It’s Me. Hi.

My style is active, relational, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when you feel truly seen. I don’t just sit back and nod. I show up with you, with curiosity, honesty, and a little humor when it fits.

I take an eclectic, trauma-informed approach, pulling from strength-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based practices. But more than anything, I tailor our work to you. Your needs, your pace, your goals.

At the core of my work is an attachment-based lens. That means we’ll explore how your early relationships shaped how you move through the world now. How you connect, how you cope, and how you protect yourself. We’ll get curious about the patterns that once helped you survive but might be getting in your way today.

I also approach therapy through a feminist lens. I understand that your struggles aren’t just personal. They’re shaped by systems, expectations, and cultural messages that were never built for your wholeness. I create space for that complexity. This is a gender-affirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice where all identities are honored.

Yes, we’ll go deep. But we might also laugh. I believe humor can be a healing force, a way to break tension, stay human, and remember that growth doesn’t have to be joyless.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I’ll reflect what I see, ask hard questions, and help you connect the dots. And I’ll always trust your inner wisdom to lead the way.

I take an eclectic, client-centered approach. That means I draw from a range of tools and frameworks based on what feels helpful and relevant to you, not just what’s trendy or clinical for the sake of it.

Some of the more structured approaches I use include:

• Attachment Work
  We’ll look at how your early relationships shaped how you show up now, emotionally, relationally, and even physically.

• Strength-Based Therapy
  We’ll identify what’s already working, even if it doesn’t feel like much right now, and build from there.

• Motivational Interviewing
  This is a collaborative, non-judgmental way of exploring ambivalence and helping you connect to your own motivation for change.

• Feminist and Liberation-Focused Therapy
  I work through a lens that acknowledges how systems impact your mental health. You’re not struggling in a vacuum, and therapy shouldn’t pretend otherwise.

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
  For clients who are a fit, KAP can open up new pathways for healing, especially around trauma and rigid patterns.

I also offer more intuitive tools, because sometimes, healing asks for language beyond the clinical.

• Astrology, Enneagram, and Tarot
  These are not fortune-telling tools or excuses for behavior. They’re frameworks for self-reflection, insight, and self-trust. If it feels aligned, we can use them to deepen your awareness, connect to your intuition, and make meaning of the patterns you’re living through.

Everything I bring into session is in service of your clarity, your healing, and your agency. You always get to choose what resonates, and what doesn’t.

I hold a Master’s degree in Addiction Counseling from Colorado State University (CSU) and am a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado.

I’ve completed specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) through Elemental Psychedelics, a women-led program focused on education, ethics, and real-world practice. This work is deep and sacred to me, and I continue to study how to hold that space with integrity.

I’m also a member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), which supports my ongoing work in building group spaces that are both structured and soul-nourishing.

I also teach in the addiction counseling program at CSU, where I get to help shape future therapists with the same values I bring into my practice: honesty, depth, and humanity.

I’ve worked in both private practice and community mental health, which means I’ve seen the system from the inside. I’ve worked with people navigating trauma, addiction, burnout, and the quiet ache of being the one who keeps it together. That experience shapes how I show up, with compassion, clarity, and care that’s actually personalized.

I don’t believe in performance therapy. I don’t believe in fitting myself into a box to make this space feel more clinical, digestible, or palatable. I’m not here to nod politely and give you homework unless it actually helps.

I believe in showing up as a real human. Not a blank slate. Not a walking DSM. Just me, grounded, trained, experienced, and very much alive in the room with you.

I reject the idea that therapists have to look, talk, or act a certain way to be taken seriously. I curse. I laugh. I get excited when you have breakthroughs and frustrated with you when the world keeps asking too much. That doesn’t make me less of a therapist. It makes me your therapist, one who’s not afraid to meet you where you are and stay with you through the mess and the meaning.

I believe therapy is more than just working through trauma. It’s also about making space for joy, for curiosity, for real connection. I believe healing isn’t linear, and it definitely doesn’t have to be sterile. And I believe you don’t have to be “better” or “more together” to be worthy of doing this work.

Not everyone’s healing will look the same. And not every therapist will either.

That’s the point.
