This human life is NOT easy, and is often full of pain! At the same time, I deeply believe that when equipped with the right tools, each individual has the potential to create a vibrant and personally meaningful life. I am passionate about empowering my clients to make the changes they wish to see in their day-to-day lives. I have been trained in a wide variety of empirically-supported treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I work with adult clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety or depressive disorders, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, and chronic pain.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

As a psychologist at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, I care about offering compassionate therapy that helps people recover from complex problems. Even if you’ve been told you can’t be helped, please don’t give up hope! Overpowering emotions can be disorienting and isolating. I provide specialized support to bring stability, growth, and fulfillment into your life. At ATS we offer supportive and evidence-based treatments that will help you overcome serious problems and rebuild your life. We work as team to provide compassionate care and help our clients succeed.

We specialize in the education and treatment of digital media overuse, which includes, video game addiction, social media, information overload, spending compulsions, and online pornography overuse and addiction. We prioritize family involvement because we know that including family members supports overall change, and the health and wellness of the whole family. Families find that when involved in treatment they achieve what they came in to change in a more timely fashion. We provide expert advice, education and guidance to individuals and families seeking to learn more about how to use digital media in a healthy, effective manner, as well as to those who are in the depths of addiction. We specialize in the common co-existing issues found alongside or underneath digital media overuse/addiction, such as anxiety, isolation, depression, academic challenges and failure, inability to obtain or keep employment, lying and deceitful behavior, as well as, aggressive and acting out behaviors.

I work with people navigating major life changes, grappling with grief & loss, or longing to understand their unique emotions and sensations. My approach is grounded in creativity and curiosity. I can help you develop healthier communication skills that may strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Becoming aware of our internal experiences allows us to express our needs with greater clarity. I will listen to you and learn about your intentions so that we can get to the heart of the matter together. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I enjoy working with people who are committed to their growth and development.

Welcome! I specialize in working with college/graduate students and adults with concerns related to anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, relationships, and self-esteem. I also work with survivors of sexual assault. I aim to support you in building self-trust, increasing self-understanding, leaning into your strengths, and working toward your goals.

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!

Specializing in Teens & Young Adults: However isolated they appear, I hold a strong belief that young adult emotional and behavioral struggles are primarily a reaction to family influences. To fully support this population in reaching their potential, their challenges will need to be looked upon in the context of family, so to identify how such strife continues to be reinforced. This systemic approach to therapy paves the way for greatest insight to be gained by those who really matter, allowing for symptom reduction and ultimately greater relational harmony.

As a psychologist at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, I have dedicated myself to helping teens and adults who suffer from challenging problems. If you have deep wounds, I can help. I specialize in helping people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, substance use, suicidal thoughts, dissociation, and borderline personality disorder. Traditional talk therapy has failed many of our clients. I am able to effectively and compassionately help people with difficult problems by both treating problems at their core and helping people learn the skills and tools they need to live a fulfilling life.

I have spent the past 20 years helping adolescents (and their families) with the work of growing into healthy, happy adults. My background includes teaching high school, running a summer camp, school counseling, and directing September High School. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have brought these experiences into my clinical work.

I am a Colorado native and have worked closely with our local community for years. I work collaboratively with my clients to support change and outcomes. I believe in establishing accountability, directness, and follow-through to drive change in one's life. I feel it is important for clients to feel heard, understood, and supported to make changes in behaviors to achieve personal goals. I take a person-centered approach while using other therapeutic techniques to help support you in understanding the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and actions to support you in understanding relationships and healing for a better you!

Feeling stuck, depressed or dealing with anxiety? Maybe you're thinking about a life without substance use. Perhaps you're considering a career change or just feeling unhappy. Many issues stem from entrenched, automatic patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. Creating a meaningful, rich, satisfying life starts with awareness. Without awareness of our patterns, we remain perpetually stuck in our old ways. You can develop awareness and the personal insight necessary to work toward improved functioning and increase quality of life.

I specialize in blending somatic trauma therapy and attachment repatterning. This kind of work is most effective in treating issues that traditional talk therapy has the hardest time treating. Incorporating ketamine into this approach allows quicker access to incredibly deep and subtle personal material.

I regard the body as an integration of the physical, emotional, and mental. My personal journey has given me an understanding of inner and outer connectedness and the body's innate ability to heal on all levels of being. I believe that how we relate to others begins with our relationship to ourselves. With a passion for supporting neurodiversity, gender diversity, and sexual empowerment and freedom, I combine therapy, movement, nature, and mindfulness to strengthen the mind-body connection and help individuals thrive.

It takes courage to seek assistance and support when faced with challenges and struggles. My goal with clients is to honor inner resources and strengths while reducing distress. We will work together on identifying goals, motivations, and barriers, while gaining insight and skills, fortifying self-compassion, and increasing self-efficacy. I have varied experience providing psychotherapy, ranging from working with clients struggling with life adjustments to those working through more pervasive and enduring challenges. My focus is on real results, utilizing methods that are evidence-based and lead to increased life satisfaction.

I believe that there is great power in developing a deeper understanding of who you are, your strengths and weakness, and how your brain functions and adapts-and applying this information to develop ways to manage and communicate your emotions and needs to the important people in your life. I have been working with kids, teens, adults and families for the last 15 years, and find it very meaningful and rewarding. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and neurodevelopmental disorders, using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-oriented and family systems based approaches.

Are you feeling alone and isolated during this time of profound change and uncertainty happening all around us? Do you generally feel that you’re doing okay but sometimes you just need to let down the walls and cry or just be heard in all your fears and worries? If you need or want support, please know that you are not alone and please reach out to me or someone else. In my work as a Psychotherapist, a great deal of what I do when working with my clients is to just be there to care, listen and offer support however you most need it. When I use the word “support” what I mean is that hopefully you will feel less alone in your world.

Stressed, overwhelmed, or burned out, or struggling with trauma? Do you always put others needs before yours? Are you often second-guessing yourself, or "people pleasing"? Feel guilty setting boundaries, saying no, or asking for what you need? If you are seeking to manage overwhelm and anxiety, heal past trauma, or focus on self-growth, I can help.
