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.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Centennial, CO specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
