While my therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from multiple theories, the foundation for all of my work is based on systems theory. I believe our past and current relationships influence our behavior and interactions with others. We all play a role in our relationships with partners, family members, friends, coworkers, classmates. Our roles and those of others change over time and often old ways of functioning no longer work in new relationships. I will help you discover more effective ways of interacting with others to get your needs met and feel more supported by the important people in your life. I work with children and families, couples and adults.

I am Somatic Psychotherapist with a passion for helping my clients cultivate the relationships that we all innately desire. I work with individuals & couples, as well as train Mental Health Professionals. As a Somatic Practitioner, Dance Instructor, Massage Therapist, & Personal Trainer, I've had two decades of experience at grounding my therapeutic approach in the body & support my clients in tapping into their own unique & innate wisdom. I help clients identify internal "signals" that habitually get them off-track, short-circuit ineffective relational habits, & strengthen internal states that are crucial for developing thriving intimate relationships. I am the President of Colorado Couples Clinic, PC, am trained in EFT, PEX, Gottman, as well as numerous other approaches, including being trauma-informed and attachment and Somatic based.
