I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado and Maryland, based in Colorado. I specialize in working with women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people navigating the impact of a loved one’s addiction, those in recovery, individuals facing complex family dynamics, trauma, and relationship challenges. My hope is to help you as we uncover your own resilience and strength, even when it feels impossible.
My practice is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and trust. I use a range of evidence-based approaches and invite ongoing feedback to make sure our work reflects your needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore what no longer serves you and create more space for the things that matter most. My style is warm, direct, and (hopefully) humorous.
Outside of the therapy room, I love being outdoors with my dog (who may make the occasional appearance), hiking, painting, and spending time with loved ones. I believe deeply in community, empowerment, and social justice, and I welcome people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and body sizes.
Life can get tangled and messy, but with the right support, you can find your voice and create a life that feels like your own. One of my favorite poems that has gotten me through a lot of tough times is The Journey by Mary Oliver. This helped me find my voice, and I hope I can help you find yours.
Book a free phone consultation and we’ll have a quick phone call so I can answer any questions you may have and introduce ourselves. I aim to create a safe, brave, and supportive space. Sometimes finding a therapist can be like dating and we want to make sure that it works! If at any point, things don’t feel like they are working then we can talk about that and what will best help you achieve your goals.

Shame
I’m originally from Wisconsin and moved to Denver to pursue my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Denver where I concentrated in mental health and addictions. I also earned a certificate in Animal Assisted Social Work and spent several years co-facilitating therapy with my dog, Lola, in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). She is now retired and enjoys snoring through telehealth sessions.
My career began at a transitional housing program for single mothers, followed by working at UC Health’s Center for Dependency, Addiction, and Rehabilitation (CeDAR). This is where my passion for working with individuals impacted by addiction started. I spent three years at Women’s Recovery, where I served as a Clinical Case Manager, Primary Therapist, and eventually Lead Clinician. In this role, I provided individual therapy, facilitated trauma-informed and psychoeducational groups, and supported women navigating recovery, co-occurring mental health concerns, and complex trauma. My time at Women’s Recovery deepened my commitment to helping women feel empowered and heal in ways that honors their resilience.
My experience
Meet Lola!
Lola has worked with me in the addiction and mental health field for over four years. She’s a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Poodle who loves her people and her toys. I adopted her from a humane society in Wisconsin in 2020, and while we don’t know much about her early life, she’s spent the last few years spreading love and comfort to everyone she meets. In 2022, Lola and I participated in the Professional Therapy Dog of Colorado training.
Lola loves going on walks, giving kisses, playing with her toys, and cuddling as close as she can get. Although she’s now retired from active work, she still occasionally joins telehealth sessions and has a special gift for helping people ground when they’re feeling big emotions. She’s a reminder that healing often happens in quiet, gentle moments—and that unconditional support can come in many forms.
