My goal is to help clients feel safe and supported to explore areas in their life that need attention. With compassion and understanding, clients learn to address fears, pain, and hurt. With experience and training, I help clients feel more skilled and empowered to create change in their life. Couples, young adults, and personal growth are a few of my specialty areas.

Couples feel more equipped in navigating challenges and conflicts safely, authentically, and successfully. Couples also gain more skills and resources in deepen levels of intimacy, closeness, and connection.

Young adults feel more confident in handling life stressors and difficult situations. Also, young adults learn new skills and ways of relating to create more overall success in their lives, relationships, and personal well-being.

My colleague, Lila, and I are two neurodivergent therapists serving the neurodivergent community in Boulder and greater Colorado. We offer in-person and Telehealth sessions. We are currently taking new clients.

We are especially excited to announce a neurodivergent process group where clients can explore authentic self-expression, neurodivergence, and interpersonal connection in service of genuine relationships. Please share about our group with any of your neurodivergent (ND) and/or ND-questioning clients! You can find our flyer and more information about our group at neurodiversecounseling.com.

Lila and I are here as a resource to therapists and clients alike, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us!

With the help of chefs and local farmers, we had a mission to create the tastiest meals for those training with us. Over time we perfected the taste and nutrition of our meals by using the highest quality ingredients. This gave our clients amazing results and incredible tasting meals.
