You’re not the only woman whose anxiety is their constant companion. It spikes often, ratcheting up the tension in your mind and body. When it strikes, it yanks you out of that flow of life energy that makes you feel calm, connected, and in control. It zaps your nervous system, leaving you fried, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually depleted, you find yourself stuck in patterns that don’t serve your health, values, or well-being. You have a sense that past trauma is the culprit, but you’re not sure how to connect the dots.

You're capable, thoughtful, and successful in many areas of life — yet something still feels fundamentally off. Arguments escalate faster than you want, or you go quiet afterward carrying a familiar weight of frustration, shame, or regret. You've built a life that looks right from the outside, yet the people closest to you still can't quite reach you. You're not falling apart. You're exhausted from holding it all together alone. You may be navigating recovery, fatherhood, life transition, or simply a growing sense that the way you've been doing things isn't working anymore. You're ready for something different.

I specialize in working with sensitive, high-achieving adults—often midlife women—who are ready for real change in both their inner world and their work. You may be feeling anxious, exhausted, stuck in familiar patterns, or quietly disconnected from your confidence, purpose, or joy. You’re thoughtful, capable, and self-aware—and you know it’s time for something to shift. My approach is practical, body-aware, and trauma-informed. In our sessions, I offer tools that go beyond talking alone, sharing tools to calm the nervous system, and create meaningful change. Clients leave sessions feeling clearer, steadier, and more resourced.

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 25 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.

I have several passions: 1) I help women struggling with depression and self esteem, especially as they age, to find meaning in their lives. 2) I help parents raise kids who will want to come home for Thanksgiving...and you'll want to see them. 3) I help parents who have made a decision not to work to be full-time stay-at-home parents feel confident and validated in their choice. There is no more important work than successfully raising the next generation. 4) I help seniors dealing with aging issues, depression, and addictions. 5) I help all adults dealing with addictions, depression, and anxiety.

I offer individual, family and couples psychotherapy in a supportive environment. Regardless of why you're seeking therapy, I'm here to help you. Do you ever wonder why you repeat the same patterns in your relationships? Do you find yourself getting stuck in repetitive and unproductive thinking? If so, you're not alone. To be heard and understood is a basic human need. It's hard to find someone to talk to and someone who will listen and ask the hard questions, someone who will go the distance. Together we'll explore the connection between your behaviors, thoughts and feelings and learn to understand and manage them day to day.

Many clients carry a quiet weight, a sense that some part of you is unheard, perhaps even within yourself. I know what it's like to hold it all in until your body speaks for you. My practice bridges Western clinical models with ancient healing wisdom, creating a centered, sacred space where every part of you: mind, body, spirit: is invited to find its voice. As a Chicano, detribalized Indigenous therapist, I help you navigate complex transitions, heal from racial stress and intergenerational trauma, and integrate profound experiences, including psychedelic journeys.

Boulder, CO 80302
Have you ever felt an internal conflict? Feeling dysregulated can cripple one's ability to function. Maybe one part of you wants to go out and have fun, while another insists you stay home and work. This internal conflict is more common than you might think. Understanding these different parts of yourself can lead to profound changes in one's life. This concept identifies and validates that we have various internal parts. Calming the internal storm allows space and clarity to handle the external challenges. Internal healing unburdens the past traumas and experiences that cause depression and discouragement.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling disconnected from their own emotional world. You may have grown up in a family where emotions weren’t talked about, where you had to keep the peace, take care of others, or meet high expectations. You might still carry the pressure to be perfect, productive, or “good,” even if it leaves you exhausted or resentful. You have a hard time knowing what you feel or finding the words to explain it. You may struggle to name your own needs or trust your inner voice. You worry about being misunderstood and notice emotions build up inside until you shut down, overthink, or feel stuck.

We all want to be seen, heard, and understood. We want contact, relationships, and intimacy. We want to be fulfilled, belong, and stable in all of the ways. Anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, past relationship wounds, broken childhoods; These are all parts of ourselves that block us from that real sense of fulfilment, belonging, and safety we all need. Are you tired of lacking confidence and healthy boundaries? Are you afraid of your own anger? Does rage ruin one relationship after another? The people I work with eventually have one goal.. To land at home, safely within themselves & loved ones in fulfillment and belonging.

I work with people who feel stuck—whether in their relationships, their careers, or their creative lives—and who sense there is something deeper asking for attention. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating patterns, doubting themselves, or feeling disconnected from what truly matters. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, listen closely, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

I provide teletherapy for kids, teens, and families across Colorado and Maryland. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and collaborative—we will move at your (or your child’s) pace, focusing on what feels safe and achievable. I integrate evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches, weaving in mindfulness, self-compassion, and creative expression when it fits your needs. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. My clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, grounded energy and the sense that they can “just be themselves” without fear of judgement.
