Psychotherapy
Working with people is my purpose in life. I truly believe in the evolution of humans and I am committed to ongoing self-growth and discovery. I am constantly blown away by the profound insight, strength and resilience of the human experience. I help people learn to trust their inner wisdom by developing a deeper connection within their own bodies and authentic nature.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker residing in Boulder, Colorado with my husband and two daughters. I have worked with adults and adolescents for 20+ years in numerous therapeutic job settings as well as sexual health education. Having completed undergraduate work at Naropa University and graduate education at Denver University, my academic and professional training blends the best in Eastern and Western theory and therapeutic practice.
My widespread path of service has allowed me to work with people in a variety of settings including; wilderness group work (Colorado Outward Bound School and Women’s Wilderness Institute), Planned Parenthood, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital, Colorado University's Psychological and Psychiatry Department and eventually landing in my private practice in 2006.
My interests include self-esteem, sexuality, life transitions, attachment styles, parenting, anxiety and depression, couples work, premarital work, preparing for motherhood, grief and loss (specifically ending relationships) and trauma work (specifically when it manifests in the body). I work with couples of all kinds and life phase, adults and young adults.
Regardless of therapeutic modalities, I have found that the true benefits of therapy depend on the deep connection and level of trust between the client and therapist.
I look forward to connecting with you…
