New to Grow
As a licensed therapist in Colorado, I specialize in supporting first responders, dispatchers, military service members, veterans, and their families. I understand that careers built around serving others often require incredible strength and resilience, but they can also come with experiences that are difficult to carry alone. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or adjusting after a critical incident, you don't have to navigate it by yourself. My approach is straightforward, practical, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. Together, we'll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I integrate EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to help you process difficult experiences, better manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and reconnect with the people, activities, and values that matter most to you. My goal is to help you develop practical tools that support lasting healing both inside and outside of our sessions.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals for treatment. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process so you know what to expect moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling comfortable, understood, and confident that we have a plan for moving forward together.
One of my greatest strengths is my experience working with active-duty military service members, veterans, first responders, dispatchers, and their families. This work has given me a deep understanding of trauma, operational stress, life transitions, and the challenges of balancing demanding careers with personal relationships and well-being. I strive to create a space where you don't have to explain the culture of your profession before we begin addressing what you're experiencing. Along with compassion and understanding, I provide practical tools and evidence-based treatment to help you move toward meaningful and lasting change.
I'm best positioned to support first responders, dispatchers, military service members, veterans, and their families who are navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Whether you're processing a specific event or managing the cumulative impact of years in a high-pressure profession, I'll meet you where you are and help you build practical strategies that support healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Other specialties
I identify as
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, distressing life experiences, and negative self-beliefs. In my practice, I use EMDR within a safe, supportive, and client-centered approach. After assessing your needs and building coping skills, we identify experiences that continue to impact your well-being. Through guided bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps the brain reprocess these experiences, reducing emotional distress and promoting healthier perspectives. EMDR can be effective for trauma, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, and other challenges that may be keeping you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you move forward with greater resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals recover from trauma and its lasting effects. Traumatic experiences can shape the way we view ourselves, others, and the world, often leading to feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or self-blame. In my practice, I use CPT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck in distress. Through a structured and supportive process, clients learn to develop more balanced perspectives, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and regain a greater sense of control in their lives. CPT is commonly used to treat PTSD and can also be helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, and difficulties related to traumatic or stressful life experiences. My goal is to help clients build insight, resilience, and confidence as they move toward healing and recovery.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that focuses on solutions rather than problems. I use SFBT to help clients identify their strengths, clarify goals, and build on what is already working in their lives. This approach can be helpful for managing stress, navigating life transitions, improving relationships, and overcoming challenges. By focusing on practical strategies and achievable goals, clients can create meaningful and lasting change.
