About Me

  • Education

    Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from Texas Tech University (2014)

    Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from University of Denver (2017)

  • Counseling Philosophy

    My style of counseling, relational cultural therapy, is rooted in attachment theory, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory, and multiculturalism. I believe humans thrive with meaningful connection; connection to the self, to others, and to our environments. I hope to walk alongside you in your healing journey to support your goals, reduce emotional distress, and improve your overall wellness and life satisfaction.

  • Background

    I was born and raised in a small town in New Mexico, where I was surrounded by a large and loving family. I now live in the Denver Metro area in Colorado after moving here for graduate school in 2015. I have felt called to the field of mental health because it’s an area of wellness where we have the opportunity to take control, transform, and build our lives around the things most meaningful to us. I believe we all have the capacity to evolve and deepen our connection with ourselves and others.
