Therapy can help you overcome these barriers that stand in your way. I help clients gain insight by providing a supportive and caring environment, while also challenging my clients when they are ready. I'm honored to hear your story along your journey to having the life you deserve.

Hello! Congratulations on taking this first step towards healing which I know can feel overwhelming. Trauma and stress can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I aim to provide a brave, empowering, and validating space to process present concerns and to reconnect with oneself, others, and feelings that you may have been told you cannot or should not feel. Our work together may include processing the ongoing stress of a chronic medical condition, coping with anxiety, recovering from past and/or current trauma, or learning to cope with the loss of a loved one.

I specialize in cognitive-behavioral (CBT) for adults. I help you learn a set of practical tools to help with how you're thinking and what you're doing in certain situations, so you can feel better and move forward in your life. It's important not only that you feel better through our work together, but also that you know exactly what you did to get there, so you are confident in how to help yourself continue to feel well going forward.

While some approach therapy with a “corrective lens”, I endorse a holistic and relational approach that disentangles unwanted thoughts, behaviors and feelings and supports your authoring of new and empowering self-narratives. Through compassion, attunement, and mutuality, I hope to create an affirming realm to tend to harmful experiences and promote movement towards your goals & wellbeing. I am passionate about working with adults, adolescents, and couples to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, grief , life adjustments, body image, and other concerns. I affirm all gender, sexual, and cultural identities.

You keep looping around the same negative thoughts, and the same feelings of anxiety and being insecure. Overtime, you notice patterns and experiencing seasons of hopelessness, vacillating with attempts at therapy or wellness trends. You are willing to take action but you are afraid that nothing will change. Ultimately feeling unsafe in relationships that you think should feel safe. Not knowing if it’s them or you with the issue. You end up investing time and emotional energy replaying the past or rehearsing the future, but never quite present. - You do not have to stay stuck. I believe you can experience restoration and freedom.

Reaching out to a therapist involves a great deal of courage. I have a great deal of respect for anyone who seeks my help and am honored by each unique individual who does. My mission is to provide you with the tools to discover your own innate wisdom and power to heal through greater awareness and connection to self, others, and spirit. I work in collaboration with you to determine what will be most helpful, growthful, and supportive to your needs.

I have felt the hardships of relationships, the struggles of marriage, and know the building and maintaining of a family can be overwhelming at times. I provide a safe space to explore and process those feelings. Life is messy, and what you bring in is what we work with. Being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have the skills and training to support you and your loved ones. Working with me, you will find freedom from trapped thoughts, experiences, and beliefs about yourself. I love planting seeds of hope, assisting in learning, and witnessing clients find empowerment.

We all need someone who will bear witness to the pain, sorrow, joy, and hope of our life journey. Through my gifts of presence, empathy, and curiosity I strive to help clients gain a greater understanding of their authentic self. Recognition of our past experiences shape who we are as we look forward to who we are becoming. Maybe you're feeling shattered with grief , disconnected from yourself or others, lost, or alone - may this journey allow you the space to heal and become whole again. No two people are alike, with that I will do my best to tailor your therapy experience to match your needs.

I am compassionate and caring in my therapeutic style and will help you find your strengths and hope when life is difficult. I believe all people have answers to the problems and challenges they face. My role, as a therapist, is to help you discover these answers during therapy.

I have provided counseling services in Denver since completing graduate school in 1999. I worked in both pediatric and adult medical settings, including hematology/oncology, emergency trauma and hospice. For 8 years, I worked at a school and community based medical clinic providing psychotherapy to all ages. I have also enjoyed private practice over the years. In each setting I work, including private practice, my therapeutic modality varies, but I always come from a strengths based/empowerment approach.

I believe that each of us has the ability to heal from the experiences in our lives that caused suffering or left us feeling wounded. However, exploring this pain and sharing our stories can feel both scary and intimidating. I create a safe, compassionate container for you to draw upon your courage to look inward and explore the wounds that bring you to therapy. My holistic approach to therapy tends to the whole person, incorporating the mind, body, and spirit to support the healing process. Drawing upon my mindfulness-based skills, experience, and clinical expertise I accompany each person on their journey of growth and discovery.
