You will find me to be an authentic and direct therapist that will focus on your values and strengths to guide the therapy process. My philosophy is that therapy is the space to get into how and why what you’re trying to do differently isn’t working (because you probably already have enough people willing to tell you), and what you should be doing with your life.

I won’t promise that therapy will make the hard stuff in your life go away, but what I know it can do is help you find a way through the hard stuff with meaning and help build resilience.
My specialties include depression, anxiety, family of origin issues, interpersonal distress and eating disorders (including binge eating, Bulimia, ARFID, Anorexia and disordered eating as a result of trauma or chronic illness). I also have experience with borderline personality disorder, complex trauma and navigating how to be the support person for a loved one going through mental health issues.

In my 10+ years as a therapist I have supported individuals and families as they move through some of the hardest moments in their lives and into a fulfilling, meaningful journey forward and look forward to helping you do the same. I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as the foundation to conceptualize the concerns you’re seeking help with. Once we both have a clear picture of the issues, we will get creative within a wide range of therapy modalities to find interventions that fit your life & temperament.

In addition to seeing clients, I also provide supervision to psychology students and post graduate clinicians working on their hours for licensure.

A little more about me:

I was raised in the part of California where John Wayne movies & Star Trek episodes were filmed, so moving to Colorado felt like coming home after college in Southern California. I am nerd through and through.

If I have blocked out availability it is likely because I’m making an appearance at a Star Wars event with the 501st or getting in my own self-care with a D&D night. If you are having a virtual session you may get to meet my senior pup Cody, he is such a mutt that when people ask what kind of dog he is the only answer I have is “a good one.”
