My journey to becoming a psychotherapist was a winding road. I have had many careers in my life and lived in many places. I found counseling when I finally realized I was my most happiest when I was connecting on a deep level with people and witnessing their own unique journeys in life. I believe our path to healing comes from learning to embrace all the parts of ourselves that scare us, and to break down our own barriers to engaging with the world in a way that is most meaningful to us.

I obtained a Master of Counseling from Regis University in Denver. I have also worked with many different types of people in wilderness and city settings both in treatment and non-treatment environments for over two decades. My experience includes but is not limited to people with disabilities, young people in the justice system, LGBTQIA+ youth, and indigenous communities.
