I hold dual board certification as a Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP, PMHNP) with 27+ years of experience in a wide range of professional NP roles (clinician, manager, educator). Graduating from Georgetown University with a BSN, I practiced as an RN and 10 years later completed a master’s degree at the University of New Mexico leading to FNP certification. After decades of involvement in health promotion activities that have dovetailed with my career, the mental health challenges that I observed while working on the front lines of the pandemic inspired me to complete my second master’s degree. I regard my career as more of a calling than a job. My passion and privilege are to offer consultation from a compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic perspective. My intent is to promote patient involvement in and understanding of how their goals and plan of care can support their healing journey toward a purposeful life. After growing up in Washington, D.C., I moved to Santa Fe, NM to complete certification in massage therapy and teach yoga. I’m delighted to have decades calling Colorado home. Now, I live in Boulder and enjoy activities in nature (all seasons and ecosystems), care for animals, travel adventures, service opportunities, music as well as studying yoga and tai chi for more than 30 years. Your mental health concerns, questions, and experiences are welcome, and will be approached with care and respect.

To speak of one’s experience can open the door to self-examination and potential change. By giving voice to thoughts that are otherwise left unsaid, it’s possible to both articulate one’s pain and find ways out of suffering. As a clinician, I seek to give each individual room to speak freely and openly about their experience of life, without offering prescriptive solutions to unique concerns. My clinical approach is primarily psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, where I invite people to speak of their experience without censoring their thoughts, leaving room for the expression of something unexpected. I also draw from other practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy, if they suit a particular client or situation. Just as each individual is different, so is every treatment.

My personal identities include: child of immigrants, millennial, cis woman, queer, & mostly able bodied. I find joy in working with: fat/larger bodied folks, the global majority/children of immigrants, & 2SLGBTQIA+. I found that navigating both my culture and what society expected of me was in a lot of ways harmful to my mental health and safety. I continue to go on my own journey of therapy, finding safe community and exploring my own biases. I often watch anime, play video games, board games, and love to bring those into session if appropriate. The topics, tools and space we create together are to support your exploration. Our clinical space will be filled with self compassion so that we can integrate your mind, body, and soul in healing relationships with your own body and others. Through my living/ed experience as a fat person of color, I welcome conversations about intersectionality and systemic oppression. I have spent the majority of my career supporting people of color navigate through different phases of life, especially in college years. We will explore safety in the body, grounding, expressing complex thoughts/feelings, family dynamics and patterns that may or may not serve you anymore. My hope is that you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, celebrate who you are, and recognize the tools you have to support your wellness. My clinical approach: fat liberation, anti-racist, intersectional lens, and sex positive.

“I feel hopeless, anxious, and I worry all the time.” “I am a people pleaser and I am exhausted.” “I don’t know how to navigate big feelings/emotions; they’re too much.” Does this sound familiar? I am here to help as you deserve to live a life that makes you look forward to waking up each morning! Feeling hopeless, anxious, and full of worry can be debilitating, overwhelming, and lonely. Oftentimes, our belief in our own resiliency gets buried during these times. I have had the privilege of walking with people of all ages on their life's journey, uncovering their resiliency. There has always been an innate desire to help others achieve their potential and see their own greatness; realize their past doesn’t define them, and their future is theirs to create. If you are ready to uncover your greatness and create goals for a future you create, you can call me or send me a message. I look forward to meeting you!

“I wake up feeling a sense of dread daily”… “Why do I keep avoiding opportunities for change and growth?”… “I often feel like I have no control over my emotions”… “Alcohol has taken control of my life” … If any of these statements feel familiar, I am here to help. Mental health complexities such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction don’t have to control your life. I have witnessed the impact that emotional understanding and healing can have on the quality of life of countless individuals.

“I feel stuck and alone” “I want to feel better but I don’t know how to get there” “I am tired of the way I have been living and I need something to change” “I don’t know why I feel this way” You are not alone. I am here with you and want to support you through this. Therapy is not always the first idea that pops into our heads when it comes to dealing with life’s stressors; and asking for support in some of our most hardest times can be challenging. Or maybe you have tried and had a not-so-helpful experience. Each one of us has lived different life experiences and faced hardships that can leave us feeling alone, lost, overwhelmed, and possibly even helpless. While I don't aim to “fix” or “solve” these hardships, I do aim to validate each experience and emotions that comes from these challenges and support you in gaining control of your life again through increasing your self awareness and self-acceptance to help you reach whatever “better” look and feels likes for you.

It’s okay if you’re not sure where to begin. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the discomfort, whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition. What matters is that you’re ready to start, and I’m here to help you figure out the next steps, no matter how small. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and find a way forward that feels more aligned with who you truly are. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to get curious about themselves and create change that sticks. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to be real, and supported enough to take meaningful steps forward. I’ll bring honesty, and the occasional nerdy metaphor. You bring your story, your goals, and whatever you’re ready to unpack. No matter what you're going through, there’s always hope for growth, change, and healing. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out by phone or message, and together, we can start working on the steps that will bring you closer to the life you envision.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. From the moment we begin working together, my goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore life's challenges, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I work with adults of all ages navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and the impacts of addiction. There is a particular place in my heart for emerging adults as they find their footing through identity development, relationships, career pressures, and the significant changes that come with early adulthood. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I approach every person I work with as exactly that: an individual. Drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and narrative therapy, I meet you where you are and build a holistic, individualized therapeutic experience that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Recognizing that each person's experiences, challenges, and healing process are different shapes everything about how I show up for you. My aim, as a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist, is for you to leave each session feeling empowered, supported, and more connected to yourself as you navigate life's complexities. Graduating with my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University in 2023 marked the beginning of a career rooted in purpose. Upon earning my LPC credential, I began providing outpatient therapy in the Boulder area, offering individual counseling to adults seeking support in managing their mental health and building a fulfilling life. At the heart of this work is a deep belief in the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Whatever you are navigating, I am here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. With several years of experience, I work with adults navigating some of life's most complex terrain, helping you find your footing when anxiety feels unmanageable, when past experiences weigh heavily on the present, or when relationships and sense of self feel uncertain. Empathy and authentic connection are at the heart of how I work. If you're looking for a thoughtful, attuned partner in your care, I look forward to helping you feel more connected, balanced, and at ease. My approach is gentle, grounding, and collaborative. Sessions are designed to be a safe, restorative space where you can slow down, tune into your nervous system, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Using relaxation techniques and nervous system-focused strategies, I help you reconnect with yourself and build a sense of balance that carries beyond our time together. Every person's needs and goals are different, and I tailor my approach accordingly. Whatever you're working through, you can expect a space that is supportive, unhurried, and shaped around you. A natural empathy for others and a deep desire to support people through life's challenges first drew me to this work. That pull became a purpose, and over time it shaped my commitment to providing warm, supportive, and empowering care. Authenticity and compassion guide every session. Whether you're working to restore a sense of well-being, process difficult experiences, or simply find more meaning in your daily life, I'm here to walk that path with you. Outside of sessions, you'll likely find me on a yoga mat, out on a trail, or setting up camp somewhere with my dog by my side. These practices of mindfulness, movement, and time in nature are part of how I stay grounded, and they deepen my appreciation for the quiet power of simply slowing down.
