A DIFFERENT KIND OF BEGINNING
If therapy hasn’t felt right before, it makes sense to feel unsure about starting again. Maybe you felt rushed, misunderstood, or expected to fit someone else’s idea of progress.
There’s room to talk about that here, too. We can start with what you need, what hasn’t helped, and what you’d like to feel different. You don’t need a polished story to begin.
You get a say in what we work on, how we work, and what feels helpful.
LESS AUTOPILOT. MORE YOU.
Change doesn’t have to mean becoming someone else. It can mean noticing what you need, choosing what matters, and making a little more room for both.
ANXIETY & OVERWHELM
Untangle the noise and explore practical ways to feel more grounded when your thoughts won’t slow down.
ANGER & BIG EMOTIONS
Understand what’s underneath a strong feeling and practice responding in ways that reflect who you want to be.
DEPRESSION & SELF-ACCEPTANCE
Make space for the hard days, soften the self-criticism, and explore small steps toward a life that feels meaningful.
RELATIONSHIPS & BOUNDARIES
Get to know your needs, communicate more clearly, and recognize what belongs in your life and what no longer fits.
We can also explore the everyday rhythms that support you: movement, nourishment, rest, and people you can lean on.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Colorado Springs, Colorado
MEET THE PERSON YOU’LL BE TALKING TO
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado Springs, and I believe you deserve a place where you can be honest, feel accepted, and get curious about what comes next.
When emotions feel loud or life feels cluttered with everyone else’s advice, it can be hard to hear yourself. I help people work through anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship challenges while reconnecting with what feels meaningful to them.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered on you. I often draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you notice the links between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, and practice skills you can bring into everyday life.
We’ll build our work around your needs, drawing from different approaches as we go. That may mean learning to pause before reacting, finding healthier ways to solve problems, or understanding the patterns that show up in your relationships.
Self-acceptance and gratitude can be part of that work. If forgiveness is meaningful to you, we can explore it at your pace, without making it an expectation. Your boundaries and your experience matter.
I also make room for the whole of your life: how you rest, move, eat, and stay connected. Together, we can identify realistic changes that support the way you want to live.
I offer individual, couples, and family counseling, as well as support for children and teens. If faith is important to you, it can have a place in our conversations. Wherever you’re starting, awareness, authenticity, acceptance, and curiosity guide our work.
