Nice to meet you!
My life's work is creating vibrant well-being
What a gift to love your work! I integrate my training as a Somatic Therapist, Yoga and Mindfulness teacher, and Sound Bath practitioner with clients and in my writing.​​
​
Somatic Therapy
​
​I work with individuals and couples who are seeking joy, connection, and meaning, but something is standing in their way. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware, yet still find themselves stuck in familiar emotional or relational patterns that are difficult to shift alone.
​
In addition to my Master's degree in Somatic Counseling, I've trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based practices, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.​​​​
​
I wholeheartedly believe therapy can be both deep and approachable, and I'm all about making space for curiosity, creativity, and even humor along the way.
​​
Yoga, Mindfulness, and Sound Baths​
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 25 years studying, practicing, and teaching yoga and mindfulness, experiences that continue to influence how I think about whole-person wellbeing.
​
Whether I'm teaching a group class, private session, or incorporating simple yoga and mindfulness techniques into therapy sessions, I consider it my mission to make wellness practices more welcoming, accessible, and personalized to your needs in the moment.
​
Family and community​​​​
​
As a mom of three amazing kids ranging from middle school to college, I know what it's like to juggle the demands of real life logistics.
My husband and I co-founded Chicago's Bloom Yoga Studio in 2004. I'm endlessly grateful for that beautiful community even as I now continue my involvement primarily from our home in Boulder, CO.
​
​
I believe connection is the key to a life well-lived
Things I love​
​
I'm a quality over quantity type of friend.
I love cooking (and eating!) delicious food, reading, listening to live music, watching great films, writing, laughing my head off at comedy shows, and playing piano, among other things.
When I'm not with clients, I delight in mountain biking, skiing, or hiking with my husband, kids, and our sweet pup to enjoy all the nature, beauty, and fun the front range has to offer.​
​
If you're seeking a way to live more joyfully and find whole person health and vibrant wellbeing in your real, imperfect everyday life, I invite you to reach out to see if it's a fit for us to work together.​
