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.

As a compassionate child therapist, I am deeply committed to guiding young individuals through their unique journeys of growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Understanding the intricate phases of childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, I recognize the blend of exhilaration and challenges these pivotal years bring. This period is marked by significant self-discovery, identity shaping, and emotional development, where encountering obstacles is a natural part of the process. My mission is to serve as a steadfast partner to both parents/guardians and their children.
