About Us

At the heart of our work is a shared belief that deep change happens when people are met with presence, respect, and curiosity rather than prescriptive methods and pathologizing labels. We offer psychotherapy that honors the complexity of human experience and creates space for what has been carried, avoided, or left unnamed.

We work with adults navigating anxiety and distress, trauma, grief, depression, life transitions and identity shifts, and the accumulated impact of living in a turbulent and often overwhelming world. Many of us have learned to keep going, even when something inside is asking to slow down and be tended to.

Relational and Collaborative

We view therapy as a collaborative relationship rather than a set of techniques applied to a problem. We start with an attuned, safe (or “safe enough”) connection where experiences can be explored at a trusted pace. We attend closely to words, emotions, and the body and follow what emerges in the room. We trust that insight and change arise from being seen, witnessed, and accompanied (“with-nessed”) with authenticity and care.

Mindfulness and the Body

Our work is grounded in mindfulness-based and body-centered approaches that recognize the body as a resource, a central source of information and wisdom. That said, we understand that for many of us, the body may not be experienced as a place of safety, and present moment awareness may initially be intolerable. We approach the work with deep respect for the wisdom of each client’s nervous system and for the unique sensations, emotions, impulses, and patterns that arise moment to moment. Our work supports clients to develop greater awareness and capacity to stay present with their inner experience, going slowly, at the speed of trust.

Meaning and Values

Our approach is values-oriented. Rather than focusing on fixing something that feels broken, we support clients to explore and clarify what matters most, and to live in alignment with what matters even when life feels painful or uncertain.

We understand emotional distress not as something to be eliminated but as a deeply human response to pain, change, grief, and uncertainty, all experiences inherent in being alive. We turn toward these experiences with curiosity and compassion, listening for what they ask of us, and integrating them into a larger sense of self and life story. From this place, movement becomes possible, not toward a life free of pain and challenge, but toward one that feels more authentic, connected, and alive.

Co-Owner, Therapist, Consultant

With two decades of experience in the mental health field, I have had a chance to see people truly benefit from the support of therapy. My approach can be described as collaborative, warm, direct, challenging, and affirming. I have a degrees from Naropa University and am trained in Somatic Counseling Psychology. Bridging the mind and the body and accessing our full compliment of resources is, in my opinion, essential to personal growth and healing.

Together we will take perspective, build skills, and figure out what the next best step is. Sometimes people are intimidated and feel like "if I go to therapy, I'm going to have to change and give up a lot of things, and that's uncomfortable!" I believe growth can happen quickly and we will start to see it with just 1 degree of change. We will move at the right pace and make sure we take it at one step at a time.

Co-Owner, Therapist, Consultant

In my therapy practice, we make space for pain and distress so it can be held, carried, and integrated into our being, so we can go forward in our lives with a renewed sense of aliveness. I use an integrative approach, weaving mindfulness-based, body-based, transpersonal, and humanistic methods. My therapeutic stance is non-pathologizing, relational, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQ+/gender affirming and inclusive.

For clients who are feeling particularly stuck and struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, or chronic suicidal ideation, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a Journey Clinical member therapist. Ketamine is a rapid acting anti-depressant that often provides fast, temporary relief from distress, while creating windows of brain plasticity that, when paired with therapy, supports a loosening of rigid ways of thinking and behaving that have been keeping us stuck.

I hold related certifications from Integrative Psychiatry Institute for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and from Fluence for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and am a licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator in Training in Colorado. I provide harm reduction and integration support for clients seeking support in healing with psilocybin as well as standalone integration support for clients looking to process and make meaning of their journeys with all psychedelic medicines.
