As a clinician who blends warmth, structure, and humor, I help clients understand their patterns, build emotional insight, and develop the tools to create lasting change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and personality-related challenges. My goal is to help clients recognize patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical tools for growth. I bring humor, honesty, and compassion into each session, meeting clients where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. My approach blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and reality therapy with a relational, down-to-earth style. I believe healing happens through connection, accountability, and genuine collaboration.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a supportive and empowering space where clients can feel understood, build confidence, and grow at their own pace. Healing begins with the courage to reach out.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Denver, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
