who I work with:
I help neurodivergent adults, those exploring LGBTQIA+ identities, and trauma survivors to conquer their shame, depression, and anxiety so they can enjoy fulfilling relationships.
​
As a neurodivergent adult with ADHD, autism, or both, you might experience feelings of shame around your identity, even feeling that you have to put on a mask for the world. Or you might be wondering about LGBTQIA+ identities, exploring polyamory, or kink-curious, but feel afraid of judgment. You might be coping with your depression or anxiety with chronic busy-ness, isolation, alcohol, other substances, or even sex.
​
If you are a survivor of profound loss, trauma, or narcissistic abuse, you may be feeling disconnected from others. You long for successful, close relationships, but find yourself struggling to put yourself out there. You wonder if you’ll ever be good enough. Maybe you find yourself ignoring red flags for the sake of love and connection, or bending over backwards for others, constantly feeling like you have to prove your worth. You may feel that having needs or wants of your own are not nearly as important as what others want or need.
​
You know that something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start. If your feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and exhaustion are becoming too much, I can help.
how therapy with me can help you:
It might feel impossible to get to where you want – having someone to navigate the chaos with can help. Our work together will lighten the heavy weight of shame and allow you to lift the mask you’ve been wearing for so long. I can help you feel happy and fulfilled again. Together we can work on communication in your relationships while being true to yourself. Our time together will look like talking things out, building skills, and often, deep, wholesome laughs. I will be by your side, holding the torch as you figure out who you are and how to authentically be in the world.
about me:
​
As a survivor of trauma and loss myself, I empathize with the journey of healing. In my practice, there’s always room for authentic moments, significant discoveries, raw emotions, and genuine laughter. I too have had struggles in finding my identities – my work has encompassed research, veterinary medicine, and I was even an auto mechanic before I became a therapist. I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis University. I have special training in working with dreams and nightmares, as well as training in the Gottman Method for relationship counseling.
​
Outside of therapy, I love spending time camping, playing video games, reading, and dancing. You can also find me working on my cars, often with my two kitties hanging out in the garage with me!
