My Services
Therapy can feel more approachable and comforting when you don’t have to do it alone. My black lab, Griz, is often part of sessions, offering a calm and grounding presence. Research shows that animal-assisted sessions can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and help people feel more connected during the therapeutic process.
Griz is a companion who helps create a safe, welcoming space. Many clients find that his gentle presence makes it easier to open up and feel supported. Whether you’re a teen, a parent, or someone navigating big life changes, animal-assisted services can add warmth and connection to your therapy experience.

Support for Students, Teens, and College Transitions
As both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed School Counselor (LSC), I offer specialized support for teens and young adults facing the unique challenges of high school and the transition to college. I understand the pressures of academic performance, the overwhelm of college applications, and the emotional ups and downs that come with preparing for adulthood.
Common concerns I help with:
Academic anxiety and perfectionism
Time management and motivation
Worries about the future or “not being good enough”
Stress related to grades, AP/IB classes, or extracurricular load
Decision-making about colleges, majors, and career paths
Identity shifts and self-confidence as students prepare to leave home
Whether your student is struggling to keep up, overworking themselves to the point of burnout, or simply feeling uncertain about what's next, therapy can help them gain clarity, calm, and confidence.
Parents: If you're unsure how to support your teen during this big transition, you're not alone. I'm here to help guide the process compassionately and collaboratively.
Becoming a mother is one of the most meaningful transitions in life—but it can also be one of the hardest. From the pressures of pregnancy and postpartum recovery to the daily demands of raising children, motherhood often comes with challenges that feel overwhelming, isolating, or even unexpected.
As both a therapist and a mom, I understand how complicated and exhausting this season can feel. Many mothers tell me they want a therapist who truly “gets it”—someone who doesn’t just know the theory but has walked through sleepless nights, endless to-do lists, and the emotional ups and downs of raising children. When you’re talking about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes heavy parts of motherhood, it helps to sit with someone who shares that lived experience. My perspective as both a professional and a parent allows me to meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical support by providing therapy for moms.
In our work together, I provide a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. Whether you are adjusting to life with a newborn, navigating the mental load of family life, or searching for yourself outside of being “mom,” therapy can give you the chance to breathe, process, and feel supported.
My goal is to help you feel grounded and confident in your role while still staying connected to who you are as a whole person, not just as a mother.

Life Transitions and Personal Growth
Change, even positive change, can bring stress, uncertainty, and questions about identity. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, relationship changes, parenthood, or simply wanting to grow in new directions, therapy for life transitions provides space to explore what’s next.
I offer counseling for personal growth and life transitions in Lone Tree, CO, and the surrounding areas. Together, we’ll explore the emotions that come with big changes, uncover your strengths, and identify the values that guide you forward. Many clients find that this work not only helps them adjust but also leads to greater confidence and direction.
I help clients process the emotions that come with big changes while also identifying their strengths and values. Together, we’ll work on building resilience, clarifying goals, and creating a sense of stability during times that may feel anything but steady. Therapy isn’t just for crisis, it can also be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
Anxiety and Stress Management
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and anxiety or chronic stress can make it hard to focus, sleep, or simply enjoy each day. I provide therapy for anxiety and stress management that helps you understand your triggers, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.
Whether you’re a teen struggling with school pressure, a parent balancing multiple roles, or anyone navigating life’s challenges, we’ll work together to create tools and techniques that help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control. My therapy services for anxiety and stress management in Lone Tree, CO, offers a safe, supportive space to process your worries and strengthen your emotional well-being.
Relationships and Communication
Healthy relationships are central to our well-being, but they can also be challenging. Whether you’re navigating friendships, romantic partnerships, or family dynamics, therapy for relationships and communication can help you express your needs, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts.
I work with clients to improve communication skills, navigate difficult conversations, and foster stronger, more supportive connections. This support is valuable for teens, young adults, parents, or anyone looking to strengthen their relationships while maintaining their own sense of identity and balance.
Self-Esteem and Identity Support
Feeling confident in yourself and your decisions can be difficult, especially during periods of change or personal growth. Therapy for self-esteem and identity support helps you explore who you are, understand your strengths, and build a positive sense of self.
Whether you’re a teen figuring out your place in the world, a young adult navigating independence, or an adult exploring life transitions, we’ll work together to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, and clarity. This counseling focuses on empowering you to live authentically and pursue your goals with self-assurance.
