I bring warmth, humor and an active style to psychotherapy, and am optimistic that with time, supportive connection, and a willingness to look beneath the surface, you can grow and feel better. Therapy gives you a chance to explore your thoughts, feelings and relationships, with the invaluable benefit of an outside perspective. In addition to helping you with any challenges, I will also help you build on your unique strengths. My clients report that they not only develop a deeper understanding of themselves, but most importantly, make wanted changes in their lives and relationships.

You will find my style to be warm, humorous, direct, and effective in addressing a range of mental health conditions. My mode of therapy focuses on the present day. Though certainly life experiences impact current relationships and functioning, often clients find they feel better faster by learning effective strategies to cope with emotions in the current moment. Counseling does not have to be a life-long commitment. Frequently, my clients find they have met their goals after a brief series of meetings.

I offer integrative trauma and social justice informed somatic psychotherapy.

Are you finding yourself stuck in the same old patterns of relationship and you can't seem to get out of them? Are you desiring a deeper connecting with both yourself and others? I support individuals, couples, and people in all types of configurations of connections to heal relationship wounding, attachment trauma, and the symptoms of anxiety and depression that often stem from the pain that is often experienced in relationship. Healthy, empowering, and growth-producing relationships are possible. Are you ready?

I believe each one of us has the tools and knowledge for our own healing. Through compassion and empathy I help individuals access those innate strengths to make the changes they have struggled to make on their own.

I love providing psychotherapy to individual adults and adolescents, couples, families. A senior myself, I am familiar with issues of aging: anxiety, loss, loneliness, illness, depression, end-of-life, isolation, relationships and disability. I accept Medicare and other insurance and am trained in numerous modalities, including contemplative psychotherapy, and am receiving training in DBT (dialectival behavioral therapy). I take an holistic approach, sensing deep connections between body and mind.

Life difficulties can be challenging - but very positive outcomes can come from facing them. Transformation and healing truly do happen. They come from new experiences and insights, and getting support to try new behaviors in a supportive context. The wholeness of you is capable, unafraid, dynamic and alive - as you get more deeply in touch with your wholeness, things move. Compassion, understanding, and new growth arise. Come for a free first session with no obligation to see if working with me is a good fit.

As a contemplative psychotherapist and meditation practitioner, steeped in over 30 years of experience, I am here to meet you right where you're at, in a safe and supportive environment. My having experienced firsthand the complexity, richness, and challenges of inner work ensures that you will not be alone on your journey of self-discovery.

I provide therapy and coaching for neurologically diverse adults and teens who may at times feel challenged, confused or exhausted by the social world. I enjoy helping clients to interpret the 'invisible' rules of social relationships, and to problem-solve practical challenges they may face at home, work, or school. I use EMDR therapy frequently for improving self-regulation, and for processing trauma or other past experiences that may be interfering with clients' daily life. I also provide counseling to neuro-diverse couples, and consultation to parents and caregivers of individuals who are working on social cognition issues.

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for people to uncover the obstacles that keep them from aliveness, connection, safety, intimacy, transformation, resiliency, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of life’s difficulties, access their innate wisdom, and gain skills to thrive and emerge into their full self. I am a queer, non-binary femme, psychotherapist, poet, and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

I help people get unstuck. We all have areas of our lives where we seem to stay paralyzed. We experience resistance to moving forward toward how we really want to live. Perhaps you have been longing to get healthy, or change careers, or improve your relationship, or learn how to say no to reduce stress. Perhaps you need help to get clear on what it is you truly want and what next steps to take. I help clients identify and question the negative limiting beliefs that prevent us from following true desires and dreams.

Struggling with your relationship, loss of a loved one, job difficulties, poor self esteem? Sometimes no matter what you've tried you find yourself repeating old patterns, feeling stuck. There is help. We'll start wherever you are on your life's journey. We'll talk about your situation, your goals. With warmth and compassion, I'll offer practical solutions, support, guidance, problem solving. People report relief after just a few sessions.

I am interested in working with a person who is committed to understanding and undertaking the therapeutic process. This looks like a willingness to be vulnerable and honest, to dig deep into the state of their mind and body and address the traumas that they may be holding, and ultimately to develop a relationship with me that can facilitate their healing. I specialize in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, family and relational conflicts, and women's issues.

Having provided psychotherapeutic services for agencies in the Boulder area since 2007, I bring my background in somatic psychology, systems theory, neuropsychology, and working with members of the LGBTQIAP+ community to my practice. Sessions are geared toward tailoring tools to alleviate suffering, decrease conflict, and increase joy in your life outside of the therapy room. I am continually inspired by the courage, dedication and positive change I see in my clients. Let's work together in the journey toward the balanced and rich life you have envisioned for yourself.

Sometimes, you feel so overwhelmed you wish someone else could step in and live life for you for a while. You're juggling too much and you're worried that if things don't change for you soon, you will hit a breaking point and everything will fall apart around you. The coping skills that have worked for you in the past have stopped working, and now you're wondering if they ever worked that well in the first place. You hope therapy can answer your questions and help you cope. If part of this process for you has been wondering if your anxiety is related to trauma you've experienced in your past, then you have landed in the right place.

Welcome! My passion is helping couples and individuals attain the life and relationships they desire. I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, and have specialized in relationship issues with couples and individuals for over 20 years. If you are in a relationship, my job is to help you: Understand more deeply what underlies your core conflicts (there are usually just 2 or 3 that keep showing up repeatedly); learn how to communicate in a way that is safe, loving, and effective; help you to remove the blocks to deeper connection and intimacy.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads or yearning for more? You may be at a breaking point or you may want to make some changes and you don't know where to start. I will ensure a safe and warm environment for exploration. We will move at a pace comfortable for you. Taking the leap of faith into therapy takes courage. We will engage in a process of empowerment to help you feel more centered & grounded in yourself. I work with individuals, couples, children, & families. I am here to listen, empathize & deepen your self-understanding . We will take a look at your inner longings and the parts of your life which may not be serving you.

I have devoted my career to helping children, adolescents, and adults heal from anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, and loss. I have extensive training in trauma, particularly working with children, adolescents, and families whose lives are affected by physical abuse, sexual abuse, family violence, neglect, bullying, and attachment issues related to adoption. I value the importance of working with the whole family system to heal from trauma, improve mental wellness, and adjust to changes in the family dynamic. My treatment is aimed at strengthening the parent-child relationship, and assessing the strengths and areas of growth within the caregiver/child dyad.
