Heal your past for the last time. Trauma and depression requires more than just talk. Most traditional talk therapies do not go deep enough. Relief comes but only lasts a short while. I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to reach the core of your being to create lasting change. This is because it works on the deepest past of your consciousness and nervous system. Once that is healed, then we can change the emotions and thought patterns.

With an MS in Pharmacy: Medical Cannabis Science & Therapeutics from the University of Maryland Pharmacy School - a new program and the only one in the country, the degree was awarded in 2022. A former journalism professor at CU Boulder, I create educational materials about medical cannabis and consult with cannabis patients, therapists, and medical providers. Being a cancer survivor created a huge and ongoing interest in emotional health and wellness.

We specialize in the treatment of Complex PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. We utilize evidence based therapeutic methods to effectively address symptoms. EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Rapid Resolution Therapy and so much more.

I believe human beings have intrinsic worth that we strive for well being, self-expression, and meaning. I believe that people can solve their own problems better and will grow when they get to know and experience themselves in a greater depth and are able to see themselves in new ways.
I am a licensed psychotherapist. In my practice I use art process, the body, and relaxation techniques. Years of Buddhist meditation practice and as a trained Meditation Instructor and years of Yoga practice with certification as a Yoga instructor influence my work. As well, I served in the Peace Corps in Niger and in the Crisis Corps in Guinea in refugee camps (Serria Leone and Liberian Conflicts).
