Whether you’re here to rebuild trust, loosen perfectionism, navigate neurodivergence, or finally put words to the ache you’ve been carrying, I’ll meet you there.

I work with individuals and couples who are tired of performing healing and ready to live it. Whether you’re navigating complex relationships, carrying the weight of roles you never asked for, or stuck in a cycle that insight alone hasn’t broken…this is a space for your full self.

I’m a systemic therapist, which means I hold space for all of you: your past, your patterns, your people, your parts. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, parts work, and nervous system regulation strategies to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and reconnect with yourself and the people you love.

Couples Therapy

I work with couples who want to feel close again but don’t know how to get there.
You’re stuck in the same fight, the same silence, the same ache you can’t quite name. Maybe you feel like roommates. Maybe you’re navigating the aftermath of betrayal or big life transitions.

You feel like you’re speaking two different emotional languages.
I specialize in helping couples navigate neurodivergence and the tension that can arise when one partner moves toward logic or solutions while the other is reaching for emotional connection. What one partner experiences as distance or lack of effort is often two nervous systems coping in different ways. Part of our work is slowing the cycle so you can understand each other instead of getting pulled further apart.

Every conversation feels loaded. Every silence feels louder. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to move couples from disconnection to safety. Whether you’re constantly arguing, avoiding hard conversations, or stuck in an emotional shutdown, I’ll help you understand the deeper needs and fears underneath the conflict.

You want to talk about sex…but it’s become awkward, tense, or off limits. The spark feels distant. I integrate sex therapy into my work with couples with nuance, humor, and zero shame.
If you’re feeling stuck in your intimate life, we can gently explore patterns around desire, pressure, emotional avoidance, or performance anxiety. This work is never about fixing or assigning blame. It’s about understanding what’s happening underneath. You don’t have to be perfect partners. You just have to be willing to try, together.

Individual Therapy

I work with individuals navigating relational trauma, performance-based worth, high-masking neurodivergence, and emotional disconnection. Many of my clients were the helper, the peacekeeper, or the fixer, long before they had the language for what that cost them. For many women discovering ADHD later in life, those roles became a way of compensating for a brain that was working overtime to keep up. Now they’re burned out, unsure of what they need, and quietly wondering, “Is this it?”

You’re the one everyone else turns to. But when do you get to exhale?
You’ve read the self-help books. You know the language. Maybe you’ve even been in therapy before. But knowing better hasn’t made it easier to let go of the pressure, the perfectionism, the deep need to be “okay” for everyone else.

You might be the overfunctioner. The one who anticipates everyone else’s needs but struggles to name your own. I’ll help you slow down, get curious about the parts of you that show up on autopilot, and begin to create a life that isn’t rooted in survival mode

We’ll explore the impact of trauma, attachment, masking, nervous system regulation, and the stories you’ve been carrying for too long. You don’t have to unravel everything all at once. But you do deserve a space that’s just for you.

My approach blends relational depth with practical tools. I use parts work, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and nervous system awareness to help you name what’s felt stuck, and shift the patterns you’re tired of repeating. We’ll slow down, stay curious, and help you reconnect with the parts of you that are ready for something softer, more honest, more you.

What You Can Expect from Working with Me:

Virtual or In-Person Arvada Therapy
  • A Relational and Trauma-Informed Approach: I specialize in relational trauma and attachment dynamics, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you reconnect with yourself and others. As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, I also utilize EMDR, a powerful, body-based trauma therapy that helps clients move through past traumas when talking alone isn’t enough.
  • Nervous System and Sensory Regulation: Healing is so much more than just “talking through it.” We’ll incorporate the wisdom of your body into our work. This means connecting to your nervous system and making sure you feel safe in your body as we explore deep emotions and unearth painful memories. I use grounding tools in the office and build sensory-based regulation kits with all of my clients to help you stay anchored, and build skills you can carry with you beyond our sessions.
  • Safety and Vulnerability: Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to “perform healing” or hide parts of yourself, including the ways you’ve learned to mask, over-function, or push through. We’ll explore what’s really going on beneath the surface at a pace that feels right for you.
  • Personal Growth, Not Perfection: This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about getting curious, exploring patterns, and reconnecting with the parts of you that feel lost without shame, just meaningful progress.

About Me

I am someone who believes that connection changes everything. The heart of my work is helping people move through relational trauma, emotional disconnection, and the burnout of always holding it all together. Outside of therapy, I recharge by curating playlists that feel like emotional time capsules, rewatching my favorite comfort shows with my partner, and baking for the people I love—with our dog, Archie, always nearby and ready to taste-test.

Growing up with my own mental health struggles, I know what it feels like to navigate the world with parts of yourself that others don’t fully understand. My healing journey has been deeply personal and continues to shape how I approach therapy. I don’t believe therapy is about fixing…it’s about helping you uncover the parts of yourself that feel lost, and finding clarity, softness, and the language for what’s been hidden.

You don’t have to be polished here.
