When we are bogged down by stress, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, or lack a sense of
purpose, we disconnect from our inherent creativity. Perhaps you are navigating a tough
transition, and struggle to see your way through it, let alone what you could create out of it.
Maybe there is a lot inside of you yearning to be expressed, but you feel stuck. Perhaps your
sense of well-being or connection with creativity has been overtaken by social expectations,
whether that be from family, friends, or aspects of society that you do not resonate with. I am
passionate about working with artists, creatives, and/or deep feelers and thinkers dealing with
anxiety, depression, perfectionism, stress, and/or overwhelm. I also specialize in working with
adults in their 20s and 30s navigating transitions in career, education, and/or relationships.
I approach therapy as a creative and collaborative process tailored to your unique needs.
Drawing from Psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and yoga and mindfulness-based modalities, we
can examine the material of your life, create new structures and goals that align with what’s most
important to you, and develop practices that lead to meaningful change, all while nurturing the
wonderful qualities that enable your creativity.
I have nearly a decade of experience supporting individuals dealing with a variety of mental
health challenges in diverse settings, including higher education, private practice, shelter, and
hospital settings. I am also a certified yoga teacher with training in Trauma-Informed Yoga. I am
culturally responsive, anti-racist, and LGBTQ affirmative in my approach, meaning that I work
to be inclusive of all lived experiences and consider how aspects of your identity may influence
your struggles and your strengths. I also engage in self-reflection on how my own identities and
lived experiences may influence how I show up as your therapist. As a creative myself, creativity
is an important part of my well-being. I love to write poetry, dance, make collages, see theatrical
performances, and immerse myself in all types of art.
By considering therapy, you are taking a meaningful and courageous step toward being an active
participant in your life. If my background and approach sounds like it may be a good fit, I’d love
to hear from you.

"Great communication starts with a great connection. I have been working with individuals and couples since 2015, and I can help you move through and heal the hurt so you can get back to having a life of love and intimacy. It's really easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we are supposed to go it alone and having other people walking alongside us can feel vulnerable. Life is full of challenges; everything from parenting, to work stress, to finding the balance between work, life, and play. Things don't always need to be taken overly seriously, and sometimes the best treatment is finding something to laugh about.
Sometimes when our relationships break down, what we need is to heal on our own. Maybe you feel lonely and disconnected in your relationship, or maybe you struggle to see your own inner worth. Either way, asking for help can be hard. I'm here to be a support, a guide, and occasionally someone to drop a truth bomb or two on you.
I know what it's like to come back from a failed relationship. I can help you heal your relationship or I can help you recover from a broken one. Reach out and I will gladly walk with you and help your pain find its place!"

Trauma (Includes Training in Neurofeedback), Polyvagal Theory, Grief and Loss, Motivational

Welcome to the new path you have chosen on your mental health journey. I would be honored
to be a guide and advocate as you start on this road less traveled. Anxiety, depression, and
trauma, if left unexamined and unprocessed, can take on lives of their own and negatively
affect our ability to live more fulfilling lives.
I like to support clients through the lens of their Brain/Body/Mind. I find that when we allow
ourselves to discover our authentic selves through the interaction of the three, it can be a
transformative and liberating experience. I have benefited from that kind of growth and I
would be humbled and honored to support you on that journey.
It is ever, ever important to be an ally and advocate for my clients. To me, this means creating a
safe, caring, and accepting space to develop a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. I use
several modalities to guide and support my clients to heal and grow including being a Certified
Brainspotting therapist, EMDR Trained, and utilizing Neurophysiological Psychoeducation,
Polyvagal Theory, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am trauma-
informed and a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ folks.
I am excited to get started and help you heal, grow, transform, and thrive as you travel down
this new, exciting life path. Welcome!

Specialties: Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, stress, life transitions, attachment issues, LGBTQIA+, self-compassion, shame/guilt, & relationships.
Finding the right fit for your mental health journey can be daunting. Therapy is vulnerable and powerful, and finding a person to support you in this is important. I firmly believe being a therapist is not about doing something for the client, but being someone for the client. I am here to be that someone for my clients.
There is a misconception in our world that asking for help is weakness, when in fact it’s strength. I’ll be here for you, with no judgement. My therapeutic style is authentic, warm, empathetic, open-minded, and person-centered. I believe each client is the expert of their own life, and I am here to assist along the way. I utilize a strength-based approach that helps my clients learn how to process shame and live their lives with more kindness towards themselves. It is important to learn how to trust ourselves and our own internal validation.
I take my approach from different modalities including, but not limited to, DBT, TF-CBT, Person-Centered, Narrative, Systems-based, and Attachment Theory. I help my clients in discovering who they are, and that they are a gift to this world. You are worthy just by being you, and you are more than enough. I look forward to connecting!
Since I will learn so much about you, I think it’s fair you learn a little about me as well. I grew up in New Jersey (yes on the Jersey Shore) before moving to Colorado where I pursued my Master’s in Counseling Psychology, and I have loved living in this beautiful state ever since! I am the youngest of three girls, and my family have always said I can find the fun and joy in the smallest of things. Outside of work I love reading, cooking, martial arts, walking, listening to podcasts, and spending time with family & friends.”

