I am a counselor specializing in working with children of all ages! My work focuses on empowering children, tweens, and teens by fostering healthy emotional regulation and family relationships. I am passionate about thinking of the need for mental health, not as an emergency or as a crisis only occasion, but as a rational way of living a well-rounded, healthy life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Grand County, Colorado. Here I live with my husband, daughter and 2 dogs in this giant outdoor playground we call "home." I am grateful for the support and wisdom I have been given along the way as I have both endured and overcome. Now it's my honor to do the same for you.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience, I help clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth with a grounded, compassionate approach. My work is rooted in the belief that therapy should feel both supportive and empowering—helping you better understand yourself while building tools for lasting change.
I offer a unique blend of traditional and nature-based therapy, creating opportunities for healing both in-session and outdoors. Nature can provide a powerful backdrop for reflection, movement, and new perspective, and I enjoy tailoring the experience to each client’s needs.
Outside of my practice, I love hiking, mountain biking, and spending time with my dog, Luci—activities that continue to inspire my work and my belief in living a connected, balanced life

I value the healing power of the therapeutic relationship in the process of play therapy. My approach is to create a warm and safe environment that allows for connection and trust to develop. My overarching goal is to help the child find empowerment and healing through finding connection with themselves and to help the parent/guardian deepen the relationship with their child.
