Maybe your mind never slows down, your body stays on alert, or past experiences continue to affect your relationships and daily life. You may be navigating trauma, ADHD or neurodivergence, military experiences, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from the people you love. I work with teens, adults, veterans, couples and families who want to better understand themselves, their nervous system and their relationships. Therapy doesn't have to mean sitting still and talking—I offer a creative, sensory-friendly space where we can find approaches that work for you.
I integrate EMDR, somatic and nervous-system work, sandtray, expressive approaches and Gottman-informed relationship therapy. My Grand Junction office is designed with neurodivergent clients in mind, offering opportunities for movement, sensory regulation and different ways of processing when words alone aren't enough.
I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling understood rather than judged or expected to fit into one way of healing. Whether you're working through trauma, understanding your neurodivergent brain, navigating military experiences or rebuilding connection in a relationship, we'll create a path that fits you. Reach out to see if we're a good fit.
