If you find yourself feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, resistance to change and/or relationship patterns that do not serve you, this is the work for you.

Sometimes overwhelming and painful experiences from our past have a negative impact on our present. This can look like: BIG emotions in response to daily stressors Depression that just isn’t lifting Panic & anxiety that hinders your performance, sleep, & wellbeing. Be it coping with a cancer diagnosis, the aftermath of narcissistic abuse and co-dependency, healing from sexual assault, or dealing with the repercussions of a car accident - these life experiences can profoundly affect us. So often, it's a series of accumulating events that lead to chronic stress, overwhelming our current capacity to manage and cope.

Brene Brown says "Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when in fact it's the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight " I know and have lived with that pressure to look a certain way, constantly perform at the most optimum level and hold myself to an impossible standard. It is awful, it tears you apart on the daily and can make you anxious, depressed and cause a lot of disappointment and shame. As a recovering "perfectionist" myself I get it and I'm here to tell you there is a way out!

I offer a unique and dynamic approach to psychotherapy. I work with healing and alchemizing trauma, anxiety, depression, loss and life transitions.

I am a psychotherapist and expressive arts therapist based in Boulder, CO. I use a trauma-informed approach that draws on the depth of relational psychoanalysis, the practicality of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the expressive magic of somatic and art-based approaches. I love working with anxiety and OCD-related disorders, embodiment and trauma healing, relationship issues, gifted populations, and people looking to nurture their creativity. I work with adults, couples, and teens. I’m especially passionate about the journey of individuation while holding each unique life story in a social justice context.

Is life passing you by? Worry, indecision, tension, nervousness, lack of confidence,compulsive behaviors, avoidance of people or situations- the pressures of life today make anxiety and depression familiar to us all. Feelings and relationships may seem messy and out of control or you may feel stuck in behaviors you don't like. Beliefs, patterns, and reactions based in the past may cause you to avoid the changes you most want to make. Recognizing these obstacles and developing the skills to work with them will allow you to develop the confidence in yourself that you need to live well

I am here to meet you on the precipice of embracing the unknown; self discovery, facing fear and anxiety, uprooting patterns, and stepping into the great telling of your own story. My work is reciprocal medicine; to see and be seen. Through belonging and connection I hope to create a safe space where one feels honored in all human intricacies. To witness, to keep stories, to listen, this is what I do.

Hope is not something that everyone has, but it is something everyone deserves. I work successfully with adolescents and adults to overcome difficult problems including addiction, substance abuse, trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship problems, and overwhelming emotions. My expertise in both psychotherapy and addictions counseling allows me to help people resolve compounding problems though an integrative and effective approach. My passion is working with complex trauma, extremely intense emotions, and addiction. I am committed to helping you feel better, uncover your potential, and achieve meaningful goals.

I work with all types of people with a variety of presenting issues however the commonality is a desire to feel better, understand themselves with more clarity and insight, and experience a sense of care, connection and humor in the process of our work together. I think most people are looking for ways to sort out what has come between them and experiencing a vibrant authentic life that feels whole and well. In this exploration clients reconnect with their truest selves encountering what is both uncomfortable and liberating, developing skills, self trust and greater authenticity. I love my work and deeply appreciate my clients.

We are complex beings with complex lives that are sometimes too much. Life is full of adversity and unforeseen challenges that can be opportunities for tremendous growth and change but we don’t always know how to do that. If you are experiencing a significant life change, a difficult injury or illness, facing the unknown, and dealing with conflicting emotions, then I want to support you in finding that direction in life. We experience a myriad of emotions, including depression and anxiety, along with complex thoughts that don’t always represent our values, ourselves and where we want to be in life.

I believe the therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for understanding where we come from, and how our survival strategies and coping skills have benefitted us in the past, while also shining a light on which ones may be due for an upgrade. With a witness, and using principles of somatic therapy we can begin to excavate the limiting beliefs taking up valuable real estate in our psyche and put in motion an upshift of our self-concept. The therapeutic container acts as a vessel in which to recontextualize who we have been, who we are now and who we want to become.

I practice from a heart-center place and trust that we can all heal. If you're struggling, it can change. My support is trauma-informed and I support those with depression and anxiety, those working through life transitions, relationship struggles, grief and loss, personal empowerment, and integration of spiritual and altered-state experiences. If you are seeking to have a more peace in your day-to-day life, to better manage your emotional experience, and to relate to yourself and others with more understanding I will help you reach your desired goals.
