As a dedicated therapist, I focus on supporting women and mothers through a safe, non-judgmental space. My therapy style is supportive, compassionate, and tailored to fit your individual needs. My goal is to understand your values, perspectives, and experiences and offer therapy that meets you where you are and guides you to where you want to be. I am a mental health advocate who believes therapy isn’t about fixing people who are broken; it’s about healing from hurt, challenging beliefs that no longer serve us, and building new perspectives. Therapy is a gateway to prioritizing yourself, your relationships, and your overall health.

I empower clients to experience the best version of their relationships, support clients through family transitions, and assist parents in becoming the type of caregiver they wish to become. These goals can be met through a variety of methods including individual therapy, pregnant and postpartum support, couples therapy, parenting support, family therapy, and premarital counseling. Navigating the nuances of family life can be extremely challenging which is why I take a client-centered and unique approach to each person whom I have the honor of walking with in their journey.

Do you often find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed about work, relationships, or life's uncertainties? Are you going through a major life change, such as entering parenthood, career shifts, or relocating, and struggling to adapt? Have you experienced a significant loss and need support to process your emotions? If you're seeking to break free from the stress and overwhelm due to life transitions, then I am here to help you regain control, find your inner strength, and build resilience.

Externally you're highly successful. But internally you feel like a hot mess. The "critical voice" inside of your head is constantly nagging you. It tells you that you’re a fraud, that you’ll be discovered eventually, and everyone will reject you. You have an "angry part" that brings brutal emotions and leaves you shipwrecked for days. Then the “I’m not worthy’’ part that plays on repeat in your mind. Sadly, you've heard it so often, that you believe it. And the "needy" part that causes anxiety as it looks around every corner for validation, and is devastated when it doesn't get it. These parts work overtime, leaving you exhausted.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals facing relationship transitions (divorce, coparenting, platonic partnership consideration, etc.), sexual or relational desire and orientation differences (including kink, non-monogamy, and sexual orientation, gender transitions, and more), sexual and religious trauma (for ex., "exvangelicals" and queer folks with oppression trauma), intimate partner violence trauma, healing from a breach of trust, coming out and gender exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. I frequently work with LGBTQIA/queer couples and the parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. I do work with youth 14+.

Connection and unconditional positive respect are crucial for a balanced life because life is incredibly complex and always changing. Encouraging others to find and strengthen self-compassion and self-awareness as they embark on their own recovery journey is my passion.

Talk therapy for your intersecting identities. We are adept at navigating the difficult and complex conversations about your intersecting identities that can ebb and flow over one's life. In addition, we are committed to ongoing education and skilled at therapeutic intervention for psychological healing. By talking through the challenges you face, we collaborate with you to interrupt old patterned behavior and install new conclusions and behaviors that lead to constructive coping, personal growth, increased self-awareness, and feeling more comfortable within yourself.

I am an LCSW in Colorado with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in Women's Issues; relationships, pre/post partum, LGBTQIA+, parenting, sexual functioning, caring for aging parents, and so many more. All within the context of the invisible labor that we manage. Therapy does not always consider women's unique challenges. This is invalidating and blocks effective solutions. I will help you work within this bigger picture, so we can develop better strategies and facilitate real change.

If you are an ambitious woman in a constant state of stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion, you made it to the right place. Are you stuck in an endless loop of worry and fear, unable to enjoy life's simple pleasures? The weight of anxiety leaves you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unable to fully embrace the joys of life. Imagine a life where anxiety no longer holds you back, where you have the tools to conquer daily struggles, and where you feel a renewed sense of control and enjoyment of life.

Do you and your partner(s) constantly fight or avoid each other? Interested in Open Relationship or Non Monogamy? Are you reeling from infidelity? Has conflict in your polycule caused negative impacts in your daily lives? Need support navigating a big life change? Is there disconnect between your current beliefs, how you were brought up, and how you want to live NOW? I can help you embrace these differences and move beyond the beliefs that no longer serve you. Together we can bring your way of life and relationships in line with your beliefs. I accept these aspects of who you are and you to love these parts of you too.

I love working with people struggling with anxiety, panic, trauma, or who are pregnant/postpartum, who are wanting to figure out how to function better and feel more contentment and calm—even in today's increasingly overstimulating, complex, and inequitable world.
