I specialize in the areas of child/adolescent behavioral concerns, bullying, family loss, women-specific concerns and family relationship issues. I have a strong background in trauma and PTSD work relating to adolescents, adults and specifically, women. I am certified in EMDR. My therapeutic approach lends itself towards working with the whole family and outside providers whenever possible. Hard work can be done with the right balance of challenge and heart. I believe in my clients and am willing to do whatever it takes to guide them and their loved ones through the process of healing.

I have worked in the personal growth field since 1991, both in encounter group weekends for adults and similar summer camps for children and teens. Both programs provided relationship skills training, conflict resolution, community building, and personal growth for children and their families.

Working in private practice since graduating in 2004, I have also worked at various treatment centers treating Eating Disorders and Distressed Youth working with individuals, couples and families.

Trained in Internal Family Systems, I currently I specialize in working with: Depression Anxiety Emotional Disturbances Eating Disorders Family Conflict Relationship Issues Children (Play Therapy) Teens Couples (especially conflict, communication, and parenting) Divorce and Recent Breakups Grief and Loss (including pet loss) Spirituality

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults and adolescents as well as DBT Group Therapy. I love what I do and have worked in mental health since 2008! I also offer nature-based sessions in Boulder upon request.

I'm LGBTQIA+ friendly and passionate about using trauma-informed approaches as well as Mindfulness breathing techniques and Values Exploration to work with people who are navigating anxiety, grief and loss, struggling with addiction or OCD, or moving through gender transitions, coming out, or questioning their sexuality or spirituality to name a few of my favorite types of work!
