I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety, and men’s mental health concerns. I also have experience supporting first responders and veterans. My sessions are supportive and approachable, but I’m not afraid to challenge long-held beliefs or stuck patterns. I believe therapy is most effective when it offers a place to be genuinely vulnerable while also pushing toward change, with humor and honesty helping to make the hard work possible. My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in understanding the full context of your life.

Drawing from Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Gottman Method therapies, I help clients examine the stories they tell themselves, recognize their strengths, and develop strategies that align with their own goals and values. I see therapy as more than just talk. It should consider somatic, systemic, and cultural factors to support true, lasting change. I define success in therapy by your terms, not mine. I aim to offer a dependable, grounded space where you can clarify what matters most to you and work toward meaningful goals with greater resilience and self-awareness. Whether you’re seeking individual support or wanting to strengthen your relationship, I’m committed to meeting you where you are and helping you navigate the complexities of life with clarity and confidence.

I provide trauma therapy, EMDR therapy, couples counseling, grief counseling, and anxiety treatment in Parker, Colorado and throughout Douglas County and the greater Colorado area. I specialize in helping clients navigate the complexities of unresolved trauma, relationship distress, and the emotional exhaustion that comes with major life transitions. Using a trauma-informed and integrative approach, I help individuals and couples move beyond “stuck” patterns to find genuine healing and nervous system regulation.

As a trained EMDR therapist, I provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients reprocess traumatic memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and experience relief from symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life events. EMDR allows the brain to heal in a way that talk therapy alone often cannot, helping you move beyond survival mode toward genuine healing.

I am also trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2), using research-based interventions to help couples improve communication, rebuild trust after hurt, and restore emotional connection. Whether you are navigating ongoing conflict, emotional disconnection, or betrayal, I provide structured, practical tools that create meaningful shifts both inside and outside of session.

My clinical approach integrates somatic therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-focused work to support the mind–body connection. With a background in yoga and meditation, I incorporate trauma-sensitive practices to help clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from their bodies. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported at a sustainable pace.

Specialized Clinical Areas:

• Trauma & PTSD: Resolving the “invisible wounds” of the past.
• Relationship Distress: Navigating marriage, family, and attachment patterns.
• Grief & Loss: Supporting you through the complexities of complicated grief.
• Anxiety & Chronic Stress: Finding calm through nervous system regulation.

Whether you are seeking trauma therapy, grief counseling, EMDR, or couples therapy using the Gottman Method, I strive to meet you with compassion, clinical skill, and respect. My goal is to help you feel more connected—to yourself, to others, and to the life you want to build.
