I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method.
Navigating challenging relationships can sometimes feel like you are wandering through a maze with no clear path. Whether you are dealing with change, transitions, or unconventional relationship dynamics, it is easy to feel lost or overwhelmed. If you are struggling to connect with your partner or other loved ones, or if you are finding it hard to break out of painful patterns, I understand how tough it can be. It is heartbreaking when the spark with your partner dims or when the connection you crave with your family seems out of reach.

In our fast-paced world, finding balance can often feel like a distant dream. With life's demands and a culture that may overlook mental well-being, many find themselves drained and struggling to embrace joy. Therapy offers a powerful tool for self-discovery, managing unhelpful behaviors, and healing deep-seated wounds that are challenging to address alone. As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am passionate about empowering women and others to prioritize their mental health and make transformative changes.

If you're in a partnership and are struggling with communication, intimacy, and connection or curious about exploring other relationship structures, I can help you navigate those dynamics as well.

For me, "Play" has always been a place where I feel most alive, whether through physical activity, creativity, or connecting with others. Like so many people, the adventurous culture of Denver stole my heart. My favorite thing to do is play outdoors and laugh with the people I love. I believe that as humans we all crave that sense of playfulness and freedom. I am passionate about supporting others to find their own sense of play to create the life they want. In my practice, Brainspotting is at the heart of my practice because of its undeniable impact on human healing.

If you are seeking therapy, you may be hoping to find support with challenges that feel difficult to carry alone. Maybe you’ve been through painful experiences in relationships, grown up with family conflict, or noticed patterns that repeat no matter how much you try to change them. Perhaps you feel stuck, like something is holding you back from living the life you want. In therapy, you can begin to untangle these struggles, find your voice, and reclaim the parts of yourself that feel lost. You deserve more than surviving—you deserve to live with freedom, connection, and self-compassion.

Transitions are hard, whether they are expected or not! Evolving from child to adolescent/teen, high school to college, and from college to “adulthood” can bring about changes in mood and feelings, as well as shifts in the family dynamics. Whether you are a parent struggling to communicate better with your child/teen, an older child/teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, or an emerging adult who is confused and overwhelmed by life, my hope is to provide a space to gain clarity, peace, and a sense of relief.

Are you feeling disconnected from the love that once defined your relationship? When you first met, the chemistry was undeniable - you couldn't get enough of each other. But somewhere along the way, life's demands took over and communication faltered. Now, your relationship feels far from what you envisioned. Daily interactions lack warmth, and that deep connection you once shared seems like a distant memory. Despite trying various approaches to rekindle your bond, nothing seems to work. You're feeling stuck, discouraged, and unsure where to turn for guidance. If this resonates with you, I'm here to help restore the joy and intimacy

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.

Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.

How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.

Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
