A CU Medicine provider.

As a primary care psychologist, my approach to patient care is person-centered and integrative. I believe in the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Through a collaborative partnership, I work closely with individuals to create a safe and non-judgmental space, where we explore challenges, identify strengths, and develop tailored strategies for personal growth. I am dedicated to providing culturally competent care, ensuring a respectful and inclusive therapeutic experience. Additionally, I place a strong emphasis on prevention through psycho-education, aiming to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed for long-term resilience and well-being. My goal is to support people on their path to improved mental and emotional health, fostering long-term resilience and overall well-being.

As a Colorado transplant, I’m in awe of the many outdoor activities the area has to offer. You can usually find me at a park or mountain in my free time exploring the area with my family.

Clinical interest for patients

My clinical interests revolve around the intricate relationship between trauma, intersectionality, and diverse mental health challenges. While I practice as a generalist and treat a wide range of psychological conditions, I have expertise in treating eating disorders, anxiety and phobias (including use of Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy), and relational trauma. My graduate studies emphasized Multicultural Psychology, and I was involved in establishing the Higher Education Diversity Summit at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Research interest for patients

My research has focused on eating disorders, especially severe anorexia nervosa, compensatory behaviors, personality constructs, and belief systems.
