Many experiences, especially traumatic or overwhelming ones, are stored beyond words, living in the body and nervous system. This work focuses on gently helping you access, process, and integrate those experiences in a way that supports regulation and safety.

I draw from somatic psychotherapy, parts-work, and trauma-informed approaches to help you track sensations, emotions, and internal dynamics as they arise. Rather than forcing insight, we listen carefully to what your system is ready to reveal.

This approach can be especially supportive for those navigating trauma, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that feel difficult to shift through talk therapy alone.

I am a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado and am trained in Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). I approach addiction through a compassionate, non-shaming lens that recognizes substance use as a complex relationship with pain, relief, and survival.

I have a particular passion for working with individuals involved in 12-step programs and for thoughtfully integrating 12-step work into psychotherapy. I also frequently work with families impacted by addiction, helping them navigate patterns of care, boundaries, and repair.

Whether you are actively using, in recovery, or somewhere in between, the work centers on awareness, choice, and sustainable change.

Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that helps access and process deeply held emotional and physical stress through focused eye positions connected to unresolved experiences. It allows us to work directly with the brain and nervous system, often reaching material that may be difficult to access verbally.

I often pair Brainspotting with bilateral stimulation, which can enhance processing and support regulation. I have completed Brainspotting Levels 1 and 2 and am additionally trained in Expansion Brainspotting, the Flash Technique, Blind/Back Spotting, and using Brainspotting within the sand tray.

This modality can be particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and psychosomatic symptoms.

Buddhist Psychology focuses on understanding the moment-to-moment processes that generate suffering—such as grasping, aversion, and misperception—and cultivating awareness, compassion, and insight.

My background includes formal training in Contemplative Psychotherapy at Naropa University, as well as extensive experience as a meditation instructor, a role I held for many years supporting Naropa students. This orientation informs how I help clients observe internal experience without judgment or avoidance.

The work emphasizes presence, curiosity, and developing the capacity to relate differently to thoughts, emotions, and impermanence.

DBT is an evidence-based approach that supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. I have many years of experience facilitating DBT groups through my work at AIM House in Boulder, CO.

I also trained with Ryan Kennedy at Noeticus Training in Denver, CO. While I don’t practice DBT in a rigid or manualized way, its principles often inform the work—especially for clients seeking practical tools alongside deeper emotional processing.

From a systems perspective, family work focuses on the patterns of interaction that shape behavior—how alliances, unspoken rules, and habitual communication loops maintain both conflict and connection. The therapy looks beyond individual symptoms to understand how each family member’s actions influence the functioning of the whole. I see family therapy as an opportunity to help an integrated system of people work through difficulties and move forward in a more connected and open way. I like to bring a balance of support and challenge to help members show up more fully and authentically in their lives and with each other. 

I am greatly influenced by the Foundations in Somatic Abolitionism course and practice groups with Resmaa Menakem and Carlin Quinn, which takes both a parts-work and somatic focus approach to exploring anti-racist culture building.

Parts-work helps clients identify and build relationships with different internal “parts”—such as protectors, managers, critics, or younger wounded parts—that each carry their own emotions, beliefs, and survival strategies.

Rather than seeing these parts as problems, we approach them with curiosity and respect, working toward greater internal cohesion and self-understanding. This work can support healing shame, self-criticism, and long-standing internal conflicts.

Parts-work is often integrated naturally alongside somatic and trauma-focused approaches.

I am trained through Innate Path as a psychedelic therapist and primarily work within a psycholytic model—using lower doses to support psychotherapy and integration. I also offer one-on-one integration support for clients who have worked with psychedelic medicines either with me or with other practitioners.

Integration focuses on helping you make meaning of experiences, stabilize insights, and bring what was revealed into daily life. At times, I also facilitate Integration Circles, offering shared reflection and support.

Sand tray therapy offers a creative, nonverbal way to explore our inner world. This process can help uncover emotions, patterns, and insights that might be hard to express with words, supporting deeper reflection and healing.  Some ways clients use the sand tray are to manifest images related to past and current experiences including traumatic experiences, explore dreams, desires, family dynamics and to use as a grounding tool or to play!

I am an AASECT-certified sex therapist and specialize in working with individuals who have experienced sexual violence and are seeking to reclaim their relationships with their bodies, intimacy, and pleasure.

I frequently work with trans and non-binary individuals, people across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and those who are questioning or exploring identity. My practice is sex-positive, sex worker–friendly, and kink-allied.

The work centers on consent, agency, safety, and reconnecting with embodied choice.

Somatic psychotherapy is a body-based therapeutic approach that helps clients track subtle physiological cues—such as muscle tension, breath patterns, or autonomic shifts—to uncover how unresolved experiences are stored in the nervous system. Instead of focusing solely on narrative insight, we work directly with these physical responses to support regulation, trauma resolution, and embodied emotional awareness.
