I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver. I have been in the human services field since 2001. Because research shows that trauma and perceived difficult events in children’s lives can cause both emotional and physical stress and symptoms, Synergetic Play Therapy helps teach children to learn to self regulate, which can enhance and improve overall well­being and development.

Due to the flexibility of the play therapy model, I can help children with a wide array of worries, concerns, pain and fear.

Prior to the opening of my private practice, I have extensive experience working with children and families involved with the Department of Human Services. My prior experience has primarily been focused on working with children and parents faced with PTSD and complex trauma. I have specialized skills in working with victims of domestic violence (children and adult survivors) as well as sexual abuse/assault. I have experience working with the Criminal Justice System, the Dependency and Neglect Court System and Civil/Family Court. I have been qualified as an expert witness in the area of child protection.

On a personal level, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.   We enjoy camping, attending sporting events, watching movies, riding bikes and observing the beauty of Colorado.

My experience has been primarily working with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse/neglect. My approach is to learn about you as a whole person and identify creative avenues to inspire change based on your needs and individual strengths. I have worked with many families, in many settings, experiencing some of the most difficult life events one can imagine. I have seen people make tremendous changes and heal even when they once thought it would be impossible to recover. I believe this can happen for anyone who is ready and willing to work toward the goal of healing.

I believe in the partnership of clinician and client to develop realistic goals to work towards personal growth through the use of therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Client Centered Therapy. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, we can work together to formulate a plan to support your goals and growth in these areas.

My aim is not only to assist in healing trauma, but in rebuilding regulation skills, impulse control, and gaining self-awareness.

Throughout my career, I have learned the value of building relationships and forming sincere connections. I believe in providing a space for children that feels safe, validating, and motivating.
