I'm an experienced trauma and grief therapist, counseling people facing very painful situations and emotions. Students, faculty and staff come with some common issues: post traumatic stress, de-motivation, relationships falling apart, trouble with dysfunctional families/groups, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss. What about you? What brings you to reach for support? Are you devastated, angry, sad, betrayed? Do you feel trapped, helpless, shamed, confused, sick? Are you overwhelmed, super...

People often seek therapy because they need help with something they have not been able to resolve on their own. We view our purpose in therapy as providing insight and perspective, responding compassionately to concerns, and integrating a sense of humor. We strive to help people resolve their current problems in a way that also gives them the ability to deal with stressors in the future....
My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. E...
I specialize in helping individuals recovery from eating disorders, disordered eating, compulsive/obligatory exercise, body image distress and associated anxiety and depression. I practice virtually in Colorado so accessing counseling is flexible and convenient.

Fun fact: I majored in Chemistry and decided in the end I was more interested in people than molecules. I've been sup...
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client, and that by working together we can help you move toward understanding and healing.

I strive to kindly challenge the way people think, and to be challenged myself. I am honored when asked to be present in challenging times, and work to balance holding room for discomfort while helping y...
LET’S BE HONEST: Existing between worlds is exhausting. Co-existing in multiple worlds and cultures doesn’t come with a roadmap. The competing demands and expectations leave you feeling tugged in opposing directions, and you’re left with the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you’ll never be enough for anyone. Even though there are many people in your life, it feels like nobody from any ‘side’ really gets you, and you’re not sure where you truly belong. You’re tired of facing mic...
