Welcome. Life can be full of challenges, and even if you have done considerable work on yourself, you may still experience anxiety, depression, shame, and feelings of stuckness and disconnection from the deeper currents of life and well-being we all intuit is possible. Old wounds and outdated patterns of relating can keep us from living with openness, aliveness, and a sense of meaningful participation in the world. My approach starts by inviting feelings of safety and compassionate wholeness to support your natural unfolding and the innate healing intelligence of your own body and psyche.

I am available most weekdays.
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.

Thank you for your interest. I tend to work with people in a manner that focuses on strengths, on the inherent wisdom of your system. No matter what the stuck spot, there is something trying to get worked out through the, for example, arguments, depression, anxiety, drug use... there is some aspect of Self that is doing its best to show up. In our work together, we will relieve the pain and struggle of the unhealthy strategy that is not working, while simultaneously working on creating the patterns for a new way to interface with the world.

You’re a capable adult whose struggles feel loud: anxiety that won’t switch off, patterns with food and body that steal joy, focus and follow-through challenges from ADHD, or the grief and confusion of a breakup or major life shift. You want steadier mood, a calmer relationship with food, clearer routines, and hope. I offer a kind, research-based space to understand what’s driving symptoms, build practical skills, and create a plan that fits your life—so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected day to day.

I can provide you with a safe non-judgmental space to be deeply seen and heard. Together we can help you move in the direction of improved health and joy. Survival strategies needed in childhood, arising from our intelligence, are no longer appropriate and can cause unnecessary suffering. These outdated approaches are primarily unconscious. I will help you get to know your patterns of body and mind with an attitude of kindness. This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.

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.

Navigating the waters of fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth, and being a new parent can be hard. Navigating the aftermath of past traumas in your body and nervous system can be isolating, exhausting, and soul-crushing. And sometimes those landscapes are one and the same. Past traumas resurface during fertility treatment, pregnancy or postpartum. Or new ones emerge with a traumatic birth or with feeling overwhelmed by parenting. But you’re not alone in this journey. I offer somatic psychotherapy for mothers, families and others who are looking for a whole person approach for resolving life's struggles.

I work with women who have been made to feel like they are 'too much', shamed out of trusting themselves, and long to feel at home in their bodies. Maybe you have a history of sexual trauma that has left you feeling hyper vigilant of how you are perceived, stuck in shame and guilt, and find it difficult to trust your own body. Maybe you've done therapy before but feel lost in the self-awareness loop and want actual change in your life. If you're ready to dive deep and break free from old patterns once and for all, let's connect.

"I can’t say no to others." "I always feel overwhelmed." "I can’t control my emotions." If you’ve ever had thoughts like these, you’re not alone. Living with anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, asking yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?” These experiences can create self-doubt and make you question whether change is possible. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it's about reconnecting with your authentic self, learning to navigate your emotions, and finding ways to feel more grounded, balanced, and confident.

I'm currently accepting new clients in-person and via video-conferencing throughout the state of Colorado.
During times of significant transition or stress, such as a big move, divorce, loss of a loved one, a career change, or relational challenges, therapy can be very useful. Sometimes, individuals seek out therapy as a way to develop strategies for personal growth, life skills, and or improved interpersonal communication. Other times, my clients choose to work on a long-standing mental health struggle such as depression, anxiety, addiction, or grief and loss. Therapy is right for anyone who has a desire to learn more about themselves and make positive changes in their wellness, relationships, or daily life.

You may feel like life looks fine on the outside, but internally you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people navigating anxiety, career questions, or major life transitions who want greater clarity and confidence moving forward. Some come to therapy because they feel stuck in their career, burned out at work, or uncertain about their next professional step.

Available Therapists
How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.

How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.

What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
