Welcome to My Practice: A Journey Rooted in Healing and Transformation
My desire to become a therapist sprouted at the tender age of ten. Growing up, I needed support navigating my inner and outer world with a safe adult who could validate and empathize with my experience; I was so lucky to have found that in my therapist. The profound impact of that experience ignited a spark within me—a desire to support others navigating their own complexities. Since 10 years old, I have never wavered from this career goal.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with a diverse array of populations and settings since becoming a social worker and have gained valuable knowledge through being able to support folx from many walks of life. As my practice has evolved, I have found that my true calling lies in working with teens and young adults. Adolescence and young adulthood are times of significant change, self-discovery, and growth. I find immense joy in helping my clients navigate this complex but meaningful phase of life, where setbacks can also be seen as possibilities.
I engage in the work that I do because I have a genuine love & admiration for people. Humans are remarkably resilient and multi-faceted, and being able to explore parts of Self through the context of environment, biology, family, conditioning and culture makes my work as a therapist so engaging. Every day I learn valuable lessons from my clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is reciprocal. Research tells us that the strongest indicator of positive outcomes in therapy is a trusting, positive relationship between client-therapist. I truly believe in this and have seen this play out in my own practice.
I strive to create a safe, accepting, and nonjudgmental space for my clients. My approach is laid-back yet firm in my belief that you hold inherent worth and value. I will always encourage you to honor your highest and most authentic Self. We can acknowledge and accept your pain and suffering while aligning our intention on ways to feel more empowered in our decisions and relationships.
For those who are interested in working with me, I offer therapy services to residents of Colorado in compliance with state licensure laws. Additionally, I provide individualized coaching services for international clients where I currently reside in South Florida, focusing on emotional wellness and personal growth. To be clear, coaching services are not a substitute for therapy or mental health treatment but offer a more bespoke, action-oriented approach to healing and transformation.
Outside of my work, I spend most of my time with my lovely son, husband and doggy. I love the beach and any opportunity to connect with nature. I find most joy in throwing on a good record, reading, journaling, finding any opportunity for live music, and enjoying a nice meal with friends. As an avid traveler and general adventure enthusiast, I try to balance my time between what grounds me and what inspires me. Generally, I love meeting new people and finding ways to expand my knowledge and practice. Let’s chat!
