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.
EMDR trained; also trained in ERP with the International OCD Foundation. I've worked with Rose House Addiction & Mental Health Treatment Center, Faculty & Staff Assistance Program CU Boulder, Naropa Community Counseling Center, Sutherland Bipolar Center, Mental Health Partners, Women’s Center in Cambridge, MA, & Safehouse Progressive Alliance on Nonviolence.
In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I teach in the art therapy & visual arts departments at Naropa University. I'm also a writer, musician, and visual artist with lifelong experience studying and training in contemplative practices.
