Psychotherapy
How I can Help:
After working with me people are finding their passion again. They’re feeling calm and focused, undistracted. They enjoy performing and just being real. They’re also able to focus on other parts of themselves – and feel fully human. They feel freedom. They feel confident. They feel sure of themselves. They feel relief.
What does therapy look like?
Our first session would be an information gathering meeting, I ask a lot of questions, so I have a good understanding of your background and goals of therapy. We work collaboratively to create a plan of action. Often, we have action items to do outside of therapy so you can progress on a daily basis. This may be a worksheet, a reading, journaling or even trying something new and challenging.
How long does therapy last?
Therapy can be short as a session or two, or sometimes over a year depending on your needs and goals. Ultimately, I am here to help you reach your goals in therapy.
What modalities of therapy do you use?
I love to use acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy which I found both work well with athletes. Both modalities have been well researched and are evidence based. I am also person-centered and relationship focused, I start where you are, I don’t have an agenda other than to help and serve you. Rapport and connection are key, that’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit if we’re not a good fit I will refer you to someone who hopefully will be.

Who I work with:
I work with ages sixteen on up residing in Colorado. Many people I’ve worked with are endurance and mountain athletes: runners, cyclists, triathletes, mountain bikers, skiers, rock-climbers, mountaineers, and adventurers. They are also outdoor educators and ski-patrolers. Many have full-time jobs or are in school. They are high-school, recreational, competitive and professional athletes.
But they are so much more than athletes. They’re good people struggling with an injury that’s brought them down. They’ve felt panic, sadness, and anxiety push and pull them around. They’re concerned what their friends, family and coaches think of them. They’ve experienced losses and unbearable sadness. They’ve come to the end of their careers in sport and feel empty. They’re struggling with their family seeing them for who they are inside.
