OWNER'S BIO
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in fine art from Columbia College, I began working as a preschool teacher at a creative-curriculum preschool. As an educator, I was struck by how my students embodied a natural gift for play and creativity. I soon came to believe that if this intrinsic creative drive is fostered in an educational environment, then true learning can thrive.
​
Several years later, in 2012, I sought to somehow use the wise healing properties of creativity to work with adults, children, and families in a therapeutic capacity. I began my Master of Arts in Community Counseling at Regis University in Denver. Around this time, I became a "volunteer companion" at Judi's House, a non-profit offering individual and group therapy for children and families grieving the death of a loved one. During my final year, I took part in an internship at the Family Crisis Center, where I conducted individual and group therapy sessions with youth and supportive family members.
Currently, I am a trained child and family investigator (CFI) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing therapy out of a small private practice in central Denver. I truly love the meaningful nature of this work, assisting adults, children, and families in discovering workable solutions to tough situations.
