About Me
Therapy in Boulder, and
across Colorado.
Background:
I was raised in the conservative & delightfully southern culture of North Carolina. My father is a musician from California and my mother taught yoga and body work before becoming a full time mom to me and my two brothers.
At the tender age of 16 I read 'Siddhartha' by the great German mystic Herman Hesse. I began to develop a deep, life long appreciation for mysticism and in particular for the Buddhist teachings. This led me to the study & practice of meditation. I spent a year and half studying & practicing Buddhist teachings & practices in India and Nepal. Towards the end of my time in Nepal, I completed a 100 day retreat at Nagi Gompa, a famous monastery on the slopes of Shiva Puri mountain, with incredible views over looking the Kathmandu valley. It was a cold and wet winter, with lots of time to meditate amidst the bustle and warm hearted monks, nuns & yogis.
I earned a Masters in Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies and have taught meditation and mindfulness in various contexts, including the college classroom and at both middle and high schools.
Later in life I returned to school to earn a Masters in Clinical Psychology, in order to better serve and help people to live inspired, vibrant lives, and more aligned with their highest values.
Why I became a therapist:
Despite living in the wealthiest society in recorded history, many of us today are beset by anxiety, depression and lack of meaning and connection.
I became a therapist to help people to heal and to rediscover their connection with the greater world and to live the lives they are meant to be living during our brief time on this planet.
My approach to therapy:
Mindfulness is foundational to the work that I do.
I offer a variety of approaches and tools to bring greater awareness and acceptance of what is.
From this foundation, true change and growth is possible.
Therapy is a very individualized process and does not look the same way for different people.
Depending on what is needed, therapy can involve processing and healing past traumas that were overwhelming at the time.
It could look like support to stay in recovery from addiction
It could look like learning new ways to communicate and deepen intimacy and connection.
It could also look like receiving support to live a life of greater happiness, well being and inspiration.
What I like to do for fun:
I love to be outside with my dog Sailor Moon, roaming the trails and mountains around Boulder, Colorado.
I love to go skiing, the practice of dance (especially Ecstatic Dance), and I have had a consistent meditation practice for 22 years
I also enjoy playing guitar and DJ with live improv guitar at events and gatherings.
Quotes I find inspiring:
“Every morning think as you wake up: I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.”
-The Dalai Lama
I would love to help you build a life that brings you happiness and fulfillment. Anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships & loneliness does not need to be your normal. Fundamental clarity, freedom & loving connections are our birth right as human beings and there is no reason you can't deeply know this to be true - for you.
