About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, identity development, and emotionally overwhelming life experiences.

I am especially passionate about supporting parents through traumatic and medically stressful perinatal experiences.

Areas of Focus

  • Birth trauma

  • Postpartum anxiety & hypervigilance

  • Pregnancy complications

  • Feeding/chestfeeding trauma or stress

  • Medical trauma & invalidating healthcare experiences

  • Parents navigating infant food allergies, sensitivities, or feeding complications

  • Grief, overwhelm, and identity shifts in early parenthood

Many of the parents I work with feel exhausted, constantly “on alert,” overwhelmed by medical decision-making, or alone in experiences that felt frightening, isolating, or invalidating.

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based. I primarily use EMDR and Ego State Therapy to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce nervous system overwhelm, and build greater internal connection, self-trust, and healing.

I am EMDR Certified, an EMDR Approved Consultant, and Training Faculty with Trauma Therapist Institute. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and am the founder of the Colorado EMDR Therapists Facebook group.

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized populations.

You do not have to carry all of this alone. Therapy can be a space for healing, support, and reconnecting with yourself in the midst of overwhelming experiences.
