I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Doctor of Educational Leadership. But more importantly, I'm someone who genuinely gets what you're going through.

I’ve spent two decades as a school counselor, teacher, and mental health therapist in schools in Los Angeles, Orange County and Boulder County. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients facing anxiety, depression, academic pressure, identity questions, and relationship struggles. I've seen firsthand how overwhelming it feels to be a teen or young adult today - the constant comparison on social media, the pressure to have it all figured out, and the weight of expectations from every direction.

As a mom of four (3 kids under 4 and a pre-teen stepdaughter), I understand the other side too: the worried parent who doesn't know how to help their struggling teen, the exhausted mom who's giving everything to everyone else, and the guilt that comes with feeling like you're failing even when you're doing your best.

My approach is practical, not just theoretical. I use evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy because they work. I'm also certified in Acudetox/Acuwellness (auricular acupuncture), a gentle technique that helps calm anxiety during sessions.

I work with:

• Teenagers and Young Adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions

• Moms navigating postpartum challenges, parenting stress, and supporting their struggling teens

• Teen and young adult couples learning healthy communication, attachment styles, and relationship skills

Whether we meet in my Boulder office or virtually anywhere in Colorado, my goal is the same: to help you build real tools that work in your actual life, not just in the therapy room.
