Hello & Welcome

I fully believe that the key to your success is a trusting relationship with your therapist. I'm so glad you're here to explore if we would be a good fit. Allow me to introduce myself....

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Northern Colorado with over 25 years in this field. Helping people find their way to healing has always been a "calling" for me. I believe much of our life satisfaction is based in our relationships, both with ourselves and with others. I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges they face in their relationships, including the relationship with themselves due to anxiety, depression, trauma, or perfectionism. I look through a systemic lens with all clients, believing we don't live in a bubble but our individual challenges influence and are influenced by the system around us.

I have a relaxed and collaborative therapeutic style. I focus on evidenced-based interventions with a solution-focused approach that utilizes a client's strengths to find solutions to their unique challenges. I have a background in additions work that guides my understanding of how maladaptive coping skills can develop. I work together with my clients as a guide to help you heal your wounds, regain hope, feel empowered to achieve your goals and find the path to success.

Personally, I am a mother of two boys, wife, daughter, friend, and overall quirky human. I have a passion for real estate that I built into a side business. I love connecting with my family and friends on outdoor adventures, traveling, and playing board games. I think the beauty of music, movies, and the arts makes life better.

My methods

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps people change unhelpful thought and behavior patters that affect your mood, coping, and daily functioning.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR helps people reprocess traumatic experiences so they are less overwhelming and aides in shifting thought patters and emotional regulation, allowing the person to find clarity and peace.

Gottman Method

This is a research-based couples therapy that helps partners improve communication, build trust, and improve emotional connection for a stronger relationship. .

Systemic Approach

The idea that we do not function in isolation, but are deeply influenced by our system of interconnected relationships. Looking at patterns in our work, friendship, family, and internal relationships allows for more sustainable change for you in your social systems.
