Bringing awareness and action to your sense of self and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is practical, welcoming, and personal. I use a collaborative approach based on strengths. I thoughtfully choose therapeutic interventions that suit your situation and beliefs about personal change. I am passionate about understanding you as an individual, couple, family, and your world.
I Am Here To Help…
I believe in the value of an excellent therapeutic approach, which has made me understand that counseling people is unique. There is no universal approach that works for all. My approach begins with learning about you, being able to think about your concerns, and devising new ways to change.
How I Work
My therapeutic approach consists of different approaches however one of the key concepts is self-realization. Helping my clients becomes aware of their own abilities and potentials. By knowing their inner ability, they will be able to live their lives to overcome any challenge they might have in the future or any obstacle that might try to prevent them from making positive changes. My approach places you as a client first, without judgment.
About Me
I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a BA in Psychology and then pursued a Masters in Social Work at the University of Denver.
As a therapist, I support and enable my clients in overcoming their personal challenges. People are unique and their concerns will be different, which is why my approaches are tailored according to the needs of my clients.
​
My clients are families, couples, and individuals with issues related to relationships, LGBTQ, trauma, and performance anxiety. Regardless of who you are, what you think of your state of mind, or your struggles, I am here to help you through.
