You're the one everyone depends on, but inside you're exhausted. You overthink every conversation, say yes when you want to say no, and worry that setting boundaries will push people away. Maybe you're walking on eggshells, people-pleasing, or stuck in relationships where your needs always come last. It doesn't have to stay this way. Together we'll uncover what's driving these patterns, quiet the anxiety, and help you build relationships where you feel confident, respected, and emotionally safe.
My approach goes beyond coping skills. We'll heal the relationship patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen self-trust, and learn practical tools for setting healthy boundaries without guilt. You'll stop second-guessing yourself, communicate with confidence, and create secure, balanced relationships where you no longer lose yourself.
I specialize in relationship anxiety, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, trust issues, and boundary struggles for adults throughout Colorado. If you're ready to stop living for everyone else and finally feel at peace in your relationships, I'd love to help. Reach out today to schedule your free consult.

I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" therapy. I blend evidence-based science (EMDR, CBT, DBT) with deep compassion and humor. You'll leave our sessions not just feeling "heard," but with a clear understanding of your patterns and a tools to change them.

Anxiety often feels like a loud, persistent "noise" that won't shut off. We'll use targeted CBT to quiet that noise and provide practical tools for the moments you feel overwhelmed. We don't just manage your symptoms; we work to understand and heal the roots so you can experience true mental quiet.

Stuck in the same "loop"? Whether it's people-pleasing, boundary-crossing, or the fear of being "too much," we'll untangle the attachment patterns driving those behaviors. We move beyond "venting" to practice real-world communication and self-trust. Break the cycle and build a connection that lasts.

Trauma isn't just 'in your head'—it's how your body and brain stayed stuck in survival mode. Using EMDR, we work to 'reprocess' those painful memories so they no longer feel like they are happening in the present. My goal is to help you move from a state of constant 'high alert' to a place of genuine safety and peace.
