“I feel so alone…”

“I don’t want my kids to grow up feeling the way I did.”

“We can’t seem to connect, no matter how hard we try.”

“I feel like a failure….”

 

I Will Sit with You. 

Life is incredibly complicated and challenging. Oftentimes, we can end up feeling lost and alone. My approach focuses on helping you feel and experience difficult emotions, understanding where they come from, and gaining deeper knowledge of the dynamics at play beneath the surface of our relationships that are leading to conflict and pain.

 
 

My Therapeutic Approach

I value deep connection and authenticity in both my personal and therapeutic relationships; there is so much power in the ability to feel deeply with another human being. Helping my clients feel heard and validated is at the forefront of my therapeutic approach, and I employ a variety of interventions, pulling from multiple theories including Psychodynamic, CBT, Narrative, Gestalt, and many more. Creating an open and nonjudgmental space in which to fully explore thoughts and feelings is my focus as a therapist, and helping clients unpack negative self-talk and unconscious narratives that can derail hope, progress and peace is my goal.

To see if we are a good fit, you can email, call/text me, or fill out this form to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

 

More about me:

I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of St. Thomas, where I spent time working with children placed in alternative care, as well as case management for adults. I also have a master’s degree from Capella University in clinical social work. Though I spent many years teaching abroad in Europe, I now live in Denver, where I have learned to love the mountains and all they offer. I enjoy soccer, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and teaching my two children to love the mountains as much as I do.

I am passionate about self-growth and strongly believe in living life to the fullest, which includes consistently putting myself out of my comfort zone. Beginning therapy can be uncomfortable and scary, but it can lead to incredible growth and fresh perspectives.
