judgment to curiosity, which opens up space for profound healing and personal growth. My goal is to help clients cultivate a deeper sense of connection, compassion, and mindful awareness in their relationships with themselves and others.
I am committed to respecting the diverse identities that clients hold, including race, religion, culture, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, ensuring that clients from all backgrounds encounter an open, loving, and non-oppressive environment.
