About
As a woman who has experienced trauma throughout my life, I have a deep understanding of how to learn the skills to overcome life's challenges.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, substance use challenges, and major life transitions. I am passionate about supporting people as they heal, grow, and rediscover their sense of purpose. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and trust, creating a safe space where clients can explore difficult emotions and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver. I utilize evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and trauma-focused therapies to guide my clients toward emotional regulation, self-awareness, and personal growth.
I believe that through healing and self-discovery, my clients can achieve lasting change and fulfillment. If you’re ready to take the next step in your personal growth journey, I’d be honored to support you—schedule an appointment today to begin writing your next chapter.

My go-to approach is to help the adolescent create a unique self-identity, which is the essence of adolescence. This has to work in the context of their social milieu. Adolescents have a greater chance of getting derailed as evidenced by fear of not being accepted by same-sex friends and not being attractive to the opposite sex.
I use DBT, art therapy, and homework based on the presenting problem i.e. depression, anxiety, and behavior modification.
Adolescents will report better emotional regulation, stronger relationships, and increased acceptance of self.
Clients can complete homework and be prepared to review it in sessions.
Clients can begin to think about their goals for treatment.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Pueblo have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Pueblo, CO offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Thriveworks Pueblo understands that you want what is best for your teenager. You’ve probably tried reaching them through other methods already, but to no prevail. A growing teenager’s brain is unlike any adult brain. They see the world and react to situations differently then adults do. This can be a beautiful thing! But it also makes it difficult to reach them when they’re struggling.

It’s not their fault they are struggling, sometimes life just hurts. Thriveworks Pueblo is there when the blows come.

Being a teenager is hard enough. Our job is to ease some of the burden and provide coping mechanisms and self-awareness that will pave the way for your teenager for years to come.

Thriveworks Pueblo creates our therapy sessions to best meet your needs, goals, and doubts. No person or their struggle is the same, so no counseling session should be either!
For some adolescents, a simple safe space to rant out their feelings and frustrations is what they need. We provide a professional third-party listening ear and guidance to help teenagers make sense of the crazy world around them and inside them.
For other teenagers, they might need or want something more. In addition to the traditional talk therapy described above, Thriveworks Pueblo adolescent counselors have training and expertise in:
