You’re here because you long to grow, connect, and thrive while managing the emotional distress associated with perinatal mental health and fertility challenges, disordered eating, and traumatic life events. At Simply Known, we help people navigate life’s challenges by being seen, validated, and heard.

I’m a licensed therapist, coach, and supervisor who believes that powerful and effective therapy helps people feel seen, heard, and known.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified Play Therapist, trained in EMDR. I specialize in helping adults find healing, achieve growth, and thrive. I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Denver and my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Avila University. I have extensive post-graduate training in outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and post-graduate training programs.  I have worked in inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient clinic settings, as well as developed and maintained an outpatient group therapy program.

Throughout my journey as a therapist, I have sought training in Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).  These therapies are effective in helping teenagers and adults to manage BIG feelings, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, depression, grief and loss, interpersonal struggles, and life transitions. I offer a safe and warm environment to help clients connect with their value and worth; true healing comes from the courage to be vulnerable and to share your story.

Also, I specialize in helping clients overcome fears, self-doubts, and pressures to accomplish their dreams. I work collaboratively with clients to help identify their closest-held goals, dreams, and needs. In therapy, I will create a tailored and individualized treatment plan to achieve your goals.  Through courage and vulnerability, we will help you achieve those goals.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, toddler baby girl, two step-children, family and friends.  I love spending time with my dogs, trying new restaurants, practicing yoga, reading, and traveling.
