I utilize a client-centered, integrative approach drawing from various theoretical frameworks, but primarily practicing from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens.
"Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we'll ever do." ~Brene Brown~ Have you found life hasn't turned out the way you expected? Sometimes that can be a wonderful thing, and other times that reality can be frustrating to accept or work through. I believe those frustrations, when left unaddressed, can and often do lead to feelings of depression and/or anxiety, and can also put a strain on relationships. I believe therapy should be a safe space to give voice to those frustrations and an opportunity for healing.

I enjoy baking, and spending time with my family and pets.
I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to working with people going through challenging times in their lives. I am specialized in eating and body image concerns, depression, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. I center my work around each individual’s unique attributes, and I focus on helping people utilize their inherent self-worth, personal strengths, and individual goals. Using this approach, I help navigate the gap between who we know we are and what others expect of us.  I use my warmth and gentle humor to help my clients feel at ease and dig into the work of living their fullest lives.

Together we will explore gentle yet effective boundary setting, family -of-origin dynamics, and work on self-empowerment.
Hello! Do you love someone struggling with an addiction? Have you tried everything to help but nothing seems to be working? Clients come to me because their spouse, significant other, child, parent, or friend is dealing with an addiction and they need help. My clients find that their lives have become chaotic, scary, and unpredictable and they live in a state of fear wondering "when is the next shoe going to drop?" They feel powerless, constantly on-edge, and want to know how they can help their loved one. Maybe at some point you realize that your mental health has begun to suffer as well and you could use some personalized support.

I provide individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults.
I approach therapy through a relational lens informed by attachment theory, though utilize other modalities like ACT and DBT. Centering personal values and a self-compassion practice, I work to help my clients reconnect to their inner compass and move towards what they truly want. I rely on mindfulness to promote a nonjudgmental inquiry into the negative core beliefs that hold us back. I am trained in FBT and EFFT to support the entire family system necessary for eating disorder recovery. All of that said, YOU are the expert on YOU, and I aim to be a witness to your process, providing nudges and maybe even some laughs along the way.

Do you struggle with friendships, relationships, family members or colleagues? Did you grow up in a dysfunctional home? Were you raised by a parent who was emotionally immature? Maybe your caregiver had a mental illness that you helped your family navigate? Maybe you are looking for a therapist who can work with you both individually and with your partner or family member. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help. I specialize in couples therapy and the adult children of difficult families. Sometimes we don’t realize our family was dysfunctional until talking with a therapist. I’m happy to explore this with you in our consult.

So many of us do and seeking support in therapy can help in navigating emotions, life transitions, and stressors which leave us feeling stuck while struggling to function in the ways we desire.

Regardless of what you or your family are struggling with, I believe that it may take time, but healing and a meaningful life are very much possible.
Whether trauma and co-occuring concerns has affected you or someone you love, the process of healing can feel overwhelming and even frightening. Regardless of what happened and where you find yourself now, I believe everyone is capable of growth. A safe, supportive, and authentic space is essential for clients to move past those negative thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, destructive behaviors, shame, and sadness. I've found that warm support, while also challenging people to look within, leads to healing and connection with the best version of themselves.

As a couple and family therapy provider I like to examine issues under a relational lens.
I like to create an environment that encourages self- awareness and promotes lasting change. I believe that we all have potential to obtain fulfillment. My goal as the therapist is to help support, empower, and advise so that you may achieve your goals and reach your fullest potential. Life can be hard and complicated, and each of our experiences are unique. Which is why I like to organize my orientation around my clients so that they can get the most out of our time. My intention is to create a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where my clients can unpack their truths and begin to heal.

I have a masters degree in social work from the University of Denver (LCSW) and a post graduate degree in marriage and family therapy from Denver Family Institute.
Change is hard. Either change happens to us (as with the Covid pandemic) and adapting can be difficult and painful, or we want change and making that happen can be overwhelming and challenging. I have several years of experience helping clients create change in the ways they are hoping for. I have worked with clients from various age groups, teens through older adults, and have assisted them with a wide range of presenting difficulties including: anxiety; depression; relationship struggles; work/life balance; extended family , step family , and parenting challenges; grief and loss; and trauma.

I am trained in both Family -Based Treatment and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy .
I believe that one of the most important components to good therapy is a safe, attuned environment where you can receive strategic support in hearing your own voice. Often, we dismiss our voice or intuition. Therapy can be a place to allow our true emotions to be expressed, enabling us to hear what we may not be listening to in our everyday life. Together, we will uncover the often unspoken and align with your true values. My approach to counseling is collaborative and strengths-based.

I utilize EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems, EFT, and Values based exploration in my work with individuals.
Are you in a relationship and feeling trapped in communication patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, alone, or unheard? Are you an individual who is feeling challenged with anxiety, your relationship with food, your relationships in general, or "getting past your past". I work regularly with couples and individuals to find healing within themselves and within their relationships, to learn ways to regulate emotion in order to experience life with more joy, and to feel more able to organize around their emotion vs. feel overwhelmed from it. I am currently working online via video with clients. I see clients in person at times.

Professionals and Millennials often feel deeply the stresses of work, family struggles, and relationship or dating challenges. Any of these can have you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, hurtful people, low self-esteem, comparing to others, or not feeling "good enough." You take care of everyone yet don't get your own needs met. You seek a partner or to improve your relationship, but your past gets in the way. A parent (still!)makes family harmony difficult. I've worked alongside people in their 30s and 20s at universities and nonprofits on three continents. And I can help you live your whole authentic self with less stress.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
