My approach to counseling emphasizes two things: relationships and the brain. Mental health professionals have known for a long time that the relationship an individual has with his or her counselor is the greatest predictor of success. I want to understand someone in the context of his or her story. Your story matters–even the messy parts. Secondly, I want to use brain-based interventions. Everything we do has a reason. From having snacks, doing cartwheels, processing trauma through EMDR, to “parts work”, or neurofeedback–there’s a brain reason for it.

I believe in the power of story. The stories we believe radically shape the trajectory of our lives. Luckily, we can shape our stories. This often begins with the courage to engage in honest self-reflection. As we explore parts of ourselves we can engage our experiences and our pain in a way that leads to growth and healing. Life is about the journey, not the destination, and so let’s enjoy the journey.
To understand our experience, it is crucial to look at how our brains and bodies develop and function. My approach is rooted in current brain research that focuses on the importance of our attachment relationship and considers how physiology effects our responses to trauma. My goal is to create safe space to explore, heal, gain helpful tools, and embrace our authentic selves.

In order to begin the work towards more wholehearted living, we must first take the time to understand our story, how we have learned to relate to people through our early experiences, the coping strategies we picked up, and the vows we began to make. As we bravely begin to understand our unique journey, we can begin to engage and live differently. We can begin to heal.

Born and raised in Colorado, I have grown to love the area, the people, and the outdoors. I love the mountains, seasons, music, and nature that Colorado has to offer, but I also take every chance I can to travel and see other parts of the world. On my days off, I’ll probably be exploring Colorado, reading, listening to music, or doing some photography.
My philosophy has been developed over years of working in a variety of mental health settings from clinical and educational to personal. As I continue to work and learn, my philosophy around working with others continues to develop. I use a multicultural lens when working with others, and bring in topics of background, privilege, and race into work to look at how these things impact and influence the individual. I also look at things with the brain in mind, if someone has had a traumatic past and/or early childhood, their brain is likely impacted by this. Similarly, if someone has had a great childhood, their brain is also likely to be impacted by this. I strive to work with both the individual and their brain to help the person decrease problematic symptoms, while increasing a sense of efficacy and agency in life. Not everyone gets the same chances growing up and not everyone gets to have a perfect brain when they’re grown up. I use counseling and neurofeedback to help each individual I work with have the best chances at living their best lives. I am a strong believer that there isn’t one perfect therapy or medication for each person and strive to use an integrative approach, working mostly with neurofeedback and counseling, while coordinating with other providers to make sure that each client receives the best care possible.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in the state of Colorado. I received my Masters of Arts in Multicultural Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado at Denver and have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Anthropology from Colorado State University. I am also Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN) and am continuously working on expanding my knowledge and expertise in these subjects. I strive to continue to better myself in the fields of counseling and neurofeedback with continuing certification, consultation, and education.
