Hello!  

I grew up in Fort Collins, CO and when it came time for me to attend college, I was torn on whether to become an English teacher or a mental health therapist. As a first-generation college student and the oldest child in my family, I didn’t have any guidance on how to make such a decision and was basing my choice on a handful of tidbits I was confident about: I knew I wanted to help people, I was an avid reader endlessly fascinated by the human condition, and I’d often been told I was a good listener.

​

I ultimately chose to pursue a career in education, but in my fifteen-year career in the field, the invisible pull to become a therapist followed me around. My desire to change careers was further solidified after the birth of my second child when I experienced postpartum anxiety. I felt out of control and would have prolonged bouts of all-consuming worry that affected me mentally, physiologically, and emotionally. Therapy helped me learn how to live my life—in all its complicated, challenging glory—by cultivating resilience and a deep sense of well-being, and I am passionate about helping my clients do the same.

​

Now I live in Longmont, CO with my husband and two young children. I love reading, taking long walks, being silly with my kids, and doing puzzles while listening to podcasts (nerd alert!)
