About Me
Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
​
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado, and I’ve been supporting individuals in private practice since 2019. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and have pursued extensive continued education in Mindfulness, Metacognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as various spiritual teachings. I’m also a daily meditation practitioner and yoga enthusiast, which deeply informs my therapeutic approach.
My journey into psychotherapy was shaped not only by academic and professional training but also by life experiences. As an adult, I enjoyed ten years as a stay-at-home mother to two terrific children (now teenagers), six years in small business management, and a lifelong commitment to personal growth and mindfulness. I chose to start my clinical work after gaining training, knowledge and wisdom through my 20s and 30s which helped me become the clinician I am today!​
My Key Beliefs
My work is grounded in a set of guiding principles that shape how I support clients:
​
-
Be Present. Open Up. Do What Matters.
-
Where our attention goes, energy flows.
-
The mind is a tool: learning to use it effectively is essential to well-being.
-
You are not your thoughts or emotions; you are the awareness observing them.
-
Your response to thoughts and emotions determines your experience of the world.
-
You can’t stop thoughts from arising, but you have the power to choose whether to engage with them.
-
Most suffering stems from our habitual thinking, not from external circumstances.
-
Presence is powerful: moving through life moment by moment, without attachment or judgment, is a transformative opportunity.
-
Our past informs our present but does not dictate our future.
These beliefs are not just theoretical, they are practiced each day in the here and now. They guide how I show up in sessions, how I listen, and how I help clients reconnect with their inner strength and clarity.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, I offer a space that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in evidence-based practices.
