Through a delicate balance of self-love and self-honesty, we can begin to discern the persona we have created from the essence of who we are. As the ego, or personality, becomes increasingly easy to identify, we are able to recognize and resist its programming and begin taking ownership of our choices. Trying to control our external reality is exhausting and ultimately impossible, but our inner reality can be entirely of our choosing. True freedom and security is cultivated within and brings an unshakeable sense of peace to even life’s roughest waters.
I am originally from the Bay Area but moved to Colorado in 2013. My partner and I have five children and a very full life here in Castle Rock. I have been a devoted yoga practitioner for more than 20 years. If I am not in the yoga studio, I am usually out in nature, enjoying a hike, or hitting the slopes. My friends generally describe me as fun, loving, and deeply honest. If you are struggling to repair your relationship or are looking to rewrite some of the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, I would be honored to help guide you through that process. I look forward to connecting with you either in my Castle Rock office or through virtual therapy sessions!

We are at a time on the planet where gender roles are changing. Men are being asked to be both sensitive and strong, both nurturer and provider. Navigating intimate relationships and defining one’s identity can be a challenging task in such a rapidly shifting world. I specialize in working with men to realign to their purpose and values so that they have a solid foundation, even in an unstable world.
Waking up to our spiritual nature can be a disorienting and even frightening experience. With heightened awareness comes heightened sensitivity. Developing a method for integrating these new experiences can allow this process to be less overwhelming and more enjoyable.
EMDR is a powerful technique in working with trauma. A series of rapid eye movements is used while working with the traumatic memory in order to allow that memory to be reprocessed in an adaptive way. The eye movement helps the brain to rebalance itself and release the emotional charge held around traumatic incidents.
Working with sacred plant medicines has become an increasingly common element of spiritual growth. However, without adequate spiritual grounding or a context to put such experiences in, these openings can lead to a great deal of fear and confusion. I work with clients to facilitate integration of entheogenic experiences so that they can uncover the wisdom available in these types of deep inner journeys.
