I am a person who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community with multicultural and multiethnic roots. I enjoy working with adult men who are exploring their gender, sexuality, and relationships; members of the LGBTQ+ and BDSM/kink communities; and sexual trauma survivors and thrivers. I aim to help clients in accepting and loving the parts of themselves that they have disowned or hidden throughout their lifespan due to negative influences from their families of origin, peers, and society.

II’m a trauma integration specialist, somatic therapist, and EMDR-trained psychologist with a deep commitment to neurodivergent-affirming care. My work blends depth psychology, polyvagal theory, and creative strategies to support healing that honors complexity, identity, and lived experience. I help clients untangle survival patterns, reclaim nervous system agency, and build embodied resilience through relational, sensory, and narrative tools. In practice, I integrate somatic techniques to support interoceptive awareness, emotional regulation, and the reclamation of body-based safety. I use polyvagal-informed approaches to help clients understand their autonomic states and develop personalized strategies for co-regulation and connection. EMDR is a core modality in my work, especially for clients navigating complex trauma, dissociation, and chronic overwhelm. My sessions often include visual metaphors, parts work, and sensory-friendly adaptations to meet each client’s unique nervous system. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, trauma survivors, and those navigating layered grief, identity, and systemic stress. My approach is collaborative, creative, and grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing what’s broken; it’s about reclaiming what’s been buried, distorted, or denied. I aim to offer a space where clients feel seen, held, and empowered to move toward integration on their own terms.

I am a Colorado and South Carolina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with: individuals in the midst of grief and other major phase-of-life transitions like divorce, job loss, legal challenges, etc.; teenagers who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges; couples and families that are struggling to find common ground; and fractured families prior to, during, and after divorce. Building strong families, even through divorce or custody battles, incarceration, or other prolonged periods of estrangement, is a particular area of focus for me. I offer reintegration therapy services for parents and children who have experienced short- and long-term separation or alienation. I love working with families who want to find a way to function better post-divorce. In addition, I spent a decade working for the Alzheimer's Association, which included counseling individuals and families who were facing a diagnosis of dementia. Prior to venturing into the counseling field, I ran a non-profit that operated a 100-bed homeless shelter, a family transitional housing program, and an eight-unit supportive housing project for Veterans. I have a heart for working with military veterans and their families -- having 22 years of service in the US Air Force myself. I served on Active Duty for 6 years, and after a break in service, completed another 16 years as a Reservist. My spouse served alongside me, with each of us deploying twice. Our son is currently serving as well. Therefore, I have been the deployed service member, the spouse left to manage things back home, and the mom watching her "baby" deploy to far-off places. There is almost no part of military service I do not understand through first-hand experience.

My style blends depth-oriented therapy — exploring the deeper patterns and stories that shape you — with practical, evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I spent nine years on the Boulder Crisis Team, providing psychiatric evaluations in ERs, jails, and walk-in clinics, which taught me how to stay calm and effective in moments of distress. In our work together, we’ll use both insight and skills — helping you understand the roots of your struggle while learning concrete ways to regulate emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and create a more meaningful, resilient life.

If you're struggling with grief, life changes, the state of the world, or big existential questions, I may be a good fit for you. I currently keep a very small practice of exclusively telehealth adult clientele primarily dealing with grief, life transitions, the stresses of daily life in our changing world, OCD and phobias, and navigating issues related to identity, belongingness, and a sense of life meaning and purpose. I also love working with folks looking for relief from OCD or phobias using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. Maybe you've tried talk therapies with little or no progress. ERP is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for OCD and phobias with better outcomes than other treatment modalities or meds alone. It's hard work, but it's worth it to get your life back.

I’m a first-generation Latina therapist, and that lived experience gives me a unique lens in how I show up for the people I work with. I understand the mix of cultural expectations, generational patterns, and just trying to get through everyday life. Many of my clients come in carrying anxiety, self-doubt, depression, or trauma, but also the very real, everyday stuff: relationship stress, distrust in others, feeling not good enough, not wanted, not seen. In our work together, I help you unpack those feelings and begin to challenge the negative narratives that may be shaping how you see yourself. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand where those patterns come from and supporting you in rewriting the story in a way that feels more honest and empowering. I believe healing starts from within. Empowerment isn’t just about what we can do, it’s about remembering who we already are. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, find your voice, and build a life that feels more grounded, more intentional, and more yours.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
