I’m a bit eclectic in nature, pulling ideas from various counseling modalities that will guide us in identifying your thoughts, feeling your feelings, and shifting your behaviors in ways that feel doable for you to help you meet your goals. (If you’re interested in the specifics, I utilize emotionally focused therapy, person centered therapy, and the Gottman method with some cognitive behavioral therapy and somatic experiencing thrown in the mix.)

First, we discuss the problems bringing you in and what you’d like to gain from therapy. We’ll talk about your current life circumstances, your relationships, and how you spend your time.

Through you sharing your story, we begin to identify your specific goals and the barriers that are getting in the way of you reaching them.

Next, we focus on healing previous experiences and patterns. We also work together to find tangible tools that actually work for you.

You then go out into the real world and practice these tools, reporting back to me what works and what doesn’t so we can continue to modify things in a way that best fits for you.

My story starts with growing up in the Midwest (which really just translates to “steak and potatoes is my favorite meal.”) Although it will always be home, my partner and I traded the plains for the mountains as soon as we could. I’ve adopted the Colorado ways of brewing my own kombucha and hiking at every possible opportunity (so if you have any suggestions of trails with lake views, let me know!) When I’m not with clients you can find me napping, gardening, playing volleyball, falling over in yoga, and taking way too many pictures of my cat, Molly.

Once we complete a free phone consultation and decide that we are a good fit to work together, we will schedule a time and a date for our first session that is convenient for you. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for your comfort. I can't wait to meet you!
