I’m originally from Nebraska, but I’ve spent most of my life here in beautiful Colorado. I’ve been happily married since 2004, and I’m a proud mom to two amazing teenagers who keep me very busy. A lot of my time is spent cheering them on in their various sports and activities, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I do get some time to myself, I love being outside—boating, camping, or just catching up with friends.

Before starting my career as a therapist, I spent eight meaningful years as a stay-at-home mom. When my kids were both in school, I went back to graduate school to pursue what I’ve felt called to do since sixth grade. Taking time to focus on my family before launching into this work gave me a deeper sense of empathy and perspective—things I now bring with me into every session. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported, no matter where you’re starting from or what you’re struggling with.
