I believe in working together to create a safe, judgement free space in the therapeutic setting that is both relational and clinical.
Are you wanting to feel different, think differently or have different relationships? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps you feel better faster. You might be wanting to heal from trauma, or improve your performance, strengthen your connection to others, or lead in healthier ways. I am EMDR Certified and an EMDR Consultant. To support EMDR therapy I also use attachment theory, ego state and parts work and include HeartMath, a science-based biofeedback in treatment. As we work together, the work integrates helping calm the nervous system to provide more integration and improve overall health and wellness.

My collaborative approach is relational, helping individuals meet goals, and build self-compassion and acceptance.
If you’ve been feeling unworthy, lonely, anxious, or stressed, reaching out for support can be a positive first step towards healing. It’s important to know you do not have to go through this alone. Talking with someone can allow you to see how your thought patterns and actions impact the way you feel. My specialties include working with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also support individuals who are highly sensitive and struggling caregivers who often put their own mental health aside to care for others.

I do virtual therapy with clients here in Colorado. Most of my clients are seeking assistance in mitigating the stressors in their lives. Family relationships; grief/loss; difficulties with parenting or accepting parenting; substance use; crises of faith...all these issues are present in my practice. Most are looking for direction; someone to help sort through the problem and achieve an adaptive resolution. They are distressed that they are at odds with family; concerned over the loss of control with substances; and some are wondering about their purpose in the world.

Sometimes life can leave the best of us feeling helpless, unlovable, and lonely. While Western culture promotes emotional independence as a strength, attachment science is discovering the opposite: humans are wired to experience vulnerability in connection with one another. From this evidence-based approach, my first priority is to build a genuine connection with you that fosters openness, trust, and compassion - to provide a safe haven where you can begin to develop curiosity and awareness around patterns that no longer serve you while helping you uncover a more authentic story of you and your place in the world.

I have worked in a variety of settings during my 20 years in the field of mental health. These include medical and psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment facilities, college counseling centers and, for the past twelve years, my private practice. This breadth of experience is a great asset and allows me to feel comfortable working with almost any client issues, but I still find that a grounded common sense is my best tool as a therapist. I also feel that I am able to express my perceptions in a manner that clients are able to hear, understand and take into consideration.

I tend to approach therapy through the exploration of current and past relationships in your life. Together, we look for relationship patterns that you would like to change because they are troublesome to you. I work with individuals, couples and families to help sort out problems and identify emotions with the goal of feeling better. Our work may include new ways to think about problems and/or new coping strategies to more effectively deal with them.

Relational Therapists
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
