ABOUT ME

I graduated with master's degrees in social work and divinity in 2017. I have since worked as a psychotherapist for adults, adolescents, and groups in a community clinic before venturing into private practice in 2021. I help clients address many concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, past trauma, and abuse. In addition, I am a certified EMDR therapist.

My divinity background adds to my understanding and ability to guide clients experiencing existential crises and other spiritual and meaning of life issues. I have special interest in helping clients of all faiths and religious backgrounds navigate their spirituality. 

My counseling style is person-centered, and I hold a core belief that everyone is the expert of their own lives and experiences. My role as a counselor is to help you discover the change you want for yourself and guide you toward that change. I am also trained in internal family systems therapy (IFS), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). 

My life journey lends itself well to my current walk and talk therapy practice. After experiencing challenging medical and work-related stressors during grad school, I turned to the great outdoors and experienced the healing power of nature firsthand. In our free time, my family and I take advantage of Durango’s beautiful landscape by camping, hiking, biking, and trail running.
