Psychotherapist: CA LPCC (14058); CO LPC (15301)

I am a therapist who embraces our innate humanness as a pathway for connection and healing. Being human can be filled with a wide range of emotions and experiences. And to complicate matters, feelings such as joy and sadness, and pleasure and pain, can all exist side by side. 

My approach is based in mindfulness, and getting present is key. Through the course of therapy, you’ll learn psychological skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings effectively, so that they have much less impact and influence. We’ll use mindful inquiry to uncover what’s truly important and meaningful to you. This clarity will empower you to take conscious action toward what matters to you most.

I have over a decade of experience working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or big life transitions. I received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado, Denver, and I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in both Colorado and California. I have trained extensively in yoga, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and rapid resolution therapy for trauma.

Throughout my career, I have acted as a volunteer yoga instructor, offering trauma informed yoga classes for formerly homeless single parents, victims of domestic violence, and fire survivors. I have also led workshops and groups on the Psychology of Yoga and Yoga for Emotional Health. Additionally, I have served on the board of directors for the Redwood Empire California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (RECAMFT). 

I believe a state of balanced awareness exists within everyone. With the right tools, it is possible to find this place and create deeper states of well-being. My methodology is about helping you access, transform, and heal your emotions, as well as your mind and body. No prior knowledge or experience with mindfulness is necessary. I will be your fellow traveler and guide as you adventure inward.

When not in the office, you can find me hiking, biking, camping, or exploring the mountains with my toddler and husband.