While this is about you and your therapeutic journey, I firmly believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. For this reason, I offer a little about me so that you can determine if we would be a good fit for working together. I have had the pleasure of helping people in transition for several years. I possess a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Indiana University and a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I support adolescents, individuals, and couples as they work through interpersonal conflicts. My intention working with each client is that they are heard, validated, and offered a wider range of skills and tools to navigate their different environments. My therapeutic style is empathetic, supportive, and engaged. I integrate experiential frameworks backed by research to inform my approach, and value open communication as meaning is being shaped between an individual or a system. My approach is non-pathologizing, meaning I treat individuals and systems based on presenting therapeutic goals. In honoring this I often pull from methods such as IFS, CBT, Solution Focused, EFT, Gottman, and Bowenian interventions. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside others as they work towards their goals. Please come as you are, there are no expectations.

Specialties: Stress, relationships, women's issues, children and teens, ADHD
There are many ups and downs that life brings, and we all need support in processing our emotions and experiences. I offer a highly individualized therapeutic approach, meeting my clients where they are in their mental health journey. I utilize empathetic listening and supportive communication to create a safe, welcoming space to discuss any and all topics, big and small. Therapy should be a judgment-free zone. My goal is to help my clients reach their highest potential and live a more harmonious, and happier life.
I have experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as well as stress / burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, relationships and family dynamics. But, you don’t need to know exactly what you’re seeking help for; we can work through that together.
Some modalities I use in treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based approaches.
I graduated with a bachelor’s in Social Work from Skidmore College, and received a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University in 2016. For the past few years, I’ve worked in Aurora Public Schools supporting students in developing skills to increase their emotional intelligence and ability to cope with life's stressors. In my personal life I enjoy hiking, cooking and spending time with family.

Taking the first step to consider therapy can be exciting, nerve-wracking, and scary all at the same time. I like to establish a warm, genuine connection with my clients in order to cultivate a sense of trust and safety when we meet. I assist clients in establishing goals and milestones they would like to meet in life and create a plan to help them get there. I believe that unresolved trauma and/or grief is often the reason we may feel hindered or stuck in life, and that by processing past hurts, losses, and traumas, we are more free to be the best versions of ourselves; our true selves. I believe through a lens of self-compassion and acceptance, we can begin to be more kind to ourselves and heal our critical inner voice. Finally, getting clear about our values will help guide our actions, which in turn, helps us to create a purposeful life based on what we believe to be meaningful- not necessarily what the world, society, or family tries to tell us "should be" important.
In my work with couples I utilize Gottman method. The first session we meet together to get an idea of what needs to be improved upon, what issues bring you to couple's therapy, and a general sense of how the interactions and communication are in the relationship. In the second session, we split our time with each partner for individual sessions and I continue my assessment on the pillars that research shows are most important to lasting relationships (the sound relationship house). In the third session, I share a detailed report assessing both your strengths and areas of growth as a couple so that we have a road map of goals to work towards in a tangible, productive way. Current and past clients often express they appreciate that Gottman method offers a structured plan and approach that helps them to start making positive changes in their relationship immediately.
I have a professional background working in K-12 education, higher education, and counseling in the non-profit sector before I opened New Vision Counseling in 2019. I have pursued my passion for couple's therapy and helping people process through trauma by receiving additional trainings in DBT, Gottman Method, trauma-informed care, and EMDR. I am currently working on additional training and consultation to become an advanced certified EMDR therapist. In my free time, I enjoy exploring nature with my two little dachshunds and discovering new coffee shops and bakeries around Denver.

I can understand how hard it is to find a therapist that can relate and really understand. I have been there, and this is what lead me to pursue a career as a Mental Health Therapist. After spending years in HR and in the education system I saw a need and desire to reach people on a deeper level and help them with areas of everyday struggles without the stigma of shame or judgment. I pursued my calling and graduated from Colorado Christian University with a Master of Arts in Counseling.
By having worked in a school setting I can understand the struggles and pressure and stress that youths are facing. In addition, I have also worked with adults with substance abuse and incarcerated individuals. With my vast experience working with many different ages and populations I am able to identify a person’s needs and work with them in the change process by offering encouragement and without judgement. I help clients with relationship issues, life transitions, conflict resolution, grief / loss, personal growth, and life management issues such as difficulty coping, anxiety, depression, pre-marital, marital, divorce recovery, self-esteem, stress management, work/life balance, boundaries, and assertiveness skills. I enjoy working with all age groups from 10-100.
My approach to therapy is somewhat different. Yes, we do talk about feelings and emotions, however, I work with my clients through the change process and developing a better self. I start by developing a safe comfortable environment and really get to know who my clients are. My clients would say that I, challenge and empower them to make healthier emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and behavioral choices. Clients will benefit from an eclectic therapeutic approach that draws from client centered, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused.
I am a mother of two active teenagers, so most weekends you will see me being the team mom at their events. I enjoy family time by hiking, cycling, paddle boarding, movies, and board games. My friends say I am a kid at heart and can see the good in every situation. My motto, “Live for Today”.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Trauma, either in our past or present can affect the way we react in sensitive circumstances. Significant life changes like a move, new job, or new relationship may also have an effect on how you are able to handle certain situations. You may want to discover the why, or you may just want to figure out a solution to regulate the turbulence. Whatever your goals may be, we can work through them together.
Sometimes we all just need a safe space to talk where we don't feel judged and can reflect on our own thoughts. That's why I offer a strengths based, person centered environment so we can work together to create goals you want to achieve. Usually, you know what's best for you, and I'm here to offer the tools and support to find that.
I am here to help you at your own pace and comfort. Please do not hesitate to reach out via phone or email when you feel ready.
