I am Riversage Family Counseling's virtual practitioner, hailing from Western Colorado.
Communication is a passion of mine. Dr. Steven Hayes, the creator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy often points to the use of language as a source of suffering for humans. I truly agree that the way we talk to and about ourselves and others has a deep impact on our worldview and thus our interactions with world around us. I love working with teens and adults to improve mental wellbeing by helping them to find the roots of distress and working together to find improved ways of coping and engaging with stressors.

My background includes family therapy, crisis response, intimate partner abuse, and yoga teacher training.
I believe an excellent therapist meets every client where they’re at. Navigating this world with presence and grace is more accessible and meaningful with someone to help process your experiences. We all need someone to talk to sometimes, and I strive to create an integrated and unique safe space for each client to unfold their narratives, fears, hopes and discover their untapped resources. Many people grapple with traumatic stress. It can interfere with our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. Ignoring or suppressing it may be tempting but will only make it worse.

My background in group and family dynamics, mediation, mindfulness, and somatic-based experiencing will support the work we do together.
I work with individuals, couples, and families in person and online. While we will create specific, therapeutic goals that are unique to your situation, my hope is that working together will ultimately support you in feeling more clear, authentic, connected, alive, and at peace. Our time together will start by building connection and trust; a safe environment to explore and identify unhelpful patterns. From there, we will collaborate and explore new ways of responding, thinking, and engaging. The nature of this work together is often steeped in vulnerability and can require courage.

Thank you for your interest in therapy. Curiosity, a desire for more out of life, or a need for help, are all powerful motivators and reaching out is the first step…. maybe the most important one for each of us. In raising children, navigating marriage, balancing career and family, life’s victories and losses have fortified, in me, a passion for this work. I enjoy helping individuals and couples to respond in beneficial ways to circumstances and experiences out of one's control and to empower the path, forward, toward personal dreams and values.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
