Hi there! I work with children ages 0-10 and adults ages 20-60. I also work with couples around communication skills. I enjoy the variety of seeing clients online, in-person, and outdoors.

With children, I do a 45-minute Synergetic Play Therapy session in my office or outside. Then, later in the week, I have a 15-minute phone call with their parents and caretakers to suggest ways to integrate the child’s therapy at home. This is essentially family therapy but seeing members separately. Children are more resilient than adults, so sessions usually progress faster and have results that can be seen, not just felt.

Many people are surprised that I work with children AND adults. I like this variety in ages because I love seeing the spectrum of how people evolve. Different developmental stages bring different challenges and gifts, and all of it interests me! My work with children compliments my work with adults, as we all feel small and young at times. I meet both populations with tenderness, humor, and directness.

Specialty Treatment Areas:

-Depression (including an overall vague feeling of something missing in life)

-Anxiety (including chronic anxiety and anxiety from specific events)

-Trauma (all kinds and feelings of overwhelm)

-Challenging Transitions (including relationships, jobs, and grieving losses)

-Women’s Issues (including motherhood, fertility issues, systemic sexism)

-Gender Identity Issues (supporting trans, nonbinary, and gender diversity)

-Parenting Difficulties (I get it! I have 2 kiddos!)

How I work:

It is my sole’s work to be a creative therapist! While talking is essential in therapy, I can offer more. With my multiple approaches, I help clients access their personal, deeper wisdom. I can use nature, art, play, body awareness, humor, and mindfulness to support adult and child clients. My goal is for my clients to leave my office feeling their center and how they belong in this world.

Together we can work on:

*Finding the gifts within your struggles

*Learning how to keep calm in anxiety producing environments

*Exploring how your past influences your present

*Creating healthy choices and habits to excel your therapy

*Identifying relationship patterns

*Revitalizing YOU

My Background:

I graduated in 2010 with a master’s degree from Naropa University in Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Wilderness Therapy. Since then, I have completed trainings in Hokomi, Gestalt, Grief work, Trauma, Body Focused Healing, Non-Violent Communication, Somatic Practices, Heart-Centered Meditation, Synergetic Play Therapy, EMDR, and Mother-Daughter Relationships. I have worked in therapeutic supporting roles for a variety of employers including Naropa University, Women’s Wilderness Institute, Judy’s House (in Denver), Outward Bound, and Preschools.

Central to my psychotherapy practice is my passion for serving children, teens, families, and women. While my services include traditional methods such as Cognitive Behavioral techniques and psychoanalysis, I believe the most effective modality for change is often through interacting with animals and nature.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy: Horses offer unconditional support in working through relationship patterns and emotional difficulties. You, your child, or your family, will be guided to improve coping mechanisms, develop healthy attachments, and to live an empowered life.

Animal assisted therapy: Working with either my animals or your own family pets has proven to be instrumental in helping those who suffer from depression or anxiety or who have experienced a loss due to divorce, illness, or trauma.

Teen therapy and Mentoring: Throughout my 15 year career working with teens, I have received training in treating sexual trauma, adoption and attachment, as well as effectively serving persons on the Autism spectrum. I discovered that the best way to create permanent change for your child is with out-of-the-box, or more specifically, out-of-the-office methods. Because adolescents often have difficulty in a traditional office setting, they feel more open to therapy when in their community environment. I am available to pick your child up from school, to meet in a park, or in your home. Some examples of mentoring activities are hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, or simply going for coffee. Whether I am helping them job hunt or accompanying them to a meeting with their school counselor, I will be working intensively to help your teen resolve their difficulties. Finally, I believe that parent education and involvement are integral components for an effective treatment plan.
