Are you grappling with feeling anxious or depressed? Having intrusive thoughts? Repeating old patterns in relationships, with a loved one, or your children? You may be feeling stuck, but there is hope. Being human can be a challenge - and there is so much contributing to our behavior, reactions, thoughts, the way we handle conflict, and the partners we choose. Through a blend of interventions I assist children, adults, parents, and couples in overcoming their anxiety, depression, conflict, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, traumas, grief, and relationship patterns.

My experience has ranged from working with young children who have big behaviors, to adults with high levels of complex trauma, all due to vulnerable nervous systems.
I am a graduate of the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work and have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults who experience high levels of anxiety and vulnerable nervous systems. I first began my journey as a social work intern supporting children and families at Blue Sky Bridge here in Boulder, CO and have since worked in both clinical and community based settings. I offer a wide variety of modalities and tools as each individual benefits from their own treatment plan unique to them. These modalities may include play therapy, CBT, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy.

It's not easy to seek help for your child. I've been there. I've been a psychologist for 28 years, but I've been a parent for 24, and counting. As a child and family psychologist, I help young families develop skills and routines to support healthy relationships for years to come. Play therapy allows children to integrate difficult experiences, and move past the stuck points in which they (and their parents) often find themselves. And it even works to do it virtually!

I enjoy working with challenging adolescents, young
adults, couples, parents of any age children, and families of all descriptions.
My approach is direct, supportive and caring. I believe that effective psychotherapy is based upon mutual curiosity and genuineness in discovering how to meet life’s challenges - including family issues, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. The path through these difficulties includes facing them with humor, gentleness and
bravery. The fruition of this exploration is a greater awareness of self and an appreciation of others.
