As a native Iowan, I am a Midwestern girl at heart. My biggest act of rebellion as a teen was to forgo being a Cyclone or Hawkeye to be a Pioneer at the University of Denver. I fell in love with Colorado. After testing out many parts of the US, including Chicago, New York City, San Diego, and San Francisco with my family, we decided to settle down here in the Denver area. My husband and I have three kids and one fur baby; a dog that likes to remind everyone that she was here first. Singing and performing is a huge part of my history. Growing up, I would spend hours making music, practicing for shows, and being on stage. My performing took me to New York, but while I was there, I started to sense that I needed more of a genuine connection with others through my work. Yet, I can still be caught belting out a show tune from time to time.

I attended the California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant University in San Diego for my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy.  In my 12 years of experience in mental health, my first role was as a program director for a Residential Treatment Facility for teens. Next, at Rady Children’s Hospital, I collaborated with psychiatrists to create the most complete model of care for the kids in Outpatient Psychiatry. It was there that I began to recognize the value of working with the whole family to make the biggest impact on a child. Complex trauma and needs were often worked through with families by addressing attachment concerns or issues with rules and roles in the family.
