Hello! I am so happy that you are here. I am passionate about the power of counseling to open us up to life in new ways, and would be honored to have the opportunity to work with you.
First, a bit about me, as a therapist:
My approach is built on a core belief that you are a self-healing being. Unfortunately, you and I both often find ourselves without the space and support that we need to fully process our experiences, to heal and to grow, and we get a little stuck. As a therapist, I help you create more space in your life, build skills, and find support, allowing you to get unstuck and to “unfold” toward your inherent wholeness and health as a human being.

… And a bit about me, as a person:
I am a Colorado born-and-bred ‘mountain girl’ from Durango, and feel fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful place. I love the outdoors, and often bring aspects of its healing power into my work with clients. Creative and visual arts have had a strong influence on me as well. I am passionate about the capacity for healing that therapy can offer and feel much gratitude to be able to do this work. I hope to make contact with you soon!
