Personal and relational wellness are values in my heart and practice. I love helping couples improve their relationships with each other and themselves and I love helping couples build confidence and find a clear path forward.

Prior to my career as a marriage and family therapist, I was a heavy metal musician. Later, I realized it was a creative outlet that helped me channel repressed anger, harness creativity, and build a sense of personal power.

After establishing a regular meditation practice toward the end of my music career, my values shifted and I left the field of music. Eventually, I became a certified life coach, prioritized my spiritual and shamanic practices, and entered into the world of academia.

Decades of study, dozens of training programs, and many years of practice as a marriage and family therapist later, I receive great joy from helping others find personal and relational wellness.

I received my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Contemplative Psychology with concentrations in Humanistic & Transpersonal and Somatic Psychology from Naropa University.

My clinical training and practice is grounded in family systems, marital and family therapy, evidence-based interventions, and trauma-informed care, in addition to mindfulness, somatic, humanistic, and transpersonal integration approaches.

I received my Certified Life Coach (CLC) credential from an International Coach Federation (IFC) Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP), Coach for Life. I also received my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from IFC, which I relinquished.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Premarital Counselor, an IFS and IFIO Therapist, and a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional. In addition, I am a Certified Life Coach, and a Mentor.

In my other half of life I was a heavy metal guitarist/singer/songwriter and band leader. My bands recorded albums and toured the U.S.

I am happily married, with one fur-child Australian Shepherd. I like to spend my free time with my husband and dog doing adventure travel and playing in nature. Self-care and continued personal and professional growth are an integral part of my life.
