I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver (2015). My work is rooted in Attachment-Focused Therapy, which means we look at how your early relationships shaped the way you experience emotions, connection, and safety today.

I began my career providing school-based, trauma-focused therapy in Aurora, Colorado, working with children navigating poverty, unstable home environments, and systemic stress. While this work was meaningful, I often felt limited by how much of the larger picture I could access. That led me to train in EMDR in 2017, expanding my ability to support deeper healing.

I later moved into integrated behavioral health at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where I worked with children and their caregivers together. This is where I was introduced to Infant Mental Health which gave me a perspective that fundamentally changed how I understand people of all ages. I began to see more clearly how patterns of attachment, attunement, and regulation are carried forward into adulthood.

This experience reinforced something that now sits at the core of my work: we can’t fully support children without supporting their caregivers and we can’t understand individuals outside the context of their relationships.

At Denver Health I continued working in pediatric primary care with an increasing focus on parents and caregivers. During this time, I trained in Synergetic Play Therapy and expanded my EMDR work to include adults particularly those navigating traumatic or complex birth experiences.

A core belief of mine is that no human exists outside the context of their relationships. Insight alone isn’t enough and eventually everything we learn about ourselves gets tested in how we show up with others.

If you’ve become aware of patterns you don’t want to repeat but aren’t sure how to actually change them, you’re not alone.

Because our history is stored in the body, I see talk therapy as just one piece of the process. I integrate somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support nervous system regulation and create meaningful, corrective emotional experiences.

My goal is to help you move beyond understanding your patterns to actually living differently in your relationships, your body, and your day-to-day life.
