Helping Women Feel Stronger, Clearer, and More Connected—to Themselves and Others

With over 25 years of experience, I help women explore the emotional patterns that are holding them back—with curiosity, compassion, and depth. Whether you’re facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, or a season of self-doubt, I’ll create a space where you can be fully seen, fully supported, and fully yourself.

My clients are thoughtful, insightful women who often look like they’re managing it all on the outside—but inside, feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly running on empty. They’re tired of carrying so much alone. They’re ready to make sense of their emotions and to start thriving instead of just getting by.

Who I Work With

I specialize in relationship therapy and anxiety, but my work extends to the full spectrum of women’s emotional health—including:

  • Relationship anxiety – overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, jealousy

  • Dating challenges – attracting unavailable partners, feeling anxious or disheartened

  • Self-esteem and self-worth – the inner critic, perfectionism, never feeling “enough”

  • Depression and emotional burnout – feeling numb, disconnected, or hopeless

  • Life transitions – divorce, motherhood, career shifts, or midlife change

  • Parenting support – especially for moms navigating co-parenting or emotional overload

  • Recovery from affairs or betrayal – healing pain and confusion in your relationship

  • Deciding whether to stay or leave – exploring the deeper dynamics behind indecision

In short, if you’ve been carrying invisible emotional weight for too long, I’m here to help you unpack it—with care, insight, and real tools for change.

What It’s Like to Work with Me

I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for present-day stressors with Psychodynamic Therapy that goes deeper—helping you understand how past experiences shape your current patterns.

I believe that the therapy relationship is a powerful space to explore how you relate to others—and to yourself.

My approach is nurturing, accepting and deeply engaged. I’m not just quietly nodding in session, I’m an attentive listener, but am also actively in dialogue with you.

I ask meaningful questions. I reflect what I see and support you as you try out new skills and ways of being with yourself and the important people in your life. My goal is for therapy to be collaborative, alive and personal.

In our work together, we’ll:

  • Explore the emotional roots of your relationship and emotional patterns

  • Identify and shift the self-doubt and coping strategies that no longer serve you

  • Build a stronger sense of self—one that feels rooted, not performative

  • Practice new ways of being close, confident, and connected

  • Talk openly about what’s working in therapy and what needs adjusting

  • Tap deeply into prior unresolved hurt or betrayal that may still be impacting you today

A Bit About Me Beyond the Therapy Room

Originally from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, my goal is to bring genuine warmth and kindness into everything I do. Over the years, my journey has taken me to many different cities—Austin and Dallas, Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Tucson, Arizona and Atlanta, Georgia—before settling in Denver, where I founded the Women’s Counseling Center of Denver in 2014.

My life has been shaped by change, adventure, and a deep curiosity about people and the world. A lifelong traveler, I’ve visited over 30 countries, and find great meaning in exploring different cultures and perspectives.

A deep connection and caring for animals since childhood has led me to a strong lifelong commitment to animal welfare—a passion I bring into both my personal life and advocacy work.

I believe that who we are outside the therapy room matters just as much as what we bring into it.
