Meet Our Staff

My approach to therapy follows this value and I address my clients from a systems perspective, taking into account not only their perspective on their experiences, but also incorporating how their experiences and associated behaviors affect their environment.

I started my journey at TRI as an intern in my MSW program, and provided my members two full years of case management and clinical therapy services before becoming a staff member. Moving forward, I will be offering case management services, individual, group, and family therapy to justice-involved individuals and their families.
In January of 2023, I became a Licensed Social Worker.



James is Originally from Oakland, CA. He has been a Colorado resident since 2015. His background includes sales, management, & warehouse work. Some of his more shaded background was foster care, group homes, & prison.
During his incarceration James realized that “I can either keep doing things the way I’ve been and keep disappointing the people that depend on me. And even worse, watching others mimic what they see me do and set themselves up for failure. Or I can actually try to do something productive and hope that gets mimicked and we all get set up for success.”
James now has his own business. He recently received his Peer Support Specialist Certification. Through lived experience he is able to relate to members of TRI and be supportive in all aspects.
