About this provider
Clients I Work With
I work with clients struggling with a range of challenges associated with fertility and pregnancy including infertility and IVF treatment, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, postpartum depression and anxiety as well as the adjustment to parenthood. I also work with individuals and caregivers coping with medical issues including such things as cancer and chronic illness. I treat individuals dealing with a variety of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, and OCD.
Lastly, I have a passion for working with medical providers often around stress and worklife balance and have a unique understanding having worked in medical settings and alongside medical providers most of my career in addition to growing up in family of medical providers.
Approach
I have an integrative and personalized approach to treatment, taking into account all aspects of a person’s wellbeing including social/emotional functioning and physical health.
I utilize evidence based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Based Interventions.
I believe people get just as much from what they do outside of our visits as they do from sessions, so I focus on things clients can work on in between our visits to get the most from treatment.
More About My Practice
I have been practicing for 20 years as a psychologist in Colorado.
