It’s exhausting trying to
keep it all together -
you deserve support
and therapy can help

You’ve been holding it all together for so long — and now it’s starting to fall apart.

You’re snapping at people you love. One offhand comment or spiraling thought can derail your whole day. It feels like you're constantly on edge, overwhelmed, and barely hanging on. You’ve tried everything you can think of to fix it — but nothing’s working.

You know something needs to change.

You just don’t know where to start. And that’s okay.

What you do need is the right space — to process the pain, figure out what’s really going on, and learn the skills that will actually help you feel better.

That’s where I come in.

I know that intense mix of burn out, anxiety and depression — trying to function while everything inside feels like it’s unraveling. I’ve been there, and I get it. I offer compassionate, down-to-earth support in your most vulnerable moments, so you can finally start to feel like you again.

Together, we’ll create a warm, safe space where you can breathe, reflect, and heal. I’ll teach you practical, evidence-based tools (like CBT, ACT, and the Gottman Method) that you can use in your everyday life — not just to survive, but to actually feel better.

I bring golden retriever energy to therapy — loyal, encouraging, and always in your corner — but I’ll also meet you in the mess. Clients often tell me our sessions feel like catching up with a close friend: supportive, honest, and even (sometimes) fun.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore. Let’s figure it out together.

Schedule a Consultation

During this call, I will share my professional background, as well as discuss practical details such as scheduling and rates. This session is designed to help us determine if we are a suitable match for your therapeutic journey.

02.

Start Therapy on Your Terms

We will focus on what is most important to you—whether that is identifying the obstacles that are holding you back or addressing the deeper issues that disrupt your sleep. Our approach centers on your objectives, allowing you to set the pace, and fostering genuine transformation in your life.

03.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You deserve support (and joy!), and you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone. Constant negative thoughts and relationship patterns can trick us into that nothing has ever helped and nothing will. Together, we can pinpoint where you want to grow, and what’s been getting in your way. If you’re sick of feeling constantly exhausted, distracted, drained, numb, empty, restless, or irritable, therapy can help.

  • Our current rate for individual adult or teen counseling is $140. Our current rate for couples counseling is $200. Sliding scales are available for those who qualify - inquire for more details.

  • We do not directly bill insurance companies for services at this time. If you need help finding an in-network therapist, we would be happy to help!

  • We accept all major credit cards as well as FHA and HSA cards. We process payment electronically after each session through our secure client portal.

  • This varies greatly from client to client. Our belief is that establishing a therapeutic relationship takes time and that slowing down is an important aspect of making space for new perspectives and change. We believe clients should only attend therapy for as long as they find it helpful. You attend as many sessions as you like without any obligation to continue.

  • We get it - life happens! The first time you miss or cancel an appointment within 24 hours, there is no charge. If it happens again, it is our policy to charge the full appointment fee. If you notify us about cancelling or rescheduling an appointment with more than 24 hours notice, we would be glad to accommodate you.

  • We only provide services to residents of Colorado in compliance with our professional licensure.

  • Yes! I am part of Elephant in the Room’s collective of dedicated trauma therapists. If you need to use insurance, you can do so through that group practice.
