Have you considered a wellness-oriented approach to mental health? Are you thriving in some areas and struggling in others? You may be in a life situation that leaves you feeling burned out, exhausted, stressed, isolated, disconnected, confused, angry, or just needing to find yourself. You can benefit from exploring your strengths. This begins with a plan. Do you have a plan for your wellbeing? You are the expert on your life and I can help you identify your strengths and develop a strengths-based plan to immediately improve your wellbeing and to achieve fulfillment and balance in your life.

* CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * It is no coincidence that you have made your way here. You are taking a brave step towards getting the support you, your child or your family needs. I am here to support you through whatever challenges you are facing. Whether you have experienced a traumatic event, you are struggling with a specific aspect of your life, or you are unsure of what to do next, I am here to navigate it with you. Together, we will create a welcoming environment that allows you to share your needs and goals with me, which will guide our work together. You truly deserve a life well lived.

My favorite quote from the Paulo Coelho's Alchemist is this: "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." I focus on wellness. If you are experiencing stress, trauma, depression, isolation, disconnectedness, confusion, anger, anxiety, or loss of meaning, you can get the help you need. I feel my role is to help you understand and act effectively and immediately to achieve centeredness and move forward to build confidence and convert challenges to opportunists for discovering and applying your strengths.

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.

My approach is client-centered, meaning I start where you are and work collaboratively to find a way forward. Perhaps that means finding a solution to a specific problem, or breaking patterns of behavior, or simply developing a better understanding of yourself.

If you've found your way to my page, you're likely looking for a shift in your life, relief, change, something more. I too have been in that place, not satisfied and pained. These times were the greatest access points I've ever had for a change into something better, beyond what I've known. I've been able to capitalize on these moments with help from others and have benefitted greatly. I want to support you in the same way. I want to partner with you during this tender, potent, and valuable time.

Your eldering can and should be vibrant and happy. For a long time, we believed development stopped when an individual entered adulthood. This is far from true. Not all the transitions of middle and later life are easy or welcome. No one has to feel depressed, alone, bored, isolated and forgotten. I support individuals, couples, families and caregivers as they navigate the important transitions of later life. Later life is a time of dynamic personal change and growth.

I work with individuals and couples in times of transition. Transitions can come in the form of endings such as divorce, empty nest, retirement or death. However, beginnings such as a new relationship, new baby, a move or the start of a new job or project can also activate transitional stress. Certain life stages such as adolescence, middle age and the end of life can also be seen as transitional periods, where old concepts of self are being reworked and new goals are being created. I work with clients to mine these richly important times and to facilitate greater self awareness, integration and healing.

I help clients stop hating their bodies and guide them to a permanent peaceful relationship with food. If you are struggling with food and body image issues, I have been helping clients find a state of peace and ease around food for over 18 years.

Life is a journey of accomplishments/joy along with struggles/challenges. During difficult phases to navigate my hope is to come alongside and support you by considering the relational, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions in a holistic way. First, I listen to your story to understand your unique personality and experiences. Next, integrating my professional training, life experience and years encouraging and supporting others I offer resources, strategies and guidance on how to heal, change, or grow. Hope can be restored whether you suffer from wounds in the past, broken relationships or behavior you desire to change.

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.

I work with men and women facing both the 'big' and the seemingly common issues of life. 'Big' life changes like a cancer diagnosis or a partner experiencing dementia; 'Life' issues like relationships, grief/loss, anxiety, anger, depression, persistent feelings of sadness, job difficulties, retirement challenges and more. Those who work with me soon come to appreciate the value of being heard; of being seen and accepted-despite the sharp edges that may appear as we try to protect ourselves from the pain the world sometimes presents us.

Sometimes life can feel so challenging and overwhelming that anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, or anger stops us in our tracks. We may feel constant distress in our thoughts, feelings and body. Or maybe we feel the complete opposite and become frozen and numb. There may be negative voices in your head affecting the way you view yourself, others, or the world around you. Perhaps you are exhausted from the discrepancy between how you feel and how you want to feel. You are at a point of wanting something different.

Have you reached a breaking point? Have your experiences become too much to bear alone? Maybe you're ready for change, but you're not sure where to start? If you resonate with these words, you may find yourself experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or a combination of all three. I'm here to tell you that you don’t have to do this alone - we can work toward healing together. If you’re ready to take a step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, together we can: release painful memories keeping you trapped, swim above the numbness keeping you disconnected, and tame the spiral of thoughts keeping you out of control.
