About My Clients

As an LGBTQ+ professional, you're overwhelmed and stressed out at work, you have a sneaking suspicion that you really need to try EMDR for past trauma you carry around, and while you found a great partner, you don't want to repeat old patterns and need some relationship help. Things might look good on paper, but you know you're stretched too thin and you're exhausted. I help professionals of any gender to heal trauma, enjoy relationships, and make work suck less.

My Background and Approach

I’m an Denver LGBT therapist providing EMDR therapy in Denver with a decade of experience. I’m terrible at pop culture and I love puns. As one of the counselors in Denver, my goal for my clients is to have a sustainable life where you can thrive. I want you to feel like you can navigate what life throws at you, even if it’s hard. I’m deeply invested in finding out what works for you (vs. anyone else). I’m less likely to promote something as “healthy” in therapy and more likely to ask you how it’s working for you. You get to determine what matters to you, what your values are, and we rely on this heavily as our guide toward a sustainable life with the work and relationships you want. Depending on what you need, I can give you communication tools, help you set boundaries, guide you in beating imposter syndrome, or use EMDR to help you heal past trauma. I’ll be a co-philosopher with you about life and what you want to get out of it. We'll (hopefully) laugh and be human together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I knew what that was, and my friends nicknamed me “the psychiatrist” on the playground as a kid. I love people—their stories, dreams, and quirks—and I’m not a big fan of small talk, so this work has been a good fit. I’m deeply grateful for the work I get to do and consider it a privilege that I talk to people about how to do life well every day. I am a queer professional who’s faced imposter syndrome, burnout, and started my own business to create a sustainable life where I can thrive. I’m on my own journey of learning to rest and pursue the things I most value in life. I want to walk alongside others in creating lives we love that feel sustainable. In my free time, you’ll catch me scrambling to finish the latest book for my murder mystery book club, doing yoga, or watching trashy dating shows. It's called balance, okay? I'm looking forward to talking so we can get to know each other more! :)
