My Approach
I believe the quality of our relationships profoundly influences how we experience life’s greatest joys, challenges, and transitions. Whether we’re navigating grief, conflict, uncertainty, parenting, a medical diagnosis, or simply feeling disconnected from ourselves or the people we love, healing rarely happens in isolation. It grows through relationships built on trust, understanding, and connection.
My work is relationship-centered and grounded in attachment science and systemic therapy. Together, we’ll take time to understand the experiences that have shaped you, identify the patterns influencing your relationships, and build new ways of connecting that feel more authentic, secure, and fulfilling. I believe therapy isn’t about fixing people—it’s about creating space for growth, greater self-understanding, and lasting change.
My Journey
My path to becoming a marriage and family therapist was shaped over nearly three decades of walking alongside children, adults, and families during some of life’s most meaningful and challenging moments.
After earning my Doctor of Audiology degree, I spent 16 years as a pediatric audiologist, helping children with hearing loss and supporting their families through diagnosis, treatment, cochlear implantation, and the many emotions that often accompany those experiences. Later, I spent 13 years partnering with hospitals and cochlear implant programs throughout North America, supporting healthcare teams dedicated to improving care for individuals with hearing loss and their families.
Throughout my career, I was continually reminded that while every diagnosis and every family is unique, one thing remains remarkably consistent: relationships matter. I witnessed the resilience that grows when people feel supported, understood, and connected, even during life’s most difficult seasons.
Those experiences ultimately inspired me to return to graduate school and become a marriage and family therapist. I wanted to focus more deeply on helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen the relationships that sustain them—not only during times of crisis, but throughout the many transitions that shape our lives.

How I Work
I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, trauma, parenting stress, caregiver stress, and emotional overwhelm. While every client brings a unique story, my goal is always the same: to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity rather than judgment, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they move toward greater clarity, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of connection.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of my practice, you’ll most often find me spending time with my partner and our pups, exploring Colorado, traveling, enjoying the outdoors, or connecting with family and friends. These experiences continually remind me of the importance of curiosity, compassion, laughter, and meaningful relationships—the same values I strive to bring into every therapy session.
Let's Connect
Finding the right therapist is an important decision, and I believe the relationship you have with your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change. That’s why I offer a complimentary 45-minute video consultation. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, answer your questions, and determine whether we’re the right fit.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, hoping to strengthen your relationships, or simply looking for a place to begin, I’d be honored to connect with you.
