My Approach
I offer a direct, patient, and compassionate approach while striving to create an environment where you will feel safe, affirmed, and included. My therapeutic perspective is trauma-informed, systemically rooted, and emotionally based.
Together, we will explore and incorporate elements of your past into your present with hopes of developing a deeper understanding of how you wish to begin again in the future. I aim to develop a relationship with all clients where you feel safe enough to explore and supported enough to take risks as we move through the work together.

My space & the basics
-
Our sessions will be held in my quant, quiet office. Sound Machines, window film, and a private waiting room allow for a calm space for our work to begin.
-
Simple Practice is the Electronic Health Care forum I use. All client files and information are kept secure and easily accessible.
-
All insurance clients will use Headway to verify and process insurance claims.
-
I know schedules can be tricky and I offer a flexible schedule. I currently have appointments throughout the day both virtually and in-person.
When I am not in office, I enjoy spending time with my friends in Denver, visiting my family in California, exploring new restaurants with my partner, and being a dog mom to my miniature dachshund, Oakley. I can spend hours puzzling, baking on the weekends, and listening to Taylor Swift on repeat.
I also work part-time at Denver Family Institute as their Clinic Operations Specialist and Practicum Instructor. In this role, I offer support and training to developing therapists on all things documentation related.
