With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have had a chance to see people truly benefit from the support of therapy. My approach can be described as collaborative, warm, direct, challenging, and affirming. I have a degree from Naropa University and am trained in Somatic counseling psychology. Bridging the mind and the body and accessing our full compliment of resources is, in my opinion, essential to personal growth and healing. There are internal and external struggles that we all deal with on the daily and sometimes we don't have access to all of our available resources in body, mind, and spirit. This can lead to feeling cut off from ourselves, our partners, our family, and/or our communities. I can support you in slowing down and figuring out how to skillfully access your resources and get creative and curious about your experiences. I can help you see beyond potential limiting patterns of thinking/feeling/doing. Together we will take perspective, build skills, and figure out what the next best step is. Sometimes people are intimidated and feel like "if I go to therapy, I'm going to have to change a lot and stop using all the things that have previously served me, and that's uncomfortable!" I believe growth can happen quickly and we will start to see it with just 1 degree of change. We can move at the right pace and make sure we take it at one step at a time.
