Welcome
Welcome — I'm Glad You're Here
I believe healing is a deeply human, relational process. We don’t transform in isolation — we grow when someone sits with us, attunes to our truth, and helps us see the strength we already carry.
I became a therapist after years in the business side of social work where I was outwardly successful, but deeply aware that something was missing. Listening to that inner voice brought me back to my calling: supporting people through the hardest parts of being human, and watching them find their way into resilience, love, and renewal.
Today, I specialize in helping couples and individuals navigate communication struggles, people pleasing, betrayal wounds, perfectionism, anxiety, attachment hurts, and the longing to feel seen and valued.
Couples Therapy in Colorado
Couples do not come to therapy because they don’t care. They come because they care and don’t know how to stop hurting each other.
To be blunt, if you are even considering whether you ‘need’ couples counseling, the answer is probably- yes. I have yet to meet a couple, myself included, that would not benefit from couples therapy. From waiting too long and contemplating separation to having a ‘just fine’ relationship that needs a little oomph- relationships benefit when you set aside dedicated time to connect. It does not have to be with me, but I highly encourage you to reach out to different therapists in the area if you are interested about learning how your relationship may benefit.

People often assume that frequent conflict means a relationship is over. I do not necessarily agree. Sometimes conflict means there is still something being fought for.
What concerns me more is when partners stop reaching for each other altogether.
The conversations become practical but rarely personal. You stop sharing the small thoughts, vulnerable feelings, disappointments, and desires that once made you feel known. One person withdraws to avoid another painful conversation. The other stops asking because rejection has become too familiar. Eventually, loneliness begins to feel more predictable than connection.
Couples often come to counseling during the “This is not what I imagined when we met” stage. The point when love is still present, but the relationship has become buried beneath automatic responses, resentment, defensiveness, exhaustion, or years of misunderstanding. This can be a powerful time to begin. The pattern is visible, the pain is honest, and there is often still enough hope to risk doing something different.
Couples counseling can also help when the relationship has become quiet, distant, and lonely. Silence does not automatically mean the relationship cannot be repaired. But repair becomes much harder when counseling is treated as the final box to check after one partner has already emotionally left.
Please do not wait until you are certain the relationship is ending. You only need to recognize that the way you are living is no longer working and are curious whether something more honest, connected, and alive is still possible.

Depression, Burnout & Trauma Therapy in Colorado
Anxiety, lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating may all be signs of trauma responses and are not signs of weakness. They are the nervous system trying to protect you.
-
Constantly replaying conversations or scenarios in your head, difficulty making decisions, or feeling like your mind is running on a perpetual loop.
-
Feeling overwhelmed can often lead to shutdown or avoidance of the stressor. You don’t want to hurt anyone and you are NOT lazy, but for some reason you can’t seem to motivate yourself to get up
-
Whether you are avoiding seeing people because you don’t want to stress them out or worry them. Or you feel to tired and overwhelmed to make it happen. Isolation starts small, but weekend after weekend it becomes a pattern that is hard to shake and separates you from the people you need the most.
-
Ignoring symptoms can be effective for only so long before they pop, and out of nowhere you notice an intense reaction that feels out of your control.
-
Going from a regular conversation or benignly taking part in daily tasks, when something triggers you and you can no longer think straight. Sometimes we describe this as going “offline”, where you are speaking but no longer in control.
-
Feeling empty, or like there is no meaning at all. Some describe it as a state of “grayness” that blankets everything.
-
Going about your day, living and participating but not really being present. Almost like your body is on autopilot.
-
When the noise of the day and the distractions are gone, symptoms are often left unchecked and it is hard to stop them. Sometimes people report not understanding what or how they woke up, but a sensation of dread is weighing them down.
-
Not your I-got-one-bad-night-of-sleep tired, but the feeling of heaviness that is all consuming. The sense of impossibility that barrels over you when you even contemplate starting a task.
If these symptoms are familiar,
You are not alone and you are not broken. These are adaptive responses that you learned overtime to protect yourself, and I would be honored to help you begin to recognize the function of these behaviors, understand your triggers, regulate emotional responses, and build safety internally and in relationships. Hearing that someone slept through the night for the first time, or realized that they were spontaneously laughing again- these are things that bring me immense joy and gratitude for what I get to do everyday at ‘work’.
