I've always been drawn to connecting with people. As with many recovering people pleasers, I have an innate ability to read those around me. But it wasn't until I started my own therapeutic journey that I realized how deeply anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing had impacted me. Therapy taught me to make a “U-turn,” helping me shift my focus away from others and instead explore my own parts and patterns in relationships. I realized all the ways I had been unconsciously trying to protect myself from pain and vulnerability while sacrificing the authenticity I truly craved. I also learned about the significant impact of diet and lifestyle on my mental health and what it really meant to heal from the inside out. I became a therapist because I wanted to help others do the same thing.

As a therapist, I believe that everyone deserves to be truly seen, and sharing our pain with another person is a deeply meaningful experience. I also genuinely believe that you are doing your best at any given moment. It takes immense courage to consider change, and pursuing healing for ourselves is one of the most loving things we can ever do.

I live in Denver, CO with my husband and four children, whom I consider my best teachers. In my free time I enjoy organic gardening, yoga and exploring avenues for holistic health.
