About My Clients
As good as it gets? One minute, everything seems fine; the next minute, you feel completely out of control. What happened? How did you get here? Sometimes, you wonder whether you’ll ever feel happy again. You know life can be better than this! And you dream about it. You often find yourself imagining what it would be like to truly look forward to your day – Free to make choices that lead to positive results. Empowered in the knowledge that you have the strength and courage to succeed.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy draws from multiple evidence-based therapy modalities. I teach my clients mindfulness-based therapy exercises and gives them the tools they need to become self-aware of their physical and emotional states. I also bring Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) into sessions so that clients learn how to monitor their thoughts for harmful patterns, assumptions, or self-criticisms. My goal is to boost clients’ self-esteem and empower them to not let their behaviors impact their quality of life or sense of meaning.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
People often ask me, “Why did you want to be a therapist?” For me, it’s building these connections with my clients and helping people overcome some of the most challenging experiences of their lives. Not only do I have the personal experience, but I also have extensive training in treating substance use, eating disorders, and mental health concerns. Outside work, I live in the Vail Valley with my husband and our wonderful dog. I spend my free time hiking, snowboarding, whitewater kayaking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking. We love to travel to both new and familiar places to explore and play outside.
