My way of working with clients mirrors my way of being in the world. I see the great potential we each hold as human beings and the thirst we have to solve our issues and move forward. I believe that our lives are intricately designed to deliver us just the right challenges we need to take the next step in our development-- and sometimes we need a teacher, a counselor, or guide to help us see this bigger picture, to learn some practical skills for soothing ourselves in tough times, and to invoke our inner strength. I am a licensed counseling psychologist by training, but beyond that, I am a fellow human being on the path, and am enthusiastic about helping others find and connect with their strength, learn to trust themselves, and open to the infinite wisdom that is our true nature. I look forward to working with you!

Fulfillment looks different for everyone, which is why I take a holistic approach to counseling. My core training is in somatics, and I'm certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I also draw on my background in philosophy, somatic bodywork, psychosis treatment, supporting high achievers and gifted individuals, as well as yoga and movement practices. I specialize in complex trauma with co-occurring mind/body symptoms, difficult relationships, giftedness, and unusual experiences that are hard to put into words. In addition to my clinical work, I organize trainings for the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and teach in the MBTC program at Naropa University. I work to understand my clients deeply, challenge them with compassion, and help build the kind of autonomy and confidence that supports clear, self-directed decision-making.

My passion lies in doing depth psychotherapy, which involves making unconscious processes conscious and facilitating others in developing insight into their emotions and behaviors. I also particularly enjoy working with eating disorders and body image, food related, or compulsive exercise issues. However, I am happy to work with most difficulties people struggle with in their daily lives.
