Welcome to my psychoanalytic practice for children, adolescents, and adults. Our minds have a huge influence on how we think and feel each day; slowing down and noticing subtle aspects of ourselves with a trained analyst can provide much needed integration of powerful emotions that have not yet had a voice for expression. People can articulate emotions without feeling them, experience emotions in the body, can't find words, and unthinkingly go into action never quite feeling satisfied. Psychoanalytic work can involve the experience of play, and with kids, play will be the work. Integrating feelings and thoughts vitalizes human life.

You’ve been to therapy before, but it keeps feeling more like bandaids than breakthrough. And you’re worried the problem is you. Things start off okay, until the inevitable plateau hits and you keep leaving sessions feeling frustrated and empty. Something’s definitely missing, but you can’t put your finger on what. You just know it hasn’t led to the lasting change you crave. Motivated to do deep work and ready to get at the root, you’ve outgrown the one-size-fits-all approach. Annd it’s also a little scary going to those deeper layers.

Plus, most of us receive little training on healthy, effective communication, negotiation skills, or sex education. This is where I can help. I have 25 years of experience counseling individuals and couples in the areas of sexuality and relationships. I listen, mediate, and assist you in finding a solution that is best for you. I am now providing online-therapy. Please contact me with any questions.

As a queer, neurodivergent (AuDHD), cis, white, working class woman, I understand that we all exist on spectrums of experience, we all go through struggles that are interconnected, and we all have inherent power in our beings.
Whatever it is that you're holding, I'm here to hold it with you. With me, big feelings have a big enough space to be felt, expressed, and held with empathy and validation. We can't get rid of our pain, but we can learn to listen to our bodies and make more compassionate choices. I'm here to listen with you, to help you better understand and meet your needs, and to identify what can be accepted and what can change. I use a trauma-informed and holistic approach to get connected, get curious, and explore with people who want to get deeper insight into their unique support needs and superpowers.

My clients are loving and compassionate people which is why they often say yes when they mean no. They have been shown through childhood experiences or romantic relationships that others wants and needs are more important than their own. They put on a brave face but are terrified that the world will see through this smile. Beneath this smile is a core belief that there is something fundamentally flawed about them. Their inner voice says, “you are unlovable." Paradoxically, what my clients crave the most is also what they are the most terrified of: connection, acceptance, and love. LGBTQIA ally

Outdoor Talk Therapy in Castle Rock! This is not a form of exercise but another way to collaborate with families, couples & individuals, on issues big or small. I believe we try to do the best we can with what we have. We could all use more tools, more support, a deeper understanding of ourselves, & our pasts, to live the life we want. I work with clients to create the change they want to see & in some cases figure out what that even looks like. I blend brain sciences, nature, & one's own somatic wisdom into treatment.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
