About
"We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship." – Dr. Harville Hendrix
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 3 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, couples, and families. My background also includes over 15 years in the healthcare field, which has strengthened my ability to help people improve their relationships with themselves, their partners, and their families. My work focuses on helping clients recognize and transform recurring patterns, reduce blame and shame, and create healthier ways of relating that foster understanding, compassion, and connection.
I earned my master’s in marriage and family therapy from Regis University. I use a humanistic, systemic, and experiential approach, integrating emotionally focused therapy, internal family systems, the Gottman method, and relational life therapy to help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns in their lives.
If you struggle with conflict, disconnection, or communication challenges, you’re not alone. It takes courage to ask for support, and taking that step is the first part of healing. I would be honored to walk beside you as you navigate your journey toward growth, self-awareness, and more fulfilling relationships. Let’s work together toward meaningful change.

Self-harm counseling is aimed at helping individuals who struggle with harming themselves break this pattern by addressing the underlying emotional causes and working to develop new, healthier coping skills. Thriveworks self-harm therapists in Westminster, CO are experienced in treating those who self-harm with empathy, compassion, and unconditional regard in order to help them heal and recover, both physically and emotionally.
Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients discover the connections between their thoughts and feelings and their behaviors. By assessing these areas, Thriveworks Westminster therapists can help clients find and address the true emotional roots of their patterns and, from there, effectively adjust unwanted behaviors.
Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of self-harm counseling will often depend on a variety of factors, such as the intensity of an individual’s symptoms or the current levels of stress present in their lives. Because of this, treatment can last a handful of months or on a continual basis over the course of years. In the end, it’s up to the client and their individual needs.
Self-harm is often the only way people know how to express the excruciating life experiences they have survived. They may live with the severe emotions that often come with victimization, trauma, poverty, and more. When people do not know how to process the shame and the pain, they may express the emotional pain through physical pain.
If you or someone you love uses cutting or self-harm to find relief from the pain of life, know that you are not alone and know that it is possible to learn different coping skills. The therapists at Thriveworks Westminster have helped many people who struggle with self-injury heal from psychological pain and find new ways to express their feelings.
While cutting may be the most recognizable type of self-harm, it is by no means the only type. Self-injury can take different forms. For example, people may burn, carve, brand, scratch, pinch, or cut themselves to cause harm. Some people pull their hair, pick their scabs, or sabotage another wound’s healing process. Self-harm may pop up in people’s lives during difficult seasons, or it can occur regularly and repeatedly.
Just as the forms of self-injury vary greatly, so can the symptoms displayed by people who utilize it as a coping mechanism. For example, symptoms of self-harm may include…
There is a strong link between psychological pain and self-injury. In particular, many people who self-harm have been abused as children. They may have experienced neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. Abuse and other traumatic experiences can spark emotions such as worthlessness, confused sexuality, anger, panic, guilt, rejection, and/or self-hatred, and survivors of abuse often have difficulty regulating and processing these intense emotions. Self-injury is often the only way people know how to escape, even if momentarily. Through self-harm, people are often seeking…
To blame themselves for the hardship they have endured. Despite momentary relief, self-injury often exacerbates the underlying problems instead of alleviating them.
If you or someone you love are cutting or utilizing other forms of self-harm to cope with life, know that change is possible. The therapists and counselors at Thriveworks Westminster have seen people turn self-hatred into self-love and self-harm into self-advocacy. The process is not easy, but we are here for support and guide.
If you are ready to meet with a counselor or therapist, know that Thriveworks Westminster has appointments for self-harm available. Dealing with self-injury is difficult enough, scheduling therapy should not add to the difficulty. Our office has tried to make the scheduling process as easy as possible.
