Life changes can bring on a wild mix of overwhelm, fear, anxiety, loneliness, disconnection, and uncertainty about what comes next. It can feel like too much.

I provide a warm, attentive, and heart-felt presence to meet these challenges. I integrate different modalities including parts work, mindfulness, body-based, trauma-informed, and contemplative approaches. My process is collaborative, co-creative, and client-centered. Together, we listen to each part of your and weave in the wisdom of your body and mind. We shift from the painful experiences defining your life to new possibilities shaping your heart and spirit.

I specialize in grief, life transitions, and trauma. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages. I offer in-person appointments in Longmont, CO, both in a traditional office setting or a walk-and-talk format. I also provide virtual appointments.

If you’re interested in a free consultation to see if it’s a good fit, please fill out this contact form, and I’ll reach out to get us scheduled.

  • I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents. Sessions are typically 55 minutes. I provide virtual, in office, and walk-and-talk options.

    I typically provide long-term therapy, meaning we work together as long as we need to. If you are interested in meeting for only 6-12 sessions, let me know and we can come up with a plan together.

    I use body-based, parts, mindfulness, and contemplative modalities. My work is collaborative, client-centered, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-informed.

  • You don’t have to. I’ll follow your lead. You get to say “no”, “not yet”, “not that”.  The parts that cue you to slow down or move away from certain experiences have wisdom. We will hear them with no agenda and without pushing past them.

  • Try it. Typically within six sessions you’ll have a sense if the approach is a good fit and if I’m a good fit. You’re not committed to staying. And we get to talk about how its going, what is working and what isn’t. If I’m not the right fit, I am happy to provide you with recommendations and referrals.

  • Unfortunately, the design of the current health care system does not offer an ideal set up for clients nor clinicians. The cost of a session includes more than just the 55 minutes that we meet together. It includes training, consultation, research, administrative tasks, billing, marketing, bookkeeping, accounting, care coordination, vacation time, and sick time. It is a rate that allows me to meet my daily living needs and sustain my wellbeing in order to continue to provide counseling services.

    I strive to fill in the gap the system creates by providing low-cost options, sliding scale options, accepting insurance options, including Medicaid. If cost is a concern, please email or call me to discuss options.
