Owner | Trauma Therapist for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse
Hybrid | Northglenn, CO
Currently Accepting Clients
Healing from childhood trauma is not surface work — and you deserve a therapist who is willing to go deep with you.
My approach is eclectic and individualized. I draw primarily from:
Psychodynamic therapy
Humanistic and Gestalt approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (when helpful)
The Enneagram as a tool for insight and growth
I incorporate humor when appropriate, and I’m not afraid to be your biggest cheerleader.
Who I Work With
Adult survivors of child abuse
Developmental and childhood trauma
Family of origin wounds
Shame and self-doubt
Anxiety
Relationship concerns
Self-worth and identity work
Life transitions
Helping adult survivors of child abuse is my sweet spot. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to face trauma, pain, and the parts of your story that may still feel heavy.

Feeling truly seen and understood
A warm, non-judgmental presence
Depth - we go as deep as you’re ready to go

My Philosophy
Healing happens when insight meets safety.
Real change happens when courage is met with compassion.
As someone who has personally navigated childhood trauma, I understand how isolating and complex that journey can be. A key part of my own healing was believing that one day, my suffering would help someone else find their way through. That calling is what led me here.
If faith is important to you, I’m always happy to thoughtfully integrate your beliefs into our work.
You’re In the Right Place If…
You’re ready to explore your past with safety and support
You’re tired of coping strategies that don’t stick
You want therapy that feels collaborative and honest
Finding a therapist is a bit like dating - sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right fit.
If I had to describe my style as a metaphor, I’d say I’m a guide holding a lantern on a dark woodland path. We’ll find the way together. I’ll bring the light - and you’ll bring your courage.
