If you’re here perusing these therapist profiles, it’s probably because something’s not quite right. Maybe you hate your job, feel stuck in it, or have trouble finding one that feels congruent for you. Maybe it’s some turbulence occurring in your relationship– or the absence of a relationship when you long for one. Or perhaps something awful happened and you just can’t get it out of your head.

I believe pleasure and intimacy are key components to realizing your own worth. Whether you are looking to connect more deeply to yourself, a partner, or a community, I am here to reflect your own capacity for joy and fulfillment back to you. Therapy is about connection, and I bring my openness, curiosity, and sense of humor into my sessions. I use a blend of techniques from emotionally-focused therapy, somatic psychotherapy, sex therapy, and yoga to work with both individuals and partners.

My practice is based on anti-oppressive principles & embodied awareness. I work with people of all sexualities & genders to address depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, family conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem, & trauma using a holistic approach to healing. I have expertise in addressing sexual violence & the traumatic effects of systems (racism, sexism, homophobia etc). I encourage clients to nurture their inner voice, to gently observe what happens in the present moment, & to engage actively in the therapeutic process. My practice is poly, kink & sex worker affirming.

It can be both rewarding and vulnerable to begin or continue therapy: I create a warm, non-judgmental space for reworking old patterns that may not serve you anymore. Life experiences, environment, circumstances, and cultural systems of power all shape our understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us. Together we can explore what matters to you most, where you may feel stuck and how you can find more ease. To inform our work, I primarily draw on your history and relational experiences, your own body’s feedback, information from contemporary neuroscience, and our in-session interactions.

*I am currently on a wait list for new clients* Worried that your therapist is going to give you a blank stare as soon as you start talking about your sex life? Want more than just a nod and a "hmmm" from your therapist? Let's do this! I am passionate about providing non-pathologizing care for queer, nonmonogamous, kinky, and gender diverse individuals, relationships, and families. Together we will work through your growing pains and old stories and make an action plan that translates from session to real life. If you're ready to change something, and you're ready to start today- you've come to the right place.

I value the innate wisdom of each individual as the guiding force of our work together. With extensive training in serving diverse populations, I work through a Health at Every Size lens and welcome clients from all racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and eating disorders and the intersection of attachment and sensory processing issues. I also work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, learning differences, issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community, parenting and resolving shock trauma.

Telehealth available! I relish working with individuals of color, and LGBTQQIA+ and immigrant communities. I particularly love partnering with adolescents and young adults embarking on the task of identity formation. I work with Individuals ages 12+, as well as Parents (as a certified Triple P parenting provider), or Families. Working with me as a therapist you can expect someone who is warm, adaptable with evidence-based modalities, and focused on YOUR values. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and parenting provider. I speak Spanish fluently!

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Painful memories and recurrent conflict can strain relationships. Work stress gets in the way of being present and feeling fulfilled. People often work with me to get things moving when they feel blocked or stuck, to develop calm where uncertainty has them off balance. Our work will reveal insight to restore stability, address trauma, and change outlook towards realizing an improved sense of self. Together we can work to identify and harness strength, addressing challenges with new clarity and inspiration.

Pain and trauma make it hard to be fully present with others and ourselves. My goal is to help you build the capacity for deep, authentic connections. I support folks of all gender identities and sexual orientations heal from eating disorders, trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, and depression. My work is somatic, anti-oppressive, and relational. As a Health At Every Size© clinician, I firmly believe all bodies are worthy of dignity, respect, and care. I provide an open, non-judgmental, and warm space to process emotions with curiosity and compassion.

Congratulations on embarking upon the next step in your journey! Each of these steps — every experience of bliss, fear, frustration, or sorrow — have all lead you to this very moment. The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too. And while I would rather that each of us would be spared these experiences — it is my hope that I may have a chance to partner alongside you as you grow and, ideally, heal from each of them.

Things are hard right now. You're here because you want things to be different and don't quite know how to make that happen. I want to help you feel hopeful, powerful, and in control of your life. Whether you're feeling pain from trauma/abuse, engaging in behaviors that are no longer working for your life (self-harming, substance use, disordered eating), or struggling with relationships, I can help. I have a person-centered approach so I can meet you at your current point in life and support you in reaching your goals.

I believe that everyone has the ability to find power within themselves to create a life that works best for them. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, bipolar disorder, dissociative episodes and life transitions.

Taking the step to find a therapist can be overwhelming. I am glad you are here. My goal is to provide a safe space for self-exploration, change, and healing. I work with children, teenagers, adults, and families dealing with a variety of challenges, including painful feelings, emotional numbness, undesired behaviors, unhelpful thinking, mood challenges, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, life changes, and ongoing stress. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, compassionate, collaborative, and empowering. I see you, I am here for you, and I believe in you.

Struggling with self-criticism, a life out-of-balance, or the past taking up too much of your present can feel lonely. Often the coping strategies that helped us survive can develop into problems themselves and figuring out the best way forward can feel overwhelming. I am honored to work alongside individuals as they discover their inner strengths and develop new, helpful strategies to experience and navigate life. I work to foster self-compassion and self-worth in my practice.

**Not accepting new clients currently**I am highly experienced with those who find themselves stuck in unproductive or damaging patterns and have been unable to move forward, even with other professional help. The feedback I receive from fellow providers and clients is that I have a high success rate of treatment and recovery. I believe that outpatient psychotherapy is a process of collaboration that provides a stable, supportive environment for achieving psychological wellness. Each of us are unique and the best expert on the stressors in our daily life. I offer in home and office visits.

We all need support to walk through our lives with purpose, power, and joy. It takes bravery to seek support, so welcome to the threshold of change. I work with children, adults, and families using play-based and trauma-informed therapy to support reflection, growth, and recovery. Together we can address behavioral issues, stressful transitions like divorce, grief, adoption, and birth, and the conflicts of identity. Using evidence-based strategies, I partner with adults, teens, and children across a spectrum of diagnoses and life experiences to remove barriers and build strengths.

My hope is to offer a warm and open environment where we can better understand you, your relationships, and your life challenges. We all feel stuck at times, and I am glad you are reaching out for support. I want to walk beside you as you cope with a difficult career, go through a major life change, or have relationship issues. You do not have to face this alone. Together we can find ways to cope and move forward that will leave you feeling more fulfilled. I would be honored to be a part of your healing process.

People often seek therapy when they feel stuck in suffering and want to make changes in their lives. These changes can involve making difficult choices, moving in a new direction, and learning to cope with past or current painful experiences in order to exist and move through the world in a new way. I respect the vulnerability involved in seeking help and work to build the connection and safety needed to support clients in both desired growth and acceptance of present realities. I value being kind, authentic, playful, and thoughtfully honest as a person and as a therapist.

People come to me because they want to better understand addiction, mental health, and often how to treat both at the same time. Mood and anxiety disorders are common for those struggling with addiction, and not receiving the right care can result in increased relapses and a poor quality of life. When a new client is ready to work with me they will find a compassionate and open counselor with the knowledge to treat multiple disorders and to deal with each one effectively. Being collaborative, I enjoy involving others in the recovery process including family members, physicians, and getting connected to community-based recovery.

*WAITLIST ONLY* I provide teletherapy for both Colorado and North Carolina residents. Individuals: I work with people experiencing the remnants and recoil of trauma, including systemic trauma, and how it impacts mood, meaning, and relationship issues. My job is to help you explore the unknown and rejected parts of you, learning how to change your relationship to those parts so that you can live a more connected and meaningful life. I work with adults with a wide variety of backgrounds and presenting concerns and specialize in working with queer and trans folks .
