Adults I work with often find they are experts in taking care of everyone around them but feel uncertain how to take care of themselves. They may be “people pleasers” and know, in great detail, what others may need and how to fix things, but struggle to know what they themselves need, how they feel or how to address their own problems.  They may have had traumatic or adverse experiences that impact the way they react and cope in many situations. This often leads to feelings of anger, resentment, exhaustion and neglect of their own needs, with an increase in anxiety, depression, stress, burnout or grief taking over.

If this sounds familiar to you and you are finding yourself more depleted, unsupported and realizing its time for a change, but you’re not sure where to begin, I can help support you in learning how to build healthy boundaries, implement effective coping skills, heal wounds from trauma and improve your relationships with those in your life, while finding the balance of your own personal well-being.  I enjoy working with clients who are ready to do the work—people who want real change and are willing to take meaningful steps toward it. 

​Therapy offers the opportunity for some much-needed focus on you; a place to be heard, understood and supported. Therapy also offers a place where we have to exercise our emotional muscles, similar to working out at a gym, therapy is not always easy or fun, it does require work and commitment. In the end if we truly invest in that time, we begin to see results, find our strength, and experience real transformation and change.  If you’re ready to take action, commit to change, and engage in the hard work required to improve your life, I’m the right therapist for you!

I provide individual and couple’s grief therapy, via video telehealth sessions in Colorado and Virginia. I also offer a rental system for neurofeedback, which allows clients to engage with this benefit from the comfort of their home. Some clients who are suffering from headaches, sleep disturbances, short term memory loss, and other grief symptoms benefit from neurofeedback and it can be supportive if you’re not feeling ready to verbally process yet.

Counseling for children and adults. Specializing in trauma, anxiety and depression.

You wake up each day and it hits you again. You’ve entered a new reality: one you would do anything to escape. You’ve lost something or someone that made life make sense. Maybe you’ve experienced a difficult break-up. Lost a dream job. Maybe you’re struggling with your health. Or maybe someone you love has died. Either way, you don’t know where to go from here. The things that usually help aren’t available due to the pandemic. It doesn’t feel like the people in your life to whom you turn for support understand what you’re going through. Or you worry they have too much going on in their own lives.

I can help you learn to manage the overwhelming emotions coming at you each day. I’ll be there with you to unpack your grief, in the many ways it will show up. I’ll help you learn healthy ways to cope and care for yourself during grief, and together, we’ll explore what your new life, the life with grief, will look like.

Reaching out for help is hard and overwhelming. I offer a free, 15-minute consultation so we can get to know one another. I respond to emails and calls promptly (within one business day or less). Even if I’m not the best fit for you, I’ll do whatever I can to help you find the right counselor. You made it this far in your search for support: don’t give up.
