About me

I am a Psychotherapist with 16 years of experience in therapy for children and adults.

In my life I was never more sure than of my passion for Psychology. Having the ability to help families revitalizes me and fills me with satisfaction. I always wanted to prepare myself attending trainings and seminars to provide the most effective therapy posible.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State College of Denver, then earned a Master's degree in Clinical Psychotherapy with an emphasis in family therapy from the University of Northern Colorado. I got trained in family and couples therapy at the Denver Family Institute. I also focused on studying and attending trainings and learning the latest in effective, evidence-based therapy. After going throughmany types of therapy and methodologies I found, EMDR, desensitization and eye movement reprocessing and IFS, Internal Family Systems.
