As a therapist with a disability, I know firsthand what it feels like to move through a world that isn’t adapted to you. Healing begins when we change how we meet our challenges by learning to work with every part of who we are instead of resisting it. It’s our strengths and vulnerabilities together that make us who we are.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Treatment Victim Advocate with 4 years of experience supporting adults and older teens. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity challenges and simply want to feel better, however that looks like for them. My approach is grounded in meeting you where you are, offering a mix of empathy, real talk, and humor when it fits. While we can’t always control what happens around us, we can learn to cope, connect, and feel more in charge of our story.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver. My style is collaborative and trauma-informed, focusing on validation, emotional regulation, and practical coping tools. I also have extensive experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and individuals with disabilities as they rebuild confidence and rediscover their own voice.
Life can be messy, and healing isn’t about pretending it’s not. Therapy is your space to unpack what’s been weighing you down and find clarity in the chaos. You don’t have to go through it alone, and if you’re ready to start exploring your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Centennial, CO can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Centennial therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
