My Approach to Helping

This is the soul of my work: to help you explore your issues; confront your fears; heal your wounded places; and find the courage to live and speak your truth.

Working with me gives you the opportunity to see your problems, both personal and relational, in a new light. I have worked effectively with clients to: improve their relationships; invigorate their sex life; deepen their intimacy; prepare a solid foundation for a healthy marriage; move through a major life transition; recover from a divorce; define and achieve career goals; manage depression and anxiety, recover from addictions; and courageously face end of life issues. I can help you go from where you are to where you want to be.

I believe that people can change at a very core level. I also trust the innate wisdom of the psyche to move towards wholeness and healing. I have experience with both western psychological models and eastern mindfulness practices, and I use both traditional and experiential approaches, such as Hakomi, EMDR, and Brainspotting, to get us to your goals. I play an active role as your therapist and can help you transform your life.

My specialties include: relationship and intimacy issues; premarital counseling; sex therapy; life and career transitions; working through grief and loss; midlife and aging issues; recovery from past trauma and abuse; unblocking creativity; and the spiritual work of finding life's meaning.

I have been counseling individuals and couples in Boulder since 1984. If what you are doing isn't working, it is time to do something different. Invest in yourself. Begin the conversation that changes you. I offer an initial 30 minute consultation at no charge. For further information about me and how I work, please visit my website.

More Info About My Practice

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with a Master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. The heart of my practice is helping couples and individuals create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Since 1984, I have been using Hakomi Therapy's body-centered approach to work with the deeper parts of the personality. I also incorporate both EMDR and BRAINSPOTTING techniques when working with trauma, abuse, and other emotional issues. I have been a volunteer bereavement counselor for Hospice since 1982 and have vast experience working with many forms of grief and loss. I trained with Don Riso and Russ Hudson of the Enneagram Institute in New York and am a certified teacher in their tradition. I taught the Dynamics of Intimate Relationships for Naropa University for nine years.

I facilitate two groups:
THRESHOLD: A PERSONAL GROWTH AND ART-MAKING EXPERIENCE FOR WOMEN.
This eight week group is designed to be both an exploration of our inner process and an outer art-making experience which will result in a personally handcrafted, illustrated book. Each week there will be a hands-on demo of various mixed media techniques. Join with other women on an adventurous, enriching, creative journey. No previous experience is necessary and if you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, this group's for you.

COMING ALIVE! DIVORCE GROUP FOR WOMEN. This eight week support group for women who are either considering a separation or divorce, or are currently in a divorce or post-divorce process. By joining with other women, in a shared experience of grief and loss, we will find our way together through the confusion and chaos of this emotional storm to firm ground. We will use specific exercises, guided visualization, and the sharing of our stories and insights, to move through the anger, shame and fear, to reach a place of insight and acceptance from which we can begin to forge a new and prospering life.
