The first time I sought therapy, my heart was broken. Not just from a relationship ending, but from a dawning realization that parts of me felt unworthy of love. Looking back now, such painful forays into therapy are also, in a way, exciting. They are a wake up call to evolve, to shed an old skin, and to transform into a more alive and pure us. To let go of worn out, imprisoning, and burdensome stories, beliefs, and defenses. The catalyst - the challenging event or circumstances that brought you to these words - is probably a doorway, and could be the beginning of a grand adventure…

I also work with relationship/phase-of-life transitions, such as young adulthood, becoming parents, parenting adolescents, forming step families, etc.
I specialize in relationships, life transitions and grief/loss, with additional in-depth trainings to work effectively with couples and families. I work frequently with personal, cultural, multigenerational and systemic traumas that present as depression/anxiety, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, relational conflicts, parenting challenges, career difficulties and more. Prior to psychotherapy, I worked in law and finance with top law firms and investment banks for two decades, and I deeply appreciate the stressful and complex work/life dynamics facing many families, sometimes seemingly as a result of their very own success.

I enjoy working with adults and families who desire change, but aren't sure how to make it happen. For some, it means a change in relationship dynamics or parenting style. For others, it means collaborating on complicated life issues, such as difficult teenagers, substance abuse, or co-parenting. If you are looking to leave a long marriage, I can help you navigate that process. I also enjoy working with individuals in their 20's and 30's trying to figure out this thing called adulting. I split my time between Steamboat Springs,CO and northern California, and am licensed to see clients in California, Colorado and Utah.
