The challenges of life can seem overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, fear and insecurity can negatively color your perception of yourself and your life, and cause mental, emotional, somatic, and social distress. It is possible, however, to change this familiar pattern by working with your mind, emotions, and behaviors in a way that fosters growth. If you are dedicated to your psychological growth, and you practice using methods such as mindful awareness and contemplative inquiry, you can access your best self, and steer your life in a positive direction. We all have both healthy and unhealthy patterns. You can strengthen your healthy self and heal the destructive patterns. It’s all workable, when you have tools that you use consistently over time.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. I work with adults who are experiencing suffering in their life by creating an environment of mindfulness, compassion, and inner …awareness. My specialization is Contemplative Psychotherapy which utilizes the inner strength and skill of mindful awareness to help create a felt sense of empowerment and wholeness. In addition, I am also trained in utilizing the Enneagram which is a powerful therapeutic resource for psychological growth. I started my career as a Therapist at Mental Health Partners in Boulder, and soon moved into a leadership role at Naropa University and the University of Colorado where I focused on guiding counselors and providing supervision to new practitioners. I continued my training and became a Certified Coach working with clients in professional settings; now I have come full circle and I currently have a practice integrating mental health counseling and coaching.

I specialize in the following areas: cultivating self-compassion, self- acceptance, and inner awareness. We will work on healing habitual patterns that perpetuate anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. Together, we will foster a strong inner life that supports growth, health, and self-confidence. I am experienced in working with relationship issues, spirituality, meditation, self-actualization, and somatic awareness. I am also experienced in career related issues such as career choice, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, decision making, work and life values clarification, self-judgement, fear of failure, strengths development, stress, burnout, and work/life balance.
