I provide individual therapy in Colorado for anxiety, trauma, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, relationship challenges, and personality disorders. I have extensive experience working with adults who developed deeply rooted coping patterns during childhood. During childhood, these patterns helped them survive difficult circumstances. As adults, the coping patterns create challenges with extreme emotions, unstable relationships, and low self-esteem. My clients have often been told that they have “mood swings,” or that they are “manipulative” and “controlling.” What they really want is to feel safe, have meaningful relationships, and live a fulfilling life, but these goals always feel out of reach. I use scientifically supported therapy to help my clients learn more effective ways to meet their needs while also having a fulfilling life.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Carroll University in 2011. I completed my graduate training in Clinical Psychology at the APA Accredited Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2016. My APA accredited internship was with Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. I have provided therapy to hundreds of clients through the Department of Veterans Affairs, partial hospitalization programs, Department of Corrections, and private practice. I currently lead outpatient mental health teams within the Department of Veterans Affairs.

I grew up in a small city on the coast of Lake Michigan, just south of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Outside of work, I love hiking in the mountains, playing soccer, falling graciously while attempting to ski, and rooting for the Green Bay Packers.
