I am a graduate of the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work and have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults who experience high levels of anxiety and vulnerable nervous systems. I first began my journey as a social work intern supporting children and families at Blue Sky Bridge here in Boulder, CO and have since worked in both clinical and community based settings. I offer a wide variety of modalities and tools as each individual benefits from their own treatment plan unique to them. These modalities may include play therapy, CBT, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy.
My experience has ranged from working with young children who have big behaviors, to adults with high levels of complex trauma, all due to vulnerable nervous systems. As a social worker, I believe in the power of family and community systems work and frequently incorporate family members and school professionals in the treatment planning process.
As a mental health professional, I believe therapy should be designed to provide us with a safe space to express ourselves, and that my role as a therapist is to help individuals understand the “why” behind their emotional experiences through their own self lead therapeutic journey.
