I’m currently licensed in Colorado to practice under clinical supervision as a Clinical Social Worker and an Addictions Counselor Candidate. I diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. I work with people from all walks of life with many ​different​ reasons​​ for seeking help. I've found that no matter the reason for seeking treatment, it comes down to coping with life transitions. I want to help you experience life transitions with ease and comfort. I believe that by learning about our thinking and making changes, we can experience peace and joy even during the most difficult situations. My therapist role is to take a holistic approach to addressing your emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. Using this integrative technique often leads to making referrals to community-based services and other resources. I look forward to meeting you.
