I am a firm believer that there is always more to learn. It’s what has led me from social work to marriage and family therapy to creating my own practice. I’m a believer in people and care about their stories being heard. Throughout the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to work in various settings and hear peoples’ stories in the moments when they needed someone to listen. I love this work because it’s always evolving; no day is ever the same. And when it comes down to the work, I’m at my best working with clients who are open to growth, increasing their self-awareness, and gaining insights to help them move forward. 

BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am also a certified EMDR trauma therapist. Having spent much of my life in California and Colorado, I have worked for Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Denver, and various educational settings. In addition to practicing therapy full-time, I am a professor and a clinical supervisor (LCSW and LMFT) at Denver Family Institute. My experience is broad and vast, and each environment I’ve worked in has helped me gain new insights that I apply to my practice working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. I love helping clients discover their authentic selves so they can live full lives and find emotional safety within themselves and their relationships. This work has been incredibly meaningful and has helped me on a personal level as well.

FUN FACTS I have a background in theater and creative writing, and, as a result, helping people find their voice is one of my greatest passions. I’m a mom to a brand new human and a mini golden doodle named May May, who is in the process of being trained as a therapy dog (and when I am doing non-virtual sessions, she often joins me, which clients love!).
