I have worked with clients for over twenty years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and it is my passion to help each person foster a lighthearted relationship with the self, especially during times of need. Together, I work with my clients to discover self-compassion and internal strengths and resources that can often be hidden, forgotten, or clouded by the difficult experiences that life presents. From this place of self awareness, new skills and lasting change can form.

My clinical style includes meeting you where you are at in your unique life experiences (i.e.; stress, change, depression, etc.) then helping you make sense of your problems in a meaningful way while also learning tangible coping skills and discovering creative solutions. My work is infused with curiosity and I'm dedicated to the process of unfolding our full potential, through the life phases. I cater to what is ready to be consciously explored, healed and transformed. My foundation is in evidenced based practices and other eclectic modalities as appropriate (see below for more details).

I specialize in using mindfulness-based approaches to treat clients struggling with general & social anxiety; depression; identity development; authentic self-expression & embodiment; coping with life transitions; identifying best choices for life path & finding one's purpose; integrating psychedelic or spiritual experiences; boundary setting; & communicating effectively in relationship. My approach to therapy focuses on empowering clients by to direct their life's course with confidence & know-how, providing skills for successful emotional regulation & creating therapeutic opportunities for developing self-knowledge & inner-wisdom.

Is life passing you by? Worry, indecision, tension, nervousness, lack of confidence,compulsive behaviors, avoidance of people or situations- the pressures of life today make anxiety and depression familiar to us all. Feelings and relationships may seem messy and out of control or you may feel stuck in behaviors you don't like. Beliefs, patterns, and reactions based in the past may cause you to avoid the changes you most want to make. Recognizing these obstacles and developing the skills to work with them will allow you to develop the confidence in yourself that you need to live well

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

What is challenging for you at this time? Are you struggling to adjust to current circumstances, unsure how to think about and plan for the future? Are relationships, work, finances, home, schooling, health, or ways of enjoying life adversely impacted? Could you use support in relating to whatever difficult emotions are arising? Would guidance in how to address difficult issues be helpful? Would you like to explore opportunities within the challenges? Are you ready to grow and to expand? Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer you non-judgmental listening and skilled support.

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping people improve their lives and relationships; feel less stressed and more content. I take a down-to-earth approach that focuses on your particular needs, desires and goals. Then we come up with a plan for how to enable you to meet your goals. This involves finding out what is blocking you from having the kind of life you want, and taking the steps to overcome those obstacles. Once you understand the source of your difficulties, and have an ally to help you make the necessary changes, anything is possible.

I believe that the power of therapy lies in the process – in uncovering histories, identifying patterns, and finding new perspectives. I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by increasing insight into those struggles and learning to embrace emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. My hope as your therapist is that you'll leave with a strong sense of self and healing, with direction on how to be the person you want to be moving forward.

I offer a unique and dynamic approach to psychotherapy. I work with healing and alchemizing trauma, anxiety, depression, loss and life transitions. I specialize in working with people ready to take the deep dive to create healing and changes that lead to feelings and experiences of vitality, enjoyment, self love and clarity.

I am dedicated to providing a supportive, safe environment for clients to work on their own areas of concern. A relational model provides the context for this work, which is guided by each individual's needs. You can depend on my ability to offer warmth and compassion; respect your process; be educational and interactive; provide support and direction; and truly care. Clients report feeling better, having new insights and knowing they are supported while contemplating and effecting change in their lives. I am committed to assisting you on your journey.

Struggling through emotional difficulties can feel overwhelming. Friends and family may not have the tools to help you get your life back on track. Coming to therapy is a tremendous step to facilitate change. I provide an empathic and understanding environment to help clients work through their problems. I believe that a genuine and real connection between therapist and client is a key component of the therapeutic process. My belief is that in order to change oneself, a fuller understanding of oneself must occur. Working together, we can explore issues and meet your counseling needs.

I love working with people. I tend to be a really good listener, love to brainstorm, and am somewhat directive. I am very practical and real. I enjoy very much hearing and working to understand situations and patterns in a person's life, where are they repeating themselves, and how many ways are there to break up patterns that are not serving us. I am keen to see habits and places that shut us down, and like to work on and practice how that may shift, with much compassion on how scary that can be. I appreciate the vulnerability it takes to come in and share intimate and hard details about ourselves.

Adolescence and early adulthood holds a special place in my heart, because it is such ripe ground for discovery, yet many young people get stuck along the journey. I have worked with young people for over 10 years, who have struggled with social-anxiety and shyness, addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss issues, trauma, school issues, and complex family issues. While all of these can be horrific for the individual and families involved, the underlying resiliency present in each of these young people and families is the foundation that we build from in the healing process.

I am a psychotherapist and expressive arts therapist based in Boulder, CO. I use a trauma-informed approach that draws on the depth of relational psychoanalysis, the practicality of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the expressive magic of somatic and art-based approaches. I love working with anxiety and OCD-related disorders, embodiment and trauma healing, relationship issues, gifted populations, and people looking to nurture their creativity. I work with adults, couples, and teens. I’m especially passionate about the journey of individuation while holding each unique life story in a social justice context.
