I know that reaching out for help can feel daunting, and I truly admire your courage in taking this step toward better mental wellness. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who cares deeply about mental health, I'm here to offer you a warm, safe, and supportive space where you can comfortably share your experiences and challenges.
I work with young women, millennials, teen girls, and young couples. I can support you to help build boundaries, work on relationships, learn coping skills to deal with anxiety & stress, talk through life changes & challenges, big decisions, small decisions, or anything else. I focus on family dynamics, generational patterns, and helping you choose the best steps to take moving forward.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating emotional intensity, relational stress, and life transitions. My practice focuses on helping young people feel more regulated, understood, and confident in who they are, while supporting caregivers in strengthening connection and emotional safety at home.
I have training in attachment-based and experiential therapies, including Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and I incorporate trauma-informed approaches to help clients build insight and resilience. I am especially passionate about supporting youth through nature-based therapy and providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients.
My background includes working with adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity exploration, and emotional dysregulation. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Colorado. I graduated from Colorado Mesa University in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and went on to complete my master’s degree in in mental health counseling at Arizona State University. In 2017, I received my Ph.D. in counselor education from the University of Central Florida
Clients should know that I am someone who genuinely wants to hear them—especially if they feel overwhelmed, unseen, or lost in the chaos of daily life. I strive to create a space where it’s safe to be human, honest, and imperfect. I believe healing begins when we can talk openly about our pain, our hopes, and everything in between, without fear of judgment.
I am deeply committed to meeting clients exactly where they are and walking alongside them at a pace that feels right. I value trust, authenticity, and connection, and I take my role seriously as both a support and a collaborator in your healing process. Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong learner, a big sports fan, and someone who finds grounding in working out, good food, and live music—reminders that joy and connection can exist alongside life’s hardest moments.
I am currently preparing for maternity leave beginning in May. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me).

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.
I have worked providing mental health care extensively in many environments including wilderness behavioral programs, juvenile detention centers, acute mental health hospitals and addiction clinics. I was raised in Montana where I learned to love backpacking, rock climbing and skiing. I now live in the Colorado Springs area with my wife and our three kids who all love the mountains and high mountain lakes.
