I specialize in helping people overcome complex and “difficult-to-treat” problems. Clients often come to therapy feeling "stuck" and wanting more freedom in their choices. I work with clients to help identify and bring light to the strategies that we often use to avoid our feelings and keep us locked in patterns we want to shift.

I know it's hard to ask for help, especially when we are suffering alone.
Reaching out for support is the first step in undoing aloneness.
When we feel safe and connected, crisis and suffering can be opportunities to awaken extraordinary capacities that otherwise might lie dormant, unknown and untapped.

Are you struggling with something? You might feel like life isn’t as vibrant as it once was, or relationships are fraught with conflict. It can be difficult to get out of these places in life on our own. You might feel like it’s best to tough it out or figure it out alone, but you don’t have to. Most of my clients struggle with depression and trauma which causes their lives to feel less like places of their own creation and more like somewhere they just ended up. I welcome clients of all backgrounds who are seeking agency and meaning.

I provide therapy in person and online.
Are you trying to find your balance in this topsy turvy world? When control of the outside world is limited, it is time to turn inwards. Look around and assess where you are. Take inventory of the relationships that matter to you. Where are you headed? What is the current state of affairs stirring up in you? Come explore the emotional cues that are arising and use those feelings to navigate these turbulent times to come out on the other end intact, with usable insights and more resilient. Don’t let the agendas of others hijack every present moment and your future.

Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? I specialize in somatic-centered contemplative psychotherapy, helping you to ground and reconnect with personal meaning through mindful awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and body. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your unique experiences, especially those related to examining liminal identities. Recognizing that identity is influenced by social context, I practice with cultural humility and a commitment to social justice. Together, we'll address your distinct challenges, uncover your unique strengths, and acknowledge that healing is both personal and collective.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

I see clients in person in Boulder, in unceded Cheyenne, Ute, and Arapahoe territory.
The past has left you living a life two sizes too small. You want to feel belonging and wholeness. But every time you move toward what calls to you, anxiety, shame, and self-doubt tell you that you can't have or deserve good things. You face a choice between the voices of past conditioning and the voice of your true self, who knows nothing is or has ever been wrong with you. The true self voice may be quieter. But it is has always been there, calling you home. It is why you are here, finding support to release old ways of being and to live a life aligned with who you really are.

Know Thyself was the ancient prescription for a meaningful life, and I believe it still holds true today. To understand our needs, potentials, and limitations gives us the courage to confront our challenges and the wisdom to learn and grow from them. I offer a compassionate and down-to-earth approach to therapy, partnering with clients to discover unconscious patterns that interfere with satisfaction in work, health, relationships, and creativity. I believe that symptoms arise when vital parts of our personalities have been denied; thus depression, anxiety, addiction, and chronic illness may be voices of the deeper self trying to be heard.

I provide therapy sessions both online and in-person.
Healing begins with acknowledging the wound, not just with the intent to fix but with a deep willingness to understand and honor the pain. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, or the weight of trauma, the first step is to meet their experience gently, with compassion and without judgment. In therapy, we don’t seek to erase these feelings but instead create a safe space where they can be understood and transformed. By listening deeply to the pain, we provide the foundation for meaningful healing and growth to unfold.
