I create an environment of meeting the client where they are at. I create an atmosphere of honesty and empathy, as well as non-judgement. I believe it's extremely important to create an environment and of healthy boundaries and emotional safety.

Sometimes life gets overwhelming and exhausting. This can look like anxiety, racing thoughts, or difficulty following through with tasks. I use a natural processing approach to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help you get through these stuck places. This can be effective if your symptoms are due to past stressors or if they do not feel linked to anything at all. I can be a little geeky about this stuff, and I am happy to share the how and why of what I am doing. I am able to provide several different modes of therapy, including traditional weekly, extended 90-minute sessions, or expedited (4-6 hour sessions). I enjoy working with burnout and vicarious trauma within helping professionals like healthcare workers, fellow therapists, and veterinarians.

I aim to understand and to treat the whole person. I don't like to boil a client down to a diagnosis. Helping with symptom management by teaching skills and techniques is a priority, but I don't like to stop there. It is my goal to help clients discover why the symptoms exist in the first place and to achieve deeper levels of change through therapy.

Our mission is to help anxious people reduce or eliminate their anxiety, and to do so as quickly as possible. We are a team of Denver psychologists specializing in treating people of all ages with Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and related problems. Do you feel anxious all the time and don't know what to do about it? Have you tried therapy or other strategies before with no success? Are you starting to feel hopeless that anything will ever work? Don't lose hope... We can help you minimize your anxiety so you can live a normal, fulfilling life where YOU have control, not your anxiety. We use a straightforward, practical, proven approach. The method we most typically use is Exposure Therapy, which has been shown through extensive research to be the most effective therapy for any type of anxiety, including OCD. Most people who undergo Exposure Therapy for their OCD or anxiety respond very well to treatment and can go on to live healthy, happy lives.

Have you ever felt like you are doing everything “right” on the outside, but something still feels off on the inside? Maybe anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, past experiences, or major life changes have left you feeling disconnected from yourself. You may be someone who thinks deeply, feels deeply, and is ready to understand your story in a new way. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we slow down, get curious, and explore the experiences that have shaped you. My approach blends narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, somatic practices, and EMDR-informed work to help you better understand yourself, heal from painful experiences, and create meaningful change. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist, which shaped the way I listen: with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that every person’s story deserves to be understood. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, religious trauma, and the process of reconnecting with who they truly are. Therapy is not about becoming someone new. It is about uncovering the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, unheard, or overwhelmed. Together, we can explore your experiences, rewrite unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Shame, feeling different, experiencing depression or anxiety, and facing relationship issues or conflicts with oneself andor the world are some of the issues I commonly provide help with. I believe that deep psychological and emotional change is achievable through Jungian-informed depth psychotherapy and dreamwork (which is always optional). The work I offer focuses on depth work to reduce the influence of the unconscious, which can look like addressing triggers, somatic symptoms, default patterns, reactions, rigid attitudes, depression, anxiety, mood swings, or a crisis of meaning... the list can go on. This type of therapy helps expand consciousness and create meaningful change. I hope to offer you welcoming, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive care. I have training and certifications in trauma, complex trauma, and shame.

I believe in helping you develop practical skills to use in real life, so you feel more confidence and ease in day-to-day interactions. Insight is valuable, but there's more to therapy than understanding your past and yourself. In developing skills like self-compassion, you can learn to be kinder to yourself when things don't go perfectly, which can reduce anxiety. In learning how to self-regulate, you can be more authentic and assertive in your communication with others, which can lead to less people-pleasing, healthier boundaries, or greater fulfillment in relationships. These are just a few of the skills that I help clients develop in therapy, in both individual and couple work.

If you've left an abusive or narcissistic relationship, you may have survived it by learning to support everyone but yourself. You learned to anticipate others’ emotions to keep the peace and to say yes all the time, but these things come at a cost. The self-doubt runs deep and you still replay conversations wondering if you’re the problem. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping people heal from toxic relationships. The people-pleasing that once kept you safe, and the self-doubt it left behind aren't permanent. You can take back the power you lost in that relationship! You're human. And you're more powerful than the story you've been telling yourself. Therapy isn't just about learning to cope better. It's about reclaiming YOUR power. Power that got buried under everyone else's needs, bad relationships, and the constant pressure to hold it all together.

Has someone in your life told you that drinking or drugs are a problem for you? They're wrong! Your use is not the problem, it's a solution!
