Ketamine Treatment Clinic

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.

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!

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.

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.
