About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker and an EMDR certified therapist practicing in Aurora, CO. I primarily work with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I hope to create a warm, playful environment that supports young people in accessing self-compassion, creating meaningful connections, and finding purpose.
