About Me

I view therapy from a humanistic, trauma-informed lens. Interventions are eclectic but tend to focus on cognitive-behavioral, narrative, EMDR, ego state, solution-focused, and relational-cultural approaches. As a long-time writing teacher and certified “music nerd,” I am interested professionally in how various expressive arts intersect with my clinical work in ways that both build the therapeutic alliance and help clients gain insight into themselves and their relationships.

My first job working with adolescents was as a hiking and backpacking counselor, and I am still an avid outdoor enthusiast. Raised in New Mexico but a resident of Colorado for 30 years, I am an avid Colorado sports fan. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my partner, my adult sons, and my 5-year-old daughter.
