I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Couple/Relationship Counselor, licensed in Colorado and Hawaii. I help individuals and those in traditional, or non-traditional, relationships, explore issues surrounding: sex, sexuality/sexual orientation, gender, sexual performance/functioning, desire discrepancy, kink/fetishes, compulsive sexual behavior/sex addiction, sexual abuse/trauma, communication, intimacy, and betrays of trust/infidelity. I celebrate diversity and approach our work together with empathy and non-judgment.

People come to psychotherapy because they want to feel better. A big part of a therapist’s ability to help a person feel better lies in their taking a compassionate and loving stance toward that person. As a transpersonal, mindfulness -based and person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe space to explore your inner world. I work with you on strengthening a mind-body connection to support a whole-person healing journey. By aligning to clients’ innate wisdom I assist clients in feeling heard, empowered and supported to work through their relational patterns, wounds and trauma.

I love working with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse, as well as clients with chronic illnesses. These are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment in which someone is able to explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain confidence in themselves. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

I have spent the last 30 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples cultivating a treatment approach that aides in creating quick, long lasting, permanent change. This has led me down a path of studying the neurobiology of the brain and using treatment methods including Brainspotting, Mindfulness , Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and the Neuro-Psychology of the brain. I teach both nationally and internationally on these treatment interventions. Ask about my intensives.

I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner, family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health. CLIENTS report that they appreciate my humor, compassion and interactive style. TOGETHER, we explore how specific patterns may be at the root of emotional, interpersonal and/or physical challenges. TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.
