I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel understood and supported, and where we can work together to turn insight into practical, meaningful change in your daily life.
I am a licensed psychologist (Ph.D.) with 9 years of experience providing therapy to adults and couples. I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. Many of the clients I work with are seeking a deeper understanding of their thoughts and behavior patterns so they can create meaningful, lasting change. I help them clarify their values and take practical, actionable steps toward becoming who they want to be.
I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have specialized experience in adult individual and couples therapy. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, while integrating humanistic, values-based approaches.
You deserve a fulfilling life, and I am here to help you move toward it. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by self-doubt, we can work together to build insight, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and create forward momentum. When you are ready, I invite you to schedule a session and begin the process of meaningful change.

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.
At the start of our work together, collaboration is at the core. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to support you with clinical training and therapeutic tools while honoring your lived experience and the strengths you already carry.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Treatment Victim Advocate. I am also a wheelchair user and have professional and lived experience working alongside LGBTQ+ communities. These perspectives shape my commitment to accessible and affirming care that recognizes both personal experience and the systems that influence our lives.
My approach to therapy is integrative and flexible. I draw from motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and skills-based practices such as DBT and CBT when helpful. Our work is shaped around what feels most supportive for you. Sessions can be structured and goal-focused, or more open and reflective, depending on your needs and priorities.
I have extensive experience working with people impacted by harmful or high-conflict relationships, including intimate partner and family dynamics. I also work with people living with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community. This space supports healing from trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, identity shifts, and major life transitions. There is no pressure to define your experiences in any one way.
Outside of the therapy room, a bit more about me: I’m a dumpling enthusiast, an open-world fantasy game explorer, and an avid reader who adds five new books to my TBR list for every one I finish.
If this feels like a good fit, I would be honored to roll alongside you.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, anger, parenting, relationships, and major life transitions. I also enjoy helping clients navigate emotional development and supporting those who identify as gifted. My goal is to offer a collaborative space where clients can strengthen resilience, restore balance, and build healthier connections.
I hold a master’s in marital and family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary and bring extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples across a variety of settings. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy to help clients develop insight, practice meaningful skills, and create lasting change.
I understand that reaching out for support often means something in life feels ready to shift. My role is to help you explore your experiences with honesty, compassion, and clarity. Whether you want to grow, heal, or regain a sense of direction, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward your best self.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is first to assess the couple's positive behaviors that facilitate relationship building.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: MBTI for communication preferences, love languages, identifying one's own role in the conflict, and identifying conflicts that can be addressed using communication and problem-solving skills. I ask the couple to agree to work on changes needed to improve their relationship.
When the couple is progressing, they will report an increase in effective and open communication, mutually satisfying intimacy, and intentional time for companionship.
Couples can supplement their time in counseling by completing homework assignments prior to sessions, being committed to the process, observing escalating behavior, and implementing a time-out signal to stop without debate.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, be prepared to identify the positive aspects of the relationship, current ongoing problems and attempts to solve these, and the circumstances that are contributing to the lack of fulfillment in the relationship.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
No matter if you have just started dating or have been dating for years, no couple is stranger to an argument here and there. However, it is when those arguments and bickering go on and on and on that it becomes a problem. While many couples do seek couples counseling to help them overcome their problems, many couples also seek counseling so that they can turn their good relationship into a great one. So whether you are facing an uphill battle or just have a little bump in the road, you and your partner could benefit from working with a licensed professional. At Thriveworks Pueblo Counseling, we have a dedicated team of couples therapists who are ready to help you start now. Just give us a call.
Couples counseling has one main goal: to help you and your partner tackle your challenges and achieve your goals. In order to do so, your therapist will first start off by assessing you both individually in order to better understand where the cracks are in your relationship. Then with the knowledge they have based on your situations, they are able to create a comprehensive plan of action that focuses on working through your issues, improving communication, and reaching the goals you set in place. To make this happen, they will use their training and expertise to use a variety of different methods to help you tackle things like:
Here at Thriveworks Pueblo Counseling, we help couples work through many different things. Below is a more comprehensive list of reasons why we frequently see partners in couples counseling:
