I believe therapy should be results-oriented, collaborative, and intellectually engaging while still deeply human. My work is about helping you understand yourself more authentically, reconnect with your heart and nervous system, and build a life that is more values-oriented, steady, and meaningful. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck whether that’s anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, substance use, ADHD, shame, or grief and work toward practical, sustainable change. You’ll be met with respect, honesty, and compassion, and you’ll feel seen and heard in a space that’s confidential and judgment-free.

I work with women who are tired of repeating the same patterns in their relationships and lives. They may struggle with anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, perfectionism, resentment, disconnection, or relationship difficulties, yet sense that something deeper is driving these patterns. My ideal clients are curious, self-aware, and ready to look honestly at their own stories, protective patterns, and the role they play in their struggles. Together, we move beyond simply managing symptoms to understanding the roots of what keeps them stuck and creating meaningful change.

I’m a licensed Colorado psychologist who works with teens and adults who often appear capable or grounded on the outside, but whose inner experience involves hard work, emotional complexity, or stress that isn’t immediately visible. Many are navigating anxiety, depression, questions of identity and belonging, or neurodivergence, including ADHD or autism, and some are parents or managing chronic health conditions. They want to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and are looking for relief from anxiety, greater clarity about themselves, and a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

It's time to make a lasting change, to get real and heal. Your life is too important. I help individuals unravel the complex stories of their lives. Life is full of twists and turns that pull us from our center, creating overwhelm and distress. Limiting beliefs picked up from childhood color our responses to loved ones and ourselves. We engage in behaviors that are disconnected from the person we really want to be. This feels awful.

Some patterns don't announce themselves. They just quietly decide who you love, what you tolerate, and where you stop before you even notice what happened.
I help you meet those patterns directly—through inner awareness and depth that brings what's hidden into view, so it stops running your outer life.
I blend somatic work, mindfulness, and deep self-inquiry to support you around relationships and behaviors which often mask deeper unintegrated experiences. I also support clients exploring somatic and psychedelic integration. My approach pairs evidence-based methods with contemplative practice, shaped by my own inner journeys.

By the time most couples find me, they’ve already tried communicating better, learning new skills, reading the books, or even previous therapy. Yet the same painful pattern keeps returning. The real question isn’t how to stop the conflict—it’s understanding what’s organizing it. Once that becomes visible, the relationship starts making sense.

What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection.
How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
