The foundation of my therapy practice is based on the premise that humans are inherently whole and want to move toward connection, health, and wellbeing. We can get there by understanding and moving through difficult emotions, as well as processing past traumas. Equally important, and critical to the process, is finding a sense of joy, comfort, calm, and safety.

I use a mix of mindfulness, nature-based, movement, and somatic practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help you feel more resourced, regulated, and ready to face challenging feelings, memories, and transitions.

I also specialize in supporting clients with the sometimes-debilitating symptoms of ADHD and chronic pain.

Many of my clients identify as perfectionists, people pleasers, and empaths. They struggle with guilt and shame, setting boundaries, and making time for themselves. They are also often going through major life changes, including loss, and are working through grief, anxiety, and depression. Having personally experienced many of these challenges, I bring a unique blend of empathy, compassion, and evidence-based treatment to my practice.

I offer clients ways to experiment with and study what is and is not working in their lives, helping to guide them toward attunement and behavior change. The therapeutic relationship itself — being in close and conscious relationship with another — is healing, creating space for exploring new ways of interacting and being.

I came to counseling and coaching as a profession later in life. I’ve always been interested in what motivates and prompts us to do the things we do, consciously or unconsciously. This first led to a career in journalism, listening to and reflecting back people’s words, feelings, and stories. And I’ve always been interested in ecology — what environmental systems, communities, and families need to thrive. So I earned a master’s degree in environmental management and held jobs reporting on environmental science and policy, and their impact on people and the planet.

While I was a journalist and editor in Washington, DC, I did my first yoga teacher training and started leading group yoga classes. This lit me up. I loved supporting people as they discovered embodiment.

Eventually I moved to Colorado, where I became the editor of Yoga Journal — a 50-year-old publication that shares the wisdom of this ancient practice. While at Yoga Journal, I started studying yoga therapy, which eventually led me back to school to better understand clinical psychology practices. In 2022 I finished a master’s degree in mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling at Naropa University — a Buddhist institution in Boulder.

Reach out if you’re ready to feel embodied, build confidence, face fears, and find alignment — emotionally, physically, and energetically. I would be honored to support you.
