“I wish I could break free from the pain of my past”
“I feel like my worries define me”
“I want to move forward, but I don’t know how”
“I feel like I can’t connect with others the way I want to”
“Some days I just don’t know how to deal with everything”
“I don’t even feel like I can keep my thoughts straight”
No one should have to face life’s challenges without help, let me support you through this.
I strive to make every client I meet feel comfortable enough to explore their unique experience and walk out of my office feeling heard and valued. I aim to offer support and guidance that will empower you to make the changes you want to see for yourself. I can't take away your past or guarantee that there won't be any dark days in your future. But I can help you to let go of the pain connected to your trauma, be it big or small, and build skills to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
I aim to help individuals struggling with a variety of life’s challenges and my primary areas of expertise include:
My therapeutic approach
I believe that no two humans are the same, we each have struggles and successes that no one else can completely understand. So I practice a varied therapy style, tailoring my approach to the individual needs of each client that I work with. I am trained in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and my graduate course work focused heavily on neurocounseling, each of which help me to assist clients in gaining a better understanding of their own experience and the connection between their mind and body.
Life is extremely unpredictable. One day you're on a steady march to your dreams, the next you feel like the world is crashing down. I know what it feels like to be in each of those places and everywhere in between. No matter where you find yourself in life and what goals you may have, I'd love the opportunity to help you make those goals feel possible.

About me:
I grew up in rural Missouri and will always be a small-town girl at heart. I attended Truman State University in Kirksville, MO where I obtained dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Exercise Science in May of 2016. I began pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Neurocounseling in May of 2017 and was able to complete the majority of my coursework remotely, which allowed me to move to St George, Utah and work in the field of wilderness therapy while still obtaining my degree. In Utah I worked with adolescents struggling with sexually based issues and adoption issues, first as a wilderness field guide and later as a clinician after I completed my graduate program in August of 2020. Utah ignited my wild heart in a way I could never have expected, but a part of me has always known Colorado was calling ever since my many childhood trips to the Rockies to visit family. I relocated to Fort Collins in May of 2023 and am so excited to continue my journey in such a beautiful place!
When I’m not at work I enjoy doing almost anything outdoors but my favorite hobbies include rock climbing, biking, golfing, and ultimate frisbee. On the rare day when I’m stuck inside you can usually find me playing an ultra-nerdy board game or reading a good book.
