Are you ready to take the next steps to make a positive change? I am a results-driven therapist focused on helping you feel better, reclaim your life, and reach your highest potential. In my therapy room, I work creatively to meet you where you are at and follow your lead as you are the expert of your life. Together, we will explore existing strengths and resources with a goal of bringing them into the present to support personal growth and attainment of goals.
My clinical interests include the treatment of anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relational issues, as well as the exploration of wellness, personal development, skill building and mindfulness. It’s most important to me to treat the whole person and honor the mind, body, and spirit connection through an eclectic, mixed approach. I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and Internal Family Systems (the movie “Inside Out” is based on this model!).
To be qualified to help you with the above, I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Valdosta State University in 2012 (think: humid south Georgia). I relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to work in a residential setting that provided a wide range of experiences. While there, I learned the value of trauma-informed approach to therapy and specialized in equine therapy before packing up and moving west at the end of 2019. It is an honor to land at Anschutz’s Student and Resident Mental Health Clinic and I am fortunate to continue walking along side those on their healing journey.
Outside of the therapy room, I am engaging in a variety of activities to keep my own spirit charged such as hiking, backpacking, yoga, learning to snowboard, connecting with loved ones, watering my houseplants, cooking, listening to dance music, playing with my cat GellyBall and crafting. I look forward to helping you get connected to the passions that light you up, too!
