Seeking support can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been carrying anxiety, emotional pain, trauma, relationship struggles, or feelings of overwhelm for a long time. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and move toward greater peace, confidence, and emotional balance.

For more than 30 years, I have worked with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and unresolved emotional wounds from the past. My approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and strength-based. I believe each person already has inner strengths and resilience that can be supported and strengthened through the therapy process.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I specialize in EMDR, Brainspotting, and DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy). These therapies can help clients process trauma, reduce emotional distress, shift long-standing patterns, and work toward deeper healing and lasting change.

I strive to create an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and emotionally safe. Together, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you while focusing on your goals, growth, and healing.

This is an exciting time to seek therapy as many more therapeutic options are extremely effective in helping people lead happier and fuller lives.

During our first session, I encourage you to ask any questions that you have as it's an opportunity for us to get to know each other to see if you will be comfortable in this therapeutic relationship.

I will ask you about your goals that you want to achieve in working together and will also gather information from you, to support you in the best way possible.

I offer online therapy sessions for adults throughout Colorado and welcome the opportunity to see if we may be a good fit to work together.
