Grounded Hearts Couples Co-therapy is a natural reflection of the dynamic between two committed human beings. This unique approach to couples therapy places the couple with two therapists at the same time, which ensures that each person is supported, challenged and met. Grounded in gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and interpersonal neurobiology, the Grounded Hearts approach effectively strives to create a safe container for couples to explore what is truly possible in a committed, healthy, dynamic, fun and passionate relationship. Ground Counseling works with teens and adults in body-centered, present-moment approach that is firmly based in modern attachment theory, and mindfulness-based practices that are informed by current understanding of who we are as human beings.

I am a registered psychotherapist in Colorado and a board-certified art therapist in private practice. I work with children adolescents and adults facing the challenges of depression, PTSD, relationship, communication and body image issues, anxiety, "stuckness," and life transitions.

I work with clients using both verbal psychotherapy and non-verbal methods (art therapy, writing). Clients I have worked with have found art-making, such as collage, painting, drawing, poetry, as well as photography, productive methods to reduce stress, promote self-awareness, and gain insights about themselves. Also, I'm excited to announce that I've added the option of animal-assisted psychotherapy to my practice.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with Anxiety, OCD, and OCD related Disorders. I have extensive post graduate training in the treatment of these disorders with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.) These are evidence based therapies, meaning that in scientific studies they have been shown to be the most effective therapies for Anxiety and OCD. I also offer a CBT group for children with Anxiety called the The Brave Kids Group. In the group we use mindfulness, CBT, and Exposure Therapy to help children ( ages 7 to 11) learn what causes anxiety, develop coping strategies, and face and overcome their fears. I also sponsor a support group for teens with OCD.
