Now accepting new clients for my "Contemplating Retirement" Group and for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy! Navigating the world can be exhilarating and challenging. I am passionate about supporting you in thriving, not just surviving. I am here to listen, to care, to celebrate joys and support struggles. I will encourage and empower you to embrace your strengths, engage meaningfully, and live your life authentically.

Scheduling individual clients only. I use a holistic and eclectic approach in therapy because I believe our mind, body, and environment impact our well-being. I want to truly learn about the life experience and driving forces for each person I work with. I specialize in relationships and trauma- childhood neglect or abuse, a family member’s death, high stress jobs (health care, first responders), infidelity and conflict, or abrupt ends or changes in relationships. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life or what to do with your relationships, it's to support you as you find a life that's fulfilling and meaningful to you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life or struggling to find answers to powerful questions? I provide therapy to adults, adolescents, children, and families who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, separation, grief and loss, or you may have something that feels overwhelming to you. I create an environment of openness and acceptance where you will be able to work towards healing and growth. I believe in a strength based, client centered, family systems approach that keeps in mind the numerous events that shape our lives and how our early attachments formulate future relating.

If you, your child, or your teenager are struggling, I would like to lend some support. I am passionate about helping individuals who are experiencing symptoms associated with developmental or interpersonal trauma, stress and anxiety, depression, developmental differences, or other mental health challenges. I take a person-centered and attachment-oriented approach to personal growth, believing that if I create a safe space and offer unconditional, nonjudgmental support, you will naturally move toward health and healing.

Do you feel unlovable or that you are not enough? Do you feel like you are always searching for acceptance from others? Do you feel like there is constant conflict in your relationship with your partner or family? You don’t have to struggle with this alone, and you don’t have to feel like this forever. I can help you! I work with individuals, couples, and families, providing them with assistance in working through the many challenges of life. I want to connect with you and create a space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. I also use my experience as an athlete and knowledge in sports psychology to help athletes succeed!

Waitlist for new clients. I offer individual therapy to children, adolescents, families, and adults who are looking to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve relationships and communication, or who simply wish to live a more mindful and connected life. My treatment approach is rooted in the desire to help clients find a deeper understanding of their emotions, patterns of thinking, and other mental processes from a client-centered, strength-based treatment perspective. My goal as a therapist is to encourage each of my clients to develop a deeper awareness to promote positive change in a supportive space.

My personal belief is that every person is valuable and has the potential to overcome negative events of the past, find acceptance in their unique identity, and engage in healthy, meaningful, and joy-filled relationships. I come from a passionate Colorado family that has taught me about the importance of caring, accepting, and loving others. These values have made me become an empathic and confident counselor.

As a Marriage and Family Intern, I do not have an "ideal" client at this time.

Now accepting new clients and supervisees! I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and co-founder of Wise Womxn Wellness, a wellness collaborative passionate about empowering women of all ages & in all seasons of life. With experience as a birth doula, I also have a special interest in working with individuals and couples as they journey through reproductive matters- whether that be deciding whether and how to have children, struggling to have children, raising children, losing children, or deciding not to have children at all. I believe in the power of the mind-body connection and exploring ways to support & heal both.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues? Do you notice that past experiences seem to impact your life now in ways that create blocks or difficulty? Have you experienced recent loss or a stressful life change? Psychotherapy is a powerful resource to help restore direction and balance as well as facilitating self-understanding and emotional healing. Exploring and understanding who you are and how you became who you are is part of achieving desired change and growth. I bring 30+ years of experience, training, compassion and commitment to this collaborative and relational process.

***Not taking new clients at this time.*** Therapy can provide the resources, skills, and support to make positive transformations in your life. I'm sensitive to each individual's needs, goals, and comfort with the therapeutic process. My philosophy around change includes looking at past relational and emotional experiences, developing skills to manage difficult emotions in the present, and gaining insight into what might be creating barriers to a satisfying life. I offer this guidance in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship. I incorporate self-exploration and coping skill development to help reach your desired goals.
