Therapeutic Approach
Intuitive, strengths based, compassionate, non-judgmental therapy
My approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based modalities to support insight, emotional awareness, and meaningful change.
Navigating the complexities of life, relationships, parenting and sexuality
I’m passionate about helping people build healthy and empowering relationships- with themselves and others. My work is rooted in deep interests including human sexuality, LGBTQIA+ identities, healthy relationship dynamics, mindfulness, neuropsychology, and personal growth. I also have experience supporting individuals with a religious background as they process what parts of that feel authentic to their own spirituality, and those parts that were indoctrinated by their family of origin.
​
In addition to my 15+ years experience as a psychotherapist, I spent almost a decade as a secondary math and special education teacher/ department chair in alternative high schools. I also served as an educational coordinator (director) of a residential school for children in state custody. These roles taught me how vital empathy, resilience, and stability are in someone's mental health and well-being.
​
As a parent of four children in different stages of life, I also understand the real-life challenges and joys of helping them become confident, self-reliant adults. Supporting parents is close to my heart. We all want to raise kids who feel secure and supported, and I’m here to help you find your own way through the ups and downs of parenting.
Therapy Style
Down-to-Earth, Honest, and Non-Judgmental
My style is down to earth, honest, and non-judgmental, keeping it real to promote growth in you and your relationships. While I’m highly empathic and caring, I’m also not an echo chamber that just tells you what you want to hear.
I gently encourage my clients to identify the ways that they may be getting in the way of achieving their goals and dreams. Becoming more authentic leads to a more fulfilling life.
Experience as a Relationship and Sex Therapist
I have expertise in the integration of sex and relationship therapy, and specialize in working with adults who are in alternative relationship structures such as ethical non-monogamy or power exchange. Navigating life transitions, creating safety in communication, learning healthy conflict resolution, improving emotional regulation skills, or understanding your sexual or gender identity are some issues that I can help you develop insight and tools for lasting change.
‘Inclusive Sex and Relationship Therapy’
Inclusive Sex and Relationship Therapy in Colorado
My relationship clients commit to the hard work of being honest with themselves and their partners. They learn practical strategies to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create deeper intimacy.
Balancing each individual’s needs alongside the needs of the relationship is foundational. This balance invites teamwork and mutual respect into their shared lives. Integrating sex and relationship therapy offers a holistic approach to healing connection. I strive to create a safe space where all voices are heard and respected throughout the journey.
