Accepting clients Last Updated 6 days ago

I’m a licensed master social worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. My work is grounded in whole-person care, supporting clients in reconnecting with themselves, navigating relationships, and building emotional resilience.

In therapy, I draw from intimacy from the inside out (IFIO), emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT), and cognitive behavioral therapy. These approaches allow us to explore emotional patterns, understand protective parts, and challenge the thoughts that keep you feeling stuck, especially around sex, identity, and relationships. My clinical focus includes sex therapy, identity development, trauma recovery, and relationship concerns, including polyamory, infidelity, and compulsive sexual behaviors. I have particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults in transition, and clients navigating shame or secrecy in their intimate lives.

Sessions with me are collaborative and grounded. I aim to create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and be fully yourself, without pressure or judgment. Whether you’re processing grief, exploring gender identity, or trying to understand relationship dynamics, I meet you with curiosity and care. You set the pace. I offer tools and insight along the way.

Over the years, I’ve worked in settings that span emotional, relational, and systems-based care—from trauma recovery and advocacy to long-term therapy. This work continues to deepen my belief that people are capable of powerful, meaningful change when given a space to feel safe, seen, and supported.

What I love most is witnessing those small but profound moments of growth—when someone starts setting boundaries, softens toward themselves, or begins to believe they’re worthy of connection. Therapy is a space for that kind of reconnection. It’s work I feel honored to do.

Outside of the therapy room, I value creativity, quiet, and community. I’m passionate about helping people feel less alone, more whole, and more at home in themselves.
