I honor and believe in the beauty of the human experience from the low lows to the high highs. All parts of the human experience are sacred and I view my role as a compassionate witness as well as an accepting presence for any and all parts that show up to therapy.

I have been in the field of counseling since graduating with a Master’s in Mental Heath Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2020. Intuitively, i quickly felt that the pathologizing model of mental healthcare was not a good fit for me. I moved from Florida to Colorado seeking a more holistic, accepting, and integrative approach to mental health care.

In this search, I found somatic based practices that are now the foundation for my practice and my personal life. These modalities include Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness/ Mindful Movement. In addition to Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness Training, I have been trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, HeartMath, Neurolinguistic Programming, and somatic awareness practices. I continue to use a variety of tools in my practice.

I chose this work after surviving chronic physical pain for over 20 years leading to understandable mental distress and fatigue. I felt disappointed and disillusioned by the traditional healthcare system. I knew instinctively there was a way to find health, peace, and content inside my body where there had only been pain and fear for so long. My approach to mental wellness is informed by my own personal journey. I have chosen to specialize in specific modalities because i believe in their effectiveness, as they were pivotal in my own transformation from dis-ease —> to safety and joy in my body.

I believe that every human can find their own peace, safety, and joy. My passion is guiding my clients on their own unique journey to wellness.
