​

I am a Licensed and Board Certified Counselor and Coach. For over 14 years I have helped my clients heal and transform their inner pain, overcome self-limiting beliefs, achieve their goals, and enhance their overall well-being.

 

I take my job as your support person very seriously. I am committed to establishing rapport and a relationship founded in trust and safety. I listen. I validate. I believe in you. I encourage you. You are unique and special and there is no one else like YOU in the world. I'd be honored to accompany you as you dive deep and emerge as the you who has been in there all along.

 

I love to learn and add new tools to my ‘toolbox’ so that I can best meet the need(s) and goal(s) of each individual client, as well as teach and pass my tools along. :) To this end, I have extensive training and have been trained in a myriad of therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Emotional Freedom Technique (aka tapping), Meditation, Mindfulness, Integrative Nutrition for Mental Health, Somatics, Parts Work, Polyvagal Theory, Breath Coaching, CBT, DBT, and others, as well as Yoga, Reiki, and Tibetan Sound Healing. ​​​

​

MY APPROACH 

My approach to transformational work is integrative and holistic. I support the entirety of a person - mind, body, heart, and soul - through evidence-based, trauma-informed, practical, transformative, and spiritual approaches. My goal is to support you as you overcome what's holding you back, and to equip you with greater self understanding, tools, and resources to believe in yourself and reach your full potential. 

 

I am known for my genuine, compassionate, unique, and uplifting approach.

MORE ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Boulder County, Colorado. I played competitive tennis starting from a young age and was a collegiate athlete while earning a B.A. in International Business. I then went on to earn both a Masters in Education and a Masters in Counseling. Throughout my years as a counselor and coach I have been honored to work with individuals ages 3-96, and I have helped hundreds of individuals become free of anxiety and self-limitation. 

Outside of work, I am so grateful to get to enjoy life with my husband, son, daughter, and dog. Music, sports, play time, and adventures are constants! I am also known to love fun earrings, gemstones, sunny days, animal print, books, manatees, and paper goods. :)

  

I'd love to connect with you. You can get in touch with me by scheduling a time to talk here. I look forward to hearing from you!
