Therapy in Louisville, Boulder & Erie, Colorado

Every journey is unique. I tailor therapy to your needs, strengths, and goals, blending evidence-based methods with creative, supportive strategies so you feel both understood and empowered. My work meets you where you are, whether you’re a teen (ages 13+), adult, or couple.

Evidence-Based Foundations

I integrate somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and parts-work to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and healing from within. These approaches emphasize the mind-body connection and meet you where you are, beyond traditional talk therapy.

Couples & Relationship Work

As a Certified Level 2 Gottman Therapist, I help couples in the Boulder and Louisville areas improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. Whether you’re navigating conflict, life transitions, or long-term commitment, I provide practical, research-based tools for relational growth.

Relational & Experiential Approaches

Healing happens in relationships, both with yourself and with others. My background as a school counselor informs a relational, down-to-earth approach. With teens, I incorporate creative, play-based, and experiential activities that make exploring emotions natural and engaging.

My Philosophy

Therapy should feel human, not clinical. I create a warm, collaborative space where you can be yourself, feel supported, and explore what matters most. Sessions are flexible, sometimes focused on practical skills, other times on deeper reflection or relational work. Every session leaves you with tools to carry into daily life.

Putting It All Together

I use these approaches flexibly, based on your needs. Some sessions may focus on practical skills; others may center on reflection, processing, or relationships. My goal is simple: to offer a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and leave with something useful to carry into your daily life.
