I am an active and highly engaged therapist working with both therapeutic and educational tools, to help individuals and couples achieve the healthiest relationships and interactive styles in their lives.

If you're reading this I want to encourage you to keep the momentum! Reaching out to a therapist is one of the most difficult and hopeful things you can do and it’s worth it! I work with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship issues. I've been a psychologist for over 35 years and I still love the work. My approach incorporates a spiritual orientation; this is due to working with people who are in recovery, and my own journey. Spiritual based psychotherapy is not about religion, but about accessing the Power that surrounds us, the power of Love. I am an active, engaging therapist with a sense of humor, it’s good to laugh.

As a counselor, I aim to cultivate a deep, authentic connection that encourages safety, vulnerability, and trust. I know it takes time to build this type of therapeutic relationship and I will follow your lead with the pace that feels safest to you while incorporating gentle encouragement to go deeper when appropriate. Once established, this relationship is the foundation for all of our work together.

Are you feeling shrouded in shame and confusion about your sexual desires or identity? Do activities that once brought feelings of closeness and pleasure now bring up loneliness and uncertainty? Sexual issues are completely normal, and you nor your partner are broken. My goal is to help you move towards feeling self-empowered and comfortable in your own skin. Sex and sexual identity are very personal topics that can feel embarrassing or isolating to speak to someone about - everyone is deserving of happiness and inner peace, and I am committed to helping you find your voice so you can advocate for your needs and desires.

Do you feel stuck in life? Do you find yourself questioning why you do the things you do, day in and day out? We all come to certain points in our lives where we take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves “who have I become?” Whether it be a momentary season of life - or a life long hardship - grief, trauma, self-worth, and relationship issues can plague us and steal our ability to fully engage in the lives we dreamed of. Instead, we settle for the isolation and suffering we know because those hopes and dreams feel unattainable. I am a firm believer that there is hope for change and hope for a brighter future.

I believe in the deep integration of your soul's inherent wisdom, and trust that you have the answers within you that you need in order to heal and thrive. Many of us carry trauma, fear, and confusion in our bodies that makes it difficult to feel safe or at peace. You may wonder why you keep attracting similar situations and hardships, and be searching for a way out. I believe you have the potential to overcome the pain of your past and channel that energy into your power and life force. I'm here for those who are ready to do the work to create peace within and without. I hope that your path has guided you here for a reason.

Clients who work best with me are curious and open. They're ready for a deep dive in self-discovery in order to ditch the old patterns that hold them back. Many of my clients are currently (or prepping for) exploring ethical non-monogamy. Others may be navigating big life changes, like pregnancy, graduating college, or a big move. My clients are eager to feel confident, fulfilled, and fully alive. Together, we will navigate towards stability, confidence, and excitement in your life and relationships!

Life can be difficult to navigate even under the best of circumstances. I believe that counseling can provide clients with new insights into how they can use their strengths in order to meet whatever challenges life presents them with. My job as a counselor is to help clients identify those strengths and learn how to apply them in order to overcome their concerns and live more content lives.

Are you suffering from Anxiety, Depression, attention issues like ADHD, or recovering from a Brain Injury? Do you feel like you are not living up to your full potential? Have traditional counseling techniques not worked for you? Neuro Colorado is different. We focus on changing how your brain is functioning to bring permanent relief to your symptoms. Because mental health issues are also brain issues we start at the source. We integrate the most effective counseling techniques like CBT and EMDR with cutting edge neurofeedback and neuromodulation techniques to bring about lasting change in a warm and caring environment.

Every individual is on a unique path filled with twists, turns, and challenges that shape their life. Sometimes, it can be helpful to walk alongside a companion who is dedicated to working with you to achieve your goals, bring you insight, and empower you to move towards genuine fulfillment. I am passionate about honoring your story and how it shapes your thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs. Because no two individuals are the same, your therapeutic work should reflect your individual needs and objectives. I blend narrative therapy, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and parts work to help you meet your therapy goals.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church you were raised in. Or perhaps you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could just move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

I enjoy working with people to get grounded and focused when they feel overwhelmed and too stressed. I am highly skilled in treating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, and complex relationships. Together, we will create a plan of what you want to see change in your life and target new strategies to help you live a life of joy, confidence, peace and connection. I offer individual and couples therapy. My professional passions include neurobiology and re-integration, mind-body connections, relational health, intergenerational healing, multicultural practice, and resilience.
