Compassionate Therapy Centered Around Your Family’s Needs
Being a parent means being in constant state of acceptance. By the time you’ve accepted your child’s current iteration and current needs, they’ve already changed.
In a society where parenting is a verb, and family units are expected to thrive without the support of a village or greater community structure, it can be really challenging to feel like you’re meeting every need your child has. It’s virtually impossible, really. That’s where I come in.
Whether you’re a parent (or a couple) searching for the best ways to meet your kid where they are, or looking for a trusted third party to build support for your child, my work will bring your family closer together, and help you bridge the gap between what’s being felt and what’s being said.
If you’re a parent, our sessions could look like:
Exploring the source of your child’s behavior
Understanding your personal reactions to the behavior, and how it impacts the larger family unit
Reframing their behavior and learning new skills to react, respond, and re-structure.
If you’re looking for therapy for your kid:
I’ll create a safe space for them to vent their feelings to a neutral third party
Help them understand their behavior — how it feels to them, how it affects others around them
Teach them new ways to regulate, and new ways to express themselves
Offer family sessions to facilitate healthy, effective communication between family members
A bit about me
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I spent 6 years in New Orleans before moving to Denver, Colorado in June 2022 to be closer to the mountains. I spend my time outside of work enjoying the beauty that surrounds me, and building and nourishing my community. I love to be physically active, and am always finding new ways to practice embodiment and find joy. I love to bike, practice yoga, spend time with my friends outside, and head out to the mountains to breathe in that crisp mountain air.
I am credentialed with Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, and Carelon. I also accept private pay. I see clients via the Alma platform, and am currently only offering telehealth services. For that reason, I do not facilitate 1:1 sessions with children under the age of ten, although family sessions including parents and children can involve children of any age.

Couples
Sessions focused on how you and your partner can manage parenting together, and find ways to support one another in the messiness that often manifests in family life. Relationship skills between partners, and systems to help shift family dynamics.
Adolescents & Teens
Sessions with your child, creating a safe space for them to understand their feelings and learn to better regulate and express themselves. Family therapy will also be offered to facilitate communication between family members.
Do any of these resonate with you?

Are you noticing that behaviors in your family unit are having ripple effects throughout the family members?
Are you struggling with communication breaks in your relationships and hoping to find effective ways to manage conflict with a loved one or a family member?
Do you find yourself up at night thinking about how to best parent your children?
Are you trying to break the cycle of generational patterns of parenting?
Do you want your child to establish a working therapeutic relationship with a trusted, third-party adult?
If any of these feel true to you, we might be a good fit.
