Seeking out help and accessing therapy services is not easy, and there are many barriers that prevent people from getting the help they need and deserve. One of my goals is to help reduce these barriers by creating a space that is welcoming, safe, and honors the various identities you may hold. It’s important for me to work with my clients in a collaborative manner while using strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches. My hope is that my clients get to live an authentic life that is fulfilling and embodies self-acceptance.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to have more authentic relationships or strengthen your current relationship? Desiring a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself? Needing to process past trauma or difficult experiences? Struggling with anxiety and depression? I can help. Life is hard and we can often find ourselves just going through the motions and maintaining the status quo. I invite you to reimagine something different.

How would you describe your thinking. 'You are what you think.' How does your thinking get in your way of feeling more content, confident, and comfortable with your self and others? Typically my clients can create effective changes within a short period of time. The reduction in depression and anxiety can be reduced relatively quickly by learning and implementing a few new skills. If you have the courage to be looking at therapists' profiles, you are ready to make some changes in your life. I can help you with that. Call me.

I offer in PERSON (Colorado) & VIRTUAL (California & Colorado) sessions for adults and couples. Clients come to me when they are exhausted of, or in addition to their current talk therapy with issues like: challenging relationships; feeling stuck; find the world to be unfriendly; anxiety; difficulty focusing; trouble sleeping; not knowing and communicating their truth to others; have chronic pain and unexplained physical syndromes; want to know what "self aware" means; and/or want to experience a positive connection to their bodies.

Are you struggling with your day-to-day stresses in this difficult world? Are you looking for a private and safe way to work through difficult emotions, past trauma, or life transitions with someone who can understand you and all that weighs on your shoulders? Do you, like my clients, want to work towards reducing your anxiety, managing your negative thoughts, and exploring ways to enhance the connection in your relationships? We face a world of growing stresses, unrest, and perfectionist expectations, but we don't have to go through it alone.

Do people often call you “too sensitive”? Do you feel pressured to keep everyone happy, often neglecting your own needs? Do you feel overcome with emotion constantly and are unsure of how to handle it? Maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure of where to go next. Maybe you’re struggling to make sense of a painful event. Life can be so challenging and can leave us feeling fragile, broken, and lost. You shouldn’t have to face this all alone. We all possess the innate ability to heal. Sometimes we just need the gentle guidance of someone who is on our side.

I serve the community by providing interpersonal psychotherapy with a solution focused approach. The population I currently serve is a variety of adults and seniors, with dual diagnosis and intellectual disabilities.

My practice is geared to those who are tired of feeling stigmatized, exhausted of living for others and wanting to become their true genuine self. I would be honored to part of your empowering journey, creating a life that is not just practical but a life to fulfill your senses.

You are unique in the challenges you face and in your gifts. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, an unrelenting sense of despair, low self-esteem, are hyper-critical of yourself, feel disconnected from life or joyless, are frustrated with work or school, have problems in your relationships, or suffer with PTSD, your experience is particular to you. I will help you discover the underlying dynamics of your symptoms and patterns in ways that allow you to transform them. Rather than merely "fixing" a problem or “fixing” yourself, you will learn how to listen to and tend what troubles you.
