I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. I spent the previous decade living in Alaska, where I completed my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Alaska in Anchorage and gained clinical experience working with diverse individuals, couples and families. Solution-focused and cognitive behavioral strategies are a cornerstone of my work, as well as use of mindfulness and stress reduction skills. I am experienced at supporting people coping with symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma, as well as other common life experiences, such as career and relationship changes, parenting challenges, and grieving the loss of a loved one . My training in Gottman Institute couples therapy can be applied to a range of concerns, from growing a family to working through affairs and trauma. Additionally, as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider through Postpartum Support International, I want to support women, men and their families through the massive changes that accompany pregnancy and the postpartum period. I believe in the resilience of people and that emotional healing is possible. I take pride in building a professional relationship with clients quickly, through empathy, compassion and even humor when appropriate. I would be honored to walk alongside you on the journey to wellness.
