You are NOT crazy! The part of your brain concerned with survival is likely feeling frantic, causing your logical self to go offline and your emotional self to be dysregulated. Are your old triggers and dysfunctional coping responses intensifying? Trauma, loss, change, conflict, and oppression can make you feel hopeless, lonely, anxious, depressed, and distrusting of you. You don't have to be defined by your past; you can transform your life by overcoming obstacles that keep you stuck and in pain. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Rumi

People grow and flourish in relationship. A good long-term relationship encourages self-respect and gives the added benefit of life long connection to another person who can supports, touch and cares over a life time. I understand that long term intimacy is hard work. I help couples do this necessary work with skill, patience and tenacity. Sexual problems in a relationship cause hurt, anger, shame, and loneliness. I provide a safe informative environment to solve sexual and couple problems.

There are times in life when difficulties feel insurmountable, and all you really need is to be heard. Sometimes the complexities of contemporary living present problems that get in the way of who and how we want to be. I can help you understand the obstacles that are undermining your happiness, and to trust again in your own intuition to discover the strengths that are already there within you. While we can't change situations of the past or the family's we were born into, there is potential here for you to better understand how your past experiences and/or current challenges are interfering with your ability to enjoy life fully.

"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, preferably with my giant dog and 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, I primarily use a modality called Brainspotting. It is the most incredible thing I have ever had the privilege of sharing with my clients.

Whatever your goals might be, being in therapy forever is likely not one of them! As an experienced therapist, with a directive and compassionate style, we will work together so that you can get the most out of your time in therapy. I view my clients as individuals and not a number or a diagnosis, each with a unique set of circumstances and challenges. Using an evidence based foundation, I tailor my approach to these specific needs and identities. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to move past trauma, grief, mood disorders or relationship issues in a collaborative and pragmatic process.

Are you feeling stuck, empty, or disconnected? You may be working harder than necessary because you are fighting against patterns that developed over years. If you find yourself getting stuck in the same patterns, in spite of yourself, there is a way to break free... to have peace about your past and to feel excitement and hope about your future.
We all have wisdom and courage within us, but at times, we need help reconnecting with those strengths, and tools to move through difficult issues. If you're committed to breaking the cycle, contact me to take the first step.

Many of my clients report feeling sad, anxious, and overwhelmed, and they don’t know how to change that. They feel disconnected from their partner, and are struggling with conflict, trust, and communication issues that seem unresolvable. If this sounds like you, you don't have to do this alone. I can help you get back to yourself, change the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and reconnect with your partner. I've been working with individuals and couples for over 14 years, and it has been my privilege to walk beside them as they find healing in their relationships, and for themselves.

Looking for a Psychologist who is effective in rapid treatment techniques such as EMDR? I am experienced in working with couples with marital issues and with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, guilt or trauma. I will hear you and help you in a compassionate and patient manner. If it important to you to work with someone who can integrate spiritual and psychological treatment, I have training in both areas.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I know it isn’t easy to look for a therapist, and it can even feel scary to take that beginning step of seeking therapy. Therapy is helpful for healing emotional and relational wounds, increasing self-awareness, building skills and resources, and increasing clarity when you are feeling stuck and things look hopeless. Therapy is also helpful when you just want to stretch yourself to grow beyond old patterns and what feels familiar but no longer brings you joy, or when the familiar is costing you too much. You are starting something courageous by choosing change, and you don't have to do it alone.

I have experience working with a variety of presenting problems. While it is hard to admit that it is ok to not be ok, it takes courage to accept help/support in making lasting changes. Many mental health struggles are the result of trying to be strong for too long. I hope to work with motivated clients that want to change and are ready to work hard, dive deep, and have a teachable spirit. I love working with clients who are honest, realistic, want to have a voice, and are ready to make their goals a reality. I will provide encouragement, support, empathy, empowerment, insights, and unconditional acceptance.

I help people find deeper understanding to themselves - why certain emotions or behaviors come up, what your patterns are and why. From here, we create a path to improved living including learning to being patient with negative emotions and how to respond to them in a kinder way. In every session, you will be met with empathy, compassion, and a dose of humor. I have been practicing since 2019 with people between 18 and 55 years old with a variety of struggles including trauma related issues, depression, anxiety, BPD, and PTSD.

With over five years of experience in the mental health field, I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. My education, combined with my lived experiences, has profoundly shaped my perspective on the world. I am deeply committed to helping others navigate their personal experiences and understand the broader political and systemic forces that impact their lives—both positively and negatively. I believe in the power of community to confront these realities, challenge the status quo, and raise awareness among those who may not yet fully understand these dynamics.
