Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I offer therapy via Zoom, to individuals located in Colorado, Virginia, and Wyoming. I am passionate about helping adults of all ages increase self-understanding and self-compassion to become the best version of themselves. I utilize a combination of narrative therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to better understand how our past experiences inform our beliefs and how this in turn may impact us in day to day life. I enjoy boundary work, use skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral skills.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will discuss your reason for seeking support at this time and what you're hoping to achieve through our work together. We will begin to conceptualize your goals and objective for therapy and develop a plan for our work. I will ask lots of questions, in an effort to better understand your unique needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I utilize a comprehensive approach to treatment, which begins with a through assessment. We will identify your strengths, as well as areas for improvement. It may be helpful to create an autobiographical narrative together, which provides an opportunity for you to share your story and deepen self-understanding. My therapy approach is informed by my lived experience as a provider as well as a client. I am empathetic, non- judgmental, caring, and appreciate human connectedness.
