Licensed in CO and WY! It takes a lot of courage to seek help. I welcome you to a safe space for exploring exactly what you need. I specialize in women's therapy, reclaiming your life after trauma, and sex therapy. I am comfortable talking about all things, especially when it comes to sex and intimacy! Do you feel stuck, unhappy or are you in crisis? Do you wonder if sexual pleasure can happen for you? Perhaps you feel alone with your thoughts or worries or controlled by the negative “voices” in your head? Are you and your partner fighting more or growing distant? I can help you identify your sticking points and find relief.
I have a good understanding of where you're coming from! My 20+ years of experience as a therapist and program administrator, have given me the tools to tailor therapy to your needs and comfort level. Our work together will feel like a safe, private conversation all about you. Together, we'll talk about what's going on and how life can become easier for you.
Change is possible. Please reach out to discuss the direction you'd like for your life and to see if we're a 'good fit.' I'd like to be a part of you starting to feel better. Be well.
