Denver, CO
Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, Board Certified Music Therapist
I’m a seasoned trauma specialist and educator with many years of diverse experience in the mental health and wellness fields. My therapeutic approach blends the art and science of healing with a deep respect for the whole person and the innate wellness within them. I also have a passion for helping my fellow therapists learn and grow alongside their clients.
I earned my MA from New York University, and I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist and Creative Arts Therapist. I’m also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, Functional Medicine and Trauma Specialist, and Board-Certified Music Therapist specializing in music psychotherapy.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals – from veterans and first responders to hospice and oncology patients. I’ve utilized a variety of treatment modalities, including somatic and expressive therapies, NLP, EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, hypnosis, and more. While each were beneficial, none provided the complete resolution of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) while also being so gentle, safe, and accessible for such a broad range of clients.
With ART, I love watching my clients reclaim the joy and freedom they deserve! I value ART’s holistic and creative elements, how easily it facilitates somatic release, and how empowering and client-centered it is. I’m just as passionate about teaching ART and supporting fellow therapists in feeling more confident, connected, and fulfilled in their work while also preventing burnout.
Trainees often describe me as warm and relatable with a teaching approach that’s clear and easy to follow. I value individual learning styles and strive to create an environment where it’s comfortable to ask questions, share openly and learn deeply. I blend a holistic mindset with a strong foundation in neuroscience to provide a well-rounded understanding of the art and science of ART. My highest priority is for every participant to complete their training feeling not just capable, confident, and empowered – but excited to use ART right away to help more people heal and thrive!
In addition to my ART-based private practice, I’ve partnered with organizations nationwide to deliver wellness programs and trauma-informed trainings, including the US Department of Veterans Affairs, NY State Office of Mental Health, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and many more.
