If you’re feeling overwhelmed, going through a transition, or looking for a supportive space to explore your inner world, you’re in the right place. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the strengths each person has, even when life is challenging.

My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel seen and understood. Together, we can uncover existing resources and develop new skills, navigate challenges, and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I work with adolescents (13+) and adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem/self-worth issues, stress, spirituality, life transitions, and addiction. My practice is eclectic, meaning it thoughtfully integrates various evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, mindfulness training for present moment awareness, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, Motivational Interviewing to harness inner drive, Seeking Safety for navigating past experiences, (Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) for developing skills to better regulate difficult emotions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing and resolving the impact of distressing memories.

I am a licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) through Iowa and a dually licensed Social Worker (LCSW) and Addiction Counselor (LAC) in Colorado. I earned my master’s degree in clinical social work with a certificate in interpersonal trauma studies from the University of Denver in Denver, CO and my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in psychology from Columbia College in Columbia, MO. With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I’ve worked in various disciplines and with adolescents and adults providing group and individual therapy, withdrawal management (detox), and inpatient and outpatient mental health/substance abuse treatment.

I accept Wellmark,  most out-of-state Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans, Health Partners, Cigna, and private pay. My self pay rate is $200 for your first appointment and $175 after that.
