Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, past wounds or relationship struggles still weigh you down? Burnt out by the weight of your daily responsibilities, feeling pressure to be everything to everyone, and paralyzed by anxiety about what life will throw at you next.

But one thing is certain: you’re ready for relief. Ready to feel connected and understood. Ready to feel like yourself again—joyful and confident in your next steps.

“I keep telling myself to breathe, but even my mind won’t slow down.” “It feels like I’m standing in the middle of a storm that no one else can see.” Anxiety can take hold in ways that make peace feel out of reach—racing thoughts, constant worry, and a restlessness that never seems to ease. You might find yourself lying awake at night, replaying the day, or feeling uneasy in situations that once felt comfortable. Over time, this tension can spill into every area of your life, feeding depression, resurfacing old pain, or straining your most important relationships. Even when you try to push forward, the exhaustion can feel relentless

I offer online counseling for adults that blends somatic and talk therapy approaches.
As a counselor with Root & Rise Collective, I support adults who are navigating seasons of transition, loss, or identity shifts that can leave them feeling unsteady.

Whether it’s moving through grief, exploring identity, or adjusting to a major life change, my goal is to provide a space where your story is heard and honored, and where you can rediscover what feels authentic and sustainable for you.

If you're feeling lost in your relationships, overwhelmed by a harsh Inner Critic, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—or maybe just plain exhausted by trying to hold it all together—I see you. Whether you're navigating the chaos of early adulthood, facing a midlife shift, or living with the weight of complex trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with people who are incredibly hard on themselves, wrestle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning in relationships, and quietly wondering, “Why am I like this?” If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

I offer therapy sessions via telehealth for residents of Colorado.
I am passionate about supporting adults who are committed to exploring how their lived experiences have shaped their relationships. I believe that our social connections profoundly influence who we are and how we engage with the world. As social beings, we have an innate need to feel loved and understood, but trauma can make these connections feel unsafe, leading to painful patterns in relationships and a deep sense of disconnection. In my work, I emphasize social healing, safety, and trust.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
