I began working with young people as a special education teacher yet quickly realized the importance of mental health in student achievement and overall wellness. As of June 2022, I am very excited to be transitioning to full-time clinical practice at Canyon Pines. I previously worked as a school psychologist in Cherry Creek School District and -- being intimately familiar with school systems and special education programming -- am happy to collaborate with school-based providers as part of a treatment plan. I primarily utilize solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches, and firmly believe that one of the most important aspects of any therapeutic experience is the quality of relationship between the therapist and client. On this foundation, I strive to help individuals connect with a sense of meaning and authentic purpose.

I’m a lifelong Colorado resident and recently moved to Parker with my wife and three daughters. We love it here! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and reading. As a parent, I know that the experience of one child can impact the whole family. Seeking support can be a hard thing to do, and I am committed to being a collaborative part of your family’s healing process.
