I have a huge passion for self-discovery and growth, and love nothing more than helping others evolve in their own unique ways. As a therapist of over 20 years, I’m constantly awe-struck by the pure magic that can unfold when people jump into these beautiful life explorations. 

Love and deep connection are my lifelines. I bring them into each session I lead, and into every relationship I have. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in numerous therapeutic job settings, as well as sexual health education - consciously  blending the best of both Eastern and Western theories into my practice. 

My experience includes working with both young adults and adults in multiple facets of life, including: relationships, self-esteem, sexuality, life transitions, attachment styles, parenting, anxiety and depression, preparing for motherhood, grief and loss, and trauma work. 

I’ve had the awesome opportunity to work with people in a wide variety of settings, including: Colorado Outward Bound School and Women’s Wilderness Institute, Planned Parenthood, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital, Colorado University’s Psychological and Psychiatry Department. I eventually landed into my own private therapeutic practice in 2006. 

In 2017, I eagerly expanded my practice to include parent coaching and group facilitation through The Mother Daughter Journey (MDJ.) I’m excited to share this new part of my life purpose with you! 

I live in Boulder, Colorado with my husband and two daughters.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I primarily use the IFS therapeutic approach with my clients and in all my years of practice, I have found this modality to create inner growth and integration in the most effective, kind and non-pathologizing way.

IFS is a type of therapy that believes we all have different parts or sub-personalities within us that require attention and compassion. These parts live within us and have both healthy and unhealthy roles. Through IFS, one learns how to access these parts, understand them, work with them, and achieve balance within the internal system to experience self-compassion, self-awareness, and overall health.
