I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed addiction counselor, working in Fort Collins, Colorado. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Spanish from Colorado State University. Go Rams! I started practicing after graduation in December of 2016, after having already worked milieu management for adolescent residential treatment for offense-specific youth. I went on to work at a variety of levels of care, including traditional outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential care. I have also worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient offices, residential facilities, jails, schools, and in the community.
I use a person-centered approach to therapy, knowing that no one knows you better than you! I am trauma-informed and specialize in treating trauma and substance use disorders. I work to ensure that our time together is safe and structured how you need it to be to genuinely honor your experiences and goals.
I am a Colorado native, though I love to travel, especially if scuba diving is involved! I enjoy being in the kitchen baking a variety of confections. I love a good book, and despite my years of dedication to hardcovers, have recently discovered the ease of a Kindle. My favorite thing to do is spend quality time with my daughter, husband, and menagerie of animals!
