I highly value trust and connection in order for humans to heal. I bring my authentic self and transparency into session in order to give clients the ability to be fully themselves. My goal is to help ease psychological suffering brought on by trauma and other negative life circumstances and then make sense of the overwhelming emotions/responses. It is through compassion and connection that corrective emotional experiences can occur. I believe that our ability to both experience and understand our Self and others is a key component in building secure (emotionally safe) relationships.

I have spent most of my life studying movement. After teaching dance, the Alexander Technique, and breathing coordination for many years, I became astutely aware of the profound relationships between emotions and our biology. My clinical social work practice is deeply rooted in exploring the nervous system and acknowledging patterns within the external systems in which one lives. If you feel stuck in your body or way of thinking, please contact me. If you experience excessive muscular tension, dissociation, or medical diagnoses such as ADHD or autoimmune disease, I believe change and healing are possible.

Therapy in CO, DC & VA for breakups, anxiety, depression and stress. I work with clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships (peer, spousal, dating, breakups), sleep issues, and life transitions. My approach is based on my belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and having a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel understood, accepted, connected, can share and explore their experiences, strengthen and expand upon coping skills, and develop insights.

I provide couples counseling and individual therapy to adults of all ages and teenagers ages 16+. I believe healing happens in relationships where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe. As an LGBTQ-identifying and bicultural therapist, I understand how affirming, identity-aware therapy can make a meaningful difference. I strive to create a space where all parts of you, including your identities, relationships, and lived experiences, are welcomed and respected. I particularly enjoy working with young adults navigating life transitions and individuals managing autoimmune conditions.

When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. There is a solution. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any experience or pattern of experiences that overwhelms our resources. If we don't have enough safety, support and understanding to process it, we store it. And when this stored trauma gets triggered, it interferes with our ability to be present and engaged in our lives. The good news is that you don't have to let trauma run your life anymore.

I work with couples who want to improve the quality of their relationships. They often come to therapy feeling chronically stuck and unhappy together, having trouble communicating, and desperately longing to feel connected again. They are in need of a supportive space to slow things down and get to the "heart of the matter" so that they can build a relationship that provides mutual support, companionship, enjoyment.
Although I specialize in couples, I do also see families (all members must be 14+ years) and individuals. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in either of those modalities.

In my practice, I always start with genuine empathy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. My therapeutic approach is action-oriented and primarily present-focused.

Through helping develop coping skills, healthy boundaries and positive self-talk mantras, I empower my clients to face and overcome the obstacles in their path.

I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking counseling services for a variety of reasons. Many of my clients have depressive, anxious, or disordered eating symptoms. Others are in life transitions or are seeking support with something such as athletic performance. I believe counseling can benefit everyone and collaborate with clients on individual goals. Together we reflect, build upon strengths, and apply new strategies to increase fulfillment. I am happy to meet at my office, via video, or outside for a walk.

I strive to create a nonjudgmental and compassionate space for my clients to feel safe to talk about their problems and process their thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, helping clients identify and achieve their goals - relationships, professional, or self growth.
