Introduction

I am a dedicated therapist with a master’s in social work from Metropolitan State University of Denver. I am driven by a deep passion for helping individuals of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds heal and thrive through support, education, and empathy. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Flash Technique, which equip me with powerful tools to guide clients through their healing journeys. I recognize the importance of each person’s uniqueness and draw from various therapeutic techniques, such as synergetic play therapy, attachment-based strategies, and cognitive and behavioral therapy, capitalizing on innate strengths for recovery. When I’m not helping people, I enjoy spending time with the people I love, cuddling with my pets, Koko and Whisky, going on adventures, watching movies, and eating all kinds of food. I believe that everyone deserves a fulfilling life and the support needed to achieve it. I am committed to showing that each person belongs and matters, and I extend a guiding hand toward their journey of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
