Welcome, I am glad you are here!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for helping individuals navigate the intricate terrain of attachment, relationships, trauma, and eating disorders. With over 5 years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to empowering clients to achieve emotional well-being and fostering healthier connections with themselves and others.
I have a dual Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling and have worked in a variety of settings including schools, universities, treatment centers, and hospitals. Through personal and professional experiences, I have found my passion in helping clients navigate the complex issues that arise with disordered eating and comorbid diagnoses of anxiety and depression.
I am deeply committed to helping those struggling with eating disorders on their path to recovery. I use a discerning and individualized approach, drawing from therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) to address the complex psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of eating disorders and co-occurring symptoms.
I have a calming, nonjudgmental and authentic approach to therapy. I value authenticity and my mission is to help you become more of who you truly are. When I am not counseling, you can find me outside mountain biking, skiing, trying out new Denver restaurants, or traveling back to the beach to my hometown of San Diego. I value a balanced and active lifestyle and strive to surround myself with friends and family as often as possible.
If you are seeking guidance for attachment issues, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, or for personal development, I am here to support you on your path towards healing and reaching your full potential. Let’s talk!
