About Me:
I am a Colorado Springs Native and love the outdoors with exploring its beauty. I love history/museums, finding new coffee shops or restaurants, and love Star Wars or Marvel/DC as well. Sometimes in life, we hide our pain or get stuck on the how of life; however, starting counseling is a courageous act on the path to finding the why. My why is to help the community that I grew up in with genuine compassion for each person who is struggling and I feel Diversus Health is a great company focused on making mental health available to everyone.
My philosophy on mental health is that we must heal the mind and body together because they both can hold on to things. The mind can get stuck in loops of negative thoughts or stories in the forms of shame, fear, or resentment. Like gardening, weeds can take over and the only way to reduce them is pulling out the roots. Together we get to the root causes, look at them rationally, and build a toolkit.
You are the expert for your life, I just act as a guide. It can feel like a 14er when starting counseling, but I will be there every step of the way. I am here as a listener, collaborator, helper to extract meaning, and builder of your strengths or help find new ones. I look forward to our journey together and seeing what your new story will be.
