At a young age, I was guided by a deep, unshakable curiosity about the human experience—what makes us who we are, how we grow, and how we heal. This curiosity led me to pursue my A Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Hope International University, where I graduated in 2009.

After earning my undergraduate degree in Psychology, I spent nearly a decade working in customer service. While it may seem like an unexpected path, those years taught me some of the most valuable lessons of my career. I learned how to truly listen, how to hold space for others in moments of frustration, and how to meet people where they are—skills that deepened my empathy and strengthened my ability to connect with people on a human level. In hindsight, those experiences were foundational, helping me cultivate the patience, understanding, and presence that are central to my work as a therapist today.

In May 2020, I earned my Master’s in Counseling, completing an internship at the Griffith Centers for Children, where I gained specialized training in trauma-informed practices. Working in this environment gave me firsthand experience supporting children and families navigating complex challenges, solidifying my passion for helping people transform pain into growth.

Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, I bring both professional insight and real-world empathy to my work. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, creativity, and a deep respect for the unique journey of every individual I work with. I believe that healing begins with connection—connection to ourselves, to others, and to the parts of our stories that often feel too tender or too heavy to hold alone.

This path has been shaped by curiosity, compassion, and a belief that we all have the capacity for transformation. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate their own healing, helping them uncover the wisdom and strength that already exists within.
