“Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.”

Compassionate Therapy for Individuals and Couples
In-Person in Boulder and online throughout Colorado
I believe you are the expert of your own life, with a unique and deeply personal experience, and that the most meaningful changes emerge from deepening your inner awareness and enhancing your ability to express your experience.
I can help by guiding you to understand why you’ve been showing up the way you have been and uncovering the unmet needs driving those patterns. Through compassion focused therapy, we’ll explore what you truly need and work toward finding internal and external ways to meet those needs, so that you can move forward with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.
I am a Level I trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. In my practice, I blend attatchment theory and strength-based perspectives through the IFS lens offering a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental and validating approach to support my clients.

“Communicating fully is the opposite of being traumatized.” Bessel van der Kolk
Expertise
Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, or misunderstood? I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore challenges, build deeper emotional connections, and grow into their fullest potential. I specialize in working with men who want to expand their emotional awareness and develop the tools to communicate their feelings and needs effectively. Together, we can overcome barriers to emotional expression, deepen connections, and cultivate self-confidence and clarity.
We begin with a complementary consultation to learn about my services and to identify some of the challenges you're facing. This session will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and delve into the Internal Family Systems (IFS) process and what you can expect from our work together.
