In session, I offer safety, guidance, presence, compassion, and empowerment to regulate emotional dysregulation, manage anxiety and other forms of sympathetic activation, transform relational and attachment wounds, and integrate grief and loss into your life in meaningful ways.

I draw from my training and practice in Somatic Experiencing®, which offers a guided empathic way of experiencing your body (soma), increasing your capacity to feel and be with uncomfortalbe emotions, and renegotiate trauma from the inside out. This work is gentle, person-centered, and focused on your healing and enlivenment, which impacts your whole life and all the people your life touches. I also draw from my trainings in Attachment, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Bowen, and Trauma Systems Therapy to support you in transforming trauma and developing a deep sense of aliveness and embodiment.


I work with individual adults and couples in-person on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at my office in the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic in South Boulder, CO, and with individual adults over Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
