Two of my passions in life are: working with children and growing a garden. I have found that there are many parallels between the two. Both children and seeds have so much potential already packed inside of them. However, they each require external sources to help them get on the path of positive growth. In that light, I would like to help both parents and children navigate that path through our sessions together. My goal is to provide a positive environment in three main ways. First, help children find their voice through play. Second, teach and model social and behavioral skills to children so they can have skills to navigate their world. And third, help foster emotional resilience in children as they work through personal challenges. By helping children in these three ways, it is my hope that confidence will grow within themselves so they can blossom into their full potential.
I graduated with Masters of Counseling degree from Adams State University in Mental Health Counseling. I have had over 20 years experience working with children and adolescents through a variety of professional and volunteer work. My undergraduate degree was in Child Development from Brigham Young University. I have worked with children as young as 18 months all the way through the young adult years. I use an integrative approach which includes nondirective and directive play therapy, sandtray therapy and EMDR.

Watching your child face mental health challenges can be an incredibly heartbreaking experience as a parent—you want nothing more than to fix it for them. Working with children has been a passion of mine, my whole life. When I see that a child is struggling with their mental health, as a parent, I know how hard that must be for the whole family. No one should ever feel isolated in this experience.
I’ve always had a passion for working with children, a love that has been part of me for as long as I can remember. What I find especially powerful about play therapy is how it allows children to process their emotions in the way they know best—through play. It’s a natural and meaningful way for them to navigate their feelings and experiences.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and our animals. We have dogs, cats,
and horses. I also enjoy watching movies, reading, and crafting. Crocheting is my latest
obsession.
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and School Counseling from Denver
Seminary in Denver, Colorado and my Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. My counseling approach is eclectic with a narrative base. Meaning that I believe everyone has a story to tell and from there my approach is based on your situation and what your goals are. I also use direct and non-direct play therapy depending on what is going to be most beneficial for you. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and grief.

At my core, I value connection and self-expression. I believe that the stories we weave about our lives—shaped by our experiences, culture, and environments—play a pivotal role in how we understand ourselves and the world. As a queer therapist and creative writer, I’ve seen the transformative power of rewriting these narratives to foster healing, resilience, and growth. This perspective fuels my passion for supporting children, adolescents, couples, and families as they navigate challenges and discover their strengths.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in narrative theory, which emphasizes the impact of reframing our stories to create new possibilities. I integrate creative expression, the art of play, and systemic perspectives to cultivate environments that empower clients and foster self-assurance. I am currently earning my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Syracuse University, an AAMFT-accredited program, and hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts with a focus in Psychology and Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College. My professional background includes experience in fast-paced environments, particularly in technology’s role in preventative care. Additionally, my volunteer work with LGBTQ+ communities, refugees, and gun violence prevention has strengthened my commitment to advocacy and systemic change.

I have had a passion for children and adolescents for over 20 years. I have always enjoyed being around kids and especially found that I felt the best when being supportive. My journey began as a mentor with children in the foster care system and then I proceeded to work with teenagers that had been expelled, suspended or had dropped out of school or had found themselves in trouble with the law. Through the years, I have come to love the younger ages as well. I believe that infants and toddlers' mental health is just as important as adolescents and adults mental health. Oftentimes, early intervention can change the entire path for a young child. Most of all, I know that all children can be resilient, even in the face of the hardest challenges, if given the opportunity, and if they have a strong support system. My hope is that I can help ensure that the children I work with are resilient through a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe that sometimes it does take a village to raise a family. I believe that we, humans, need each other and that people should NEVER struggle alone.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. I earned a Master's degree in Counseling from Regis University. I have specialization and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent Counseling and specialized training in EMDR (further information can be found at www.emdria.org). I previously served as President of the Colorado Association for Play Therapy (further information can be found at www.coloradoapt.org). When working with children and families, I utilize non directive and directive play therapy techniques. I believe that children work through their issues while playing and gain insight about themselves as well as find healing. When working with adolescents, I tend to use more relationship building and allow the adolescent to guide the session. I believe that most people search for wholeness and therefore hold the answers and the healing inside. Sometimes, it just takes a little guidance. When working with families and parents, I use a collaborative approach. Let's face it, you know your child the best and most. Therefore, we will pair together as a united team and solve the concerns together.
