I strive to serve the community around me and advocate for those who are in need. I focus on psychotherapeutic models to aid individuals in understanding the role their brain plays in treatment. Educating individuals about brain structure, function, development, and explaining how neurobiology can be applied to individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and other disorders. Interpersonal neurobiology of human development aids us to understand that structure & function of the mind & brain are shaped by our experiences especially involving emotional relationships.

Hello and thanks for choosing to learn a little bit more about me and how I can help you on your counseling journey. I am originally from the UK where I trained at The Gestalt Center of Counseling and psychotherapy! What is "Gestalt therapy"- a form of psychotherapy in which self-awareness and self-acceptance are considered keys to personal growth. I believe that therapy should be person centered and am excited to partner with you towards achieving your goals.

Having worked with adult clients from a variety of backgrounds, I aim to incorporate a culturally sensitive lens throughout my practice.

Do you wonder what your inner voice would say if given the chance for authentic expression? There are myriad reasons that contribute to the quieting of our whole selves—individual, family, and intergenerational trauma, oppression, genetics, and sometimes just the inherent challenges of living in our world. Whatever your story is, you possess the inherent wisdom that’s key to your growth and healing. I work with LGBTQIA+ folks exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, individuals in non-traditional relationships, and those seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and codependency.

Finding yourself in destructive patterns and using unhelpful behaviors to cope can make you feel isolated and alone. Knowing you are different from others and wondering how to navigate everyday situations is exhausting and debilitating. Being neurodivergent in a world built for neurotypical people can lead to depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and substance use just to name a few. With the weight of everything all at once you can feel trapped and hopeless. No matter what you are struggling with, you deserve to be fiercely advocated for and supported in a way that honors your unique humanness.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou. I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Denver. I assist clients in developing insight and self-awareness so they may make more informed choices rather than perpetuating old patterns and habits. My work tends to focus on healing from the past, increasing coping skills and building on existing strengths to move in a new direction and create change. I bring 26 years of experience, knowledge, skills, humor, and empathy to my work with clients.

We all have unique experiences that shape our perspectives. I believe that through self-awareness and vulnerability, we can all grow to become more resilient and confident individuals.

I’ll help you build a toolbox of coping strategies to find what works best for you. I have a client-centered, collaborative style that draws techniques from a variety of therapy modalities including (but not limited to): CBT, Psychodynamic, DBT, Solution-focused, Strength-based, and Play Therapy.

"Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we'll ever do." ~Brene Brown~ Have you found life hasn't turned out the way you expected? Sometimes that can be a wonderful thing, and other times that reality can be frustrating to accept or work through. I believe those frustrations, when left unaddressed, can and often do lead to feelings of depression and/or anxiety, and can also put a strain on relationships. I believe therapy should be a safe space to give voice to those frustrations and an opportunity for healing.

I take a holistic and contextual approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My areas of focus include sexuality, sex, identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life-transitions.

We often find ourselves stuck in place, not quite sure how we got there or what we need to do next. Our sense of self suffers, our relationships aren't where we want them to be, we don't feel successful. We long for someone to lead us in the right direction, to sit next to us and hold our hand, and to give us the tools we need to move past the hurt and pain. This is where I come in, your personal confidant and guide through life’s sticky patches. Let’s work together to help you become the person, partner, friend, child or parent you’ve always wanted to be.

A lot of parents want their children to listen, respect, and connect and communicate with them. We also work with individual adults, families and couples.
