Tori believes healing begins with one thing: feeling safe enough to show up exactly as you are.
Before the techniques, before the framework, before anything else, Tori builds relationships. Over more than 10 years of working with children, adolescents, and families from diverse
backgrounds, she has learned that the therapeutic relationship itself is often the most powerful
tool in the room. Her clients feel that.

Before becoming a therapist, Tori spent years as a teacher. That foundation shapes everything
about how she works, including her patience, her ability to meet people at their level, and her
deep belief that every person is capable of growth when given the right conditions and support.

She works with children as young as 3, adolescents, and individual adults. With younger clients,
she incorporates play therapy, meeting children in the language that comes most naturally to
them, where healing happens through story, movement, and imagination rather than words
alone. Her work across all ages is trauma-informed, meaning she understands how deeply early
experiences and unprocessed pain shape the way we move through the world, and she creates
space that never asks clients to go faster than they are ready to go.

Tori is in her second year of clinical practice as an LPCC and works under clinical supervision.
That stage of training is one of the most formative and alive in a therapist's development, and
her clients benefit from both the depth of her lived professional experience and the rigor of
active clinical oversight.

At the heart of her work is a simple commitment: to see people fully, hold their stories carefully,
and walk alongside them toward something that feels more like themselves.

Tori is a Colorado Native, born and raised in Colorado Springs. She grew up playing hockey
(both ice and roller) and continues to play hockey in local adult hockey leagues. When Tori is
not playing hockey, she enjoys golfing, paddleboarding, spending time with her family, walking,
dancing, and decorating her home. She understands the deep pain that exists in the world and
strives to make any positive difference she can, whether it is holding the door open for someone struggling, pulling over to help a stranded driver, or simply being a safe person for others.
