With over two decades dedicated to the field of mental health working with children, teens and adults, my ultimate goal has always been to empower my clients to go and be well in their lives. This isn't just a passion; it's deeply personal to me. In my life and in my work, pain, illness, grief and loss have been steady teachers. I deeply empathize with the courage it takes to seek support and resources, and offer my endless respect to those who take that step. It is also brave + bold to engage the work that will take you to the next level in whatever it is you are after. Years of training, education, dedicated research and practice have led me to curate a comprehensive, yet practical mental toolbox for clients who are ready for transformation.

I’ve got the heart of a therapist + a neurodivergent mind with the passion + playbook of a coach.

I’m also a very proud mom of two amazing teenagers. We still like each other (most days) and I find that incredibly rare and rewarding! My husband and I have certainly learned a few things over the years, like how gifted children really do know more than their parents. We also never knew the word neurodiversity and how special it would be to witness what therapist Whitney Herrmann says is “how much glory is packed into gifted + neurodivergent children.” We’ve also navigated (more times than we’d like) how to support our young athlete in his recoveries from injuries and surgeries. He’s taught us adversity + character is a simple equation that produces more goodness and wholeness if we let it. Our life is messy + wonderful, just like yours. I’m honored to come alongside others on their parenting journey.

My professional experience includes serving as a licensed school counselor in both public and private schools, and as a mental health therapist and coach in private practice. My clients include high performing student athletes of all ages, neurodiverse kids and families, and those struggling to find hope in their challenges with mental health. I’m a proud partner of The Clarity Group located in Castle Pines, Colorado where I offer in person and virtual therapy and coaching services, and am the co-author of The Family Strong Blueprint, a resource filled with tools and strategies to support the parent and teen relationship. I’m also the creator of Wonder & Awe: A Constellation Model of Parenting Neurodiverse & Gifted Kids©. Clients who engage this work become Parent Powerhouses, equipped with essential skills to build what matter most, and have the courage to live it out. It’s the intentional framework we all wish would have had when we started our families. The great news is that it’s never too late to invest in the work. I’m ready when you are.
