(Accepting new clients for in-person individual & couples therapy in Golden, CO) In my work with couples and individuals, I use Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on creating a space that feels both structured and supportive—a place where you can slow down, truly understand yourself and each other, and rebuild connection with compassion and skill. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a big life transition, or healing from a betrayal, we’ll work together to identify the patterns keeping you disconnected from yourself or your partner and practice new ways of relating that restore trust and closeness.
My style integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and strength-based, trauma-informed frameworks. I help individuals & partners recognize their negative interaction cycles, explore underlying needs, and rebuild emotional safety through intentional dialogue and connection.
Relationships can be both our greatest challenge and our greatest opportunity for growth. I feel honored to help couples turn toward one another—to move from disconnection to understanding. I love working with queer couples and those with non-traditional relationship structures. I hope that we can schedule a free, no-obligation, 15-minute consultation.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals who have experienced trauma. We'll work through a specific, multi-stage process, accessing emotions that may be difficult to uncover and exploring beliefs that may be holding you back. Along the way, we may practice setting boundaries and expressing emotions vulnerably. Most of my clients experience relief within the first two months.
