My own path, however, has not been linear.

As a young adult, I explored many paths while intending eventually to pursue clinical psychology. After attending Wheaton College I taught meditation part-time, donated my time managing volunteers and planning retreats for an international consciousness studies organization, and spent more than a decade building a successful e-commerce business with my spouse in New York City. I cared deeply about contributing to the world and helping others, but somewhere along the way, I became increasingly disconnected from myself.

When chronic pain and health challenges emerged, my response was largely to try harder—to do more meditation, more energy work, and use more willpower to push through what my body was telling me. I became, in many ways, a human doing rather than a human being. Eventually, my body and nervous system had other plans. In 2014, I experienced profound burnout and a year of panic disorder among other things. For the first time in my life, I went to therapy. That experience changed the direction of my life thankfully.

I began making significant changes and found my way back to something I had known much earlier: I wanted to work intimately with people and accompany them through the difficult, beautiful, and complicated process of becoming more well, more fully themselves.

The years that followed brought plenty of life with them—motherhood, major financial loss, the pandemic, serious illness in my family, the discovery that a few longstanding diagnoses were incorrect, and other unexpected turns. The years also brought me back to my passion and purpose, and to the wisdom of self-acceptance and dwelling in the present moment.

In 2020, I completed my M.A. in Mental Health Counseling at Naropa University, specializing in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Psychotherapy. My additional training includes PACT Level 1, Level 2 Clinical Hypnotherapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, life coaching, psych*delic integration, and extensive study and supervision in Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Uri Talmor. I am also trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), conscious cannabis breathework, and am a Natural Medicine Facilitator.

Since 2019, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, attachment wounds, disconnection from Self and others, inner child work, trauma, CPTSD, ADHD, life transitions, burn out, questions of identity and meaning, reclaiming joy, and integrating profound experiences. I feel deeply grateful to have found my way back to the work I sensed I was meant to do so many years ago.

I live in Longmont, Colorado with my spouse, daughter, puppy, and a surprising number of aquariums. I enjoy connecting with nature, hiking, creating, dancing, fantasy books, and anything about consciousness. I provide psychotherapy to clients throughout Colorado and offer coaching internationally.
