About Me

***PLEASE NOTE*** I am not able to accept referrals for new clients. I work within a closed hospital system, and do not have a private practice. My passion and clinical focus is on the intersections of LGBTQ+ identities, Complex-PTSD, and substance use disorders. Minority stress and systemic oppression are risk factors for mental illness and substance use, and I use my clinical skills to support my clients in their process toward recovery and integration with the self. I practice from a mostly EMDR Therapy lens, with application of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I teach at MSU Denver’s MS in addiction counseling program as well as CU Denver's MA in counseling program.
