I am a body and movement based therapist using a trauma-informed and client-centered approach. I specialize in transitions, and working with individuals affected by chronic, critical, and life-threatening illness, as well as grief, loss, death, and dying. I emphasize empowering the self, while also being able to be in relationship. I have experience working with co-dependency, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and addictive behavior and coping. Lastly, I am passionate about working with and training other clinicians and professionals on self-care, burnout, trauma-informed care, and resiliency.

The alchemy of healing implies change from one form to another. The change can be in your thought process, a change in awareness, change in relationships; all changes for the better, changes which help the soul retain its youth. Healing and change can only come from within, but is a process nonetheless. That is what counseling provides, a safe environment in which healing and change can occur.

I work with children, adolescents, and families to provide effective techniques for parents and their anxious, challenging, moody children. Studies show that there are certain practices that work to facilitate improvement with children and families. I use these evidence-based treatments, meaning my work is informed by what the science says. Between sessions I ask clients to notice patterns or practice new skills in order to help them accomplish their goals in a timely manner. Throughout treatment, the client and I evaluate the effectiveness of therapy and their satisfaction with treatment to help clients get the results they want.

My areas of specialty include behavior therapy and CBT in the treatment of ADHD, acting out behaviors in children, and anxiety disorders across the lifespan. My website is www.Parentingmadepleasant.com

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing psychotherapy since 2008. I am also registered with Yoga Alliance as a Yoga Therapist and integrate mindfulness and body-centered psychotherapy into my practice. My warmth and experience help set people at ease. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating and/or have a family member in treatment. I have worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings and believe in the human capacity to heal and grow from difficult life events. I have a private practice in Boulder and am part of a group private practice in Denver.
