Ketamine Treatment Clinic

I completed my undergraduate degree at Purdue University in Health and Human Services and my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis.

I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients through various modalities to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am a firm believer that you are the expert in your life. I didn’t live through your experiences, you did. I see my job as being to walk alongside you and help you sort life out by pointing out themes and asking deepening questions to help guide and support you.

I am from Dallas, TX and have been practicing as an LCSW in Colorado since February 2019. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and psychology. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Master of Social Work degree in 2018.

I have done intensive in-home therapy, family therapy, and provided crisis management services. I have worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital setting with adults and adolescents, as well as a school-based setting.

I utilize a holistic, non-direct, client-centered, and strengths-based therapeutic style.  I am equipped with a unique and personalized combination of cognitive and experiential techniques such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, inner child work, attachment-based interventions, and approach clients with a trauma-focused lens. 

I specialize in helping people navigate the effects of traumatic events, reparent their inner child, and reconstruct identities from a place of self-compassion, wisdom, personal values, and conscious choices.

I provide a warm and compassionate safe space to meet you where you’re at and walk alongside you to create a wholehearted life as your favorite Self.

Current Ketamine Therapy Medical Provider and Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner. Retired ICU RN of 9 years.

I have personally lived through a traumatic injury and other major life changes which turned out to be a blessing professionally, as I have truly learned first-hand the challenges and needs of a patient.  I also worked diligently as a bedside ICU nurse during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.  My unique personal and professional healthcare experiences give me a level of motivation, maturity, and compassion that distinguishes me from other providers.

I am a Colorado Native and love spending time in the mountains. Work-life balance is important to me, when I’m not working, I enjoy off-roading in my Jeep, hiking, paddle-boarding, swimming, reading, swimming and going on adventures with my three sweet dogs who are my kids.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Colorado State University in 2004, and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University in 2018.  

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and aim to provide a welcoming, safe space where you can fully be yourself. I believe we all have the capacity to grow, learn, and change, and have innate strengths to draw upon. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to be alongside you.

My counseling approach considers your needs and personality while incorporating theory and techniques from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy. Together we will work to make positive changes in your life, working in a holistic manner that addresses the mind, body, emotions, spirit, and social environment.

I look forward to connecting with you!
