About me and What shapes my work?
I've spent my life asking why people do what they do; how families work, how early experience lingers, and how the past shows up in the present.
For over a decade, I worked in correctional settings, providing psychological care to people who are often unseen, misunderstood, or written off—individuals navigating severe mental illness, trauma, complex life circumstances, and experiences of marginalization, including many LGBTQ+ individuals. Working with people across incredibly difficult circumstances has taught me that even in the darkest places, people carry remarkable strength, resilience, and capacity for change.
Now I work in a place that feels more aligned with who I am at my core: authentic, relationship-oriented, curious, and human. I want to create spaces where people can show up as their full selves—the messy parts, the resilient parts, the parts that are healing and growing—and know they don’t have to have everything figured out.
Specialization & Approach
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and deeply relational. I believe everyone deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and dignity—not judgment. I care deeply about diversity, equity, and creating spaces where people can feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, including sexual trauma, and in addiction, especially when the two are connected. I also support people through infertility, IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum, with a particular focus on same-sex and LGBTQ+ couples building a family.
Attachment, Psychodynamic, and Relational Approaches: We’ll explore how early experiences, family dynamics, relationships, culture, and identity have shaped the way you understand yourself and relate to others. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work toward greater self-awareness, authenticity, and connection.
Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT): We’ll explore how connection, disconnection, identity, culture, and social context have influenced your relationships and sense of self, with an emphasis on developing more mutual, authentic, and fulfilling connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): These approaches offer practical tools for understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and values while building greater awareness, flexibility, and intentionality in your choices.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) & Gottman Method: For couples, I draw from EFT and the Gottman Method to help partners understand relational patterns, communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, identify underlying needs, and build greater security, intimacy, and connection.
Training, Credentials, and Clinical Work
I started my formal training with a psychology degree and a sociology minor from Arizona State University (go Sun Devils!), then moved to Colorado to earn my master’s in forensic psychology. I liked it so much I stayed for my doctorate in Clinical Psychology, which I completed at the University of Denver in 2015.
I'm a Licensed Psychologist in Colorado PSY.0006492 (Verify my license), as well as a PSYPACT provider which allows me to see clients via telehealth in 40+ states.
I love mentoring and supervising early-career clinicians. Helping therapists find their voice, develop their clinical skills, navigate complexity, and grow into confident, authentic clinicians is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Who I Work Best With
I tend to work best with clients who are:
Authentic & Curious: People who value being genuine, are curious about themselves, and want to better understand the “why” behind their thoughts, feelings, and patterns.
Desire Meaningful Connection: Individuals who want deeper, more authentic, and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.
LGBTQ+ & Nontraditional Experiences: People whose identities, relationships, or life experiences may not fit neatly into traditional boxes and who value an affirming, inclusive therapeutic space.
Couples Seeking Deeper Connection: Couples who want to move beyond simply managing conflict and develop a deeper understanding of themselves, each other, and the patterns that shape their relationship.
Open & Reflective: Clients who are willing to show up honestly, get curious, explore difficult things, and consider new perspectives.
Growth-Oriented: People who may not have everything figured out but are ready to explore what’s keeping them stuck and what might be possible.
What Therapy Looks Like
I believe healing happens through safe, inclusive, compassionate relationships. Therapy doesn’t require you to show up perfectly; it requires a space where you can be real. That’s the kind of space I strive to create every day. If you’re looking for a psychologist who blends clinical skill with heart, humor, curiosity, and a healthy dose of realness, we might just get along.
