About My Clients
Things just don't feel the way they used to. You're not sure who you are anymore, the world doesn't feel the same and your relationship is.. just.. off. People encourage you to look at the bright side or give free advice, but none of it fits. It just isn't that simple. You've tried catering to others and communicating, but you still miss what you had. You hope you can feel more connected to yourself, to your partner and feel happier again. You just don’t know where to begin. I can help.
My Background and Approach
I help people pleasers, those with anxiety, pre-marital couples and struggling couples to reach their full potential by helping them heal their relationships with themselves and with others. I am trained both in social work and in couples and family therapy. I work with clients through attachment and systems based theories, which means that I work with your relationships and environment in mind. I support my clients with knowledge and tools from Gottman, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, PACT therapy to name a few. I like to give my clients evidenced-based skills that we practice in session, so they can start using them right away. I like to have structure in my sessions, allow goals to guide our time together and I assign homework to help you make changes outside of our sessions. I also offer couples in intensives and pre-marital intensives for those that want to go deeper, faster. Intensives take place on Fridays from 9a-3p. You can find more info on my website.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives. Your values, needs and goals drive our time together. I also believe that when working with clients it is always important to understand the impact that our society has on an individual. This often includes racism, sexism, able-ism, heteronormativity, neurotypicality and so forth. I am always working to own my privilege and grow in my understanding and advocacy of experiences that are outside of my own. I invite all of my clients to speak up if ever I misunderstand or misrepresent their experiences/identities in our time together. In session, I like to be direct and also use humor where appropriate. Outside of my sessions, I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, exploring Colorado, spending time with my husband, family and friends, reading, traveling and trying new things.
