About My Clients
If you've spent years figuring yourself out and still feel stuck, you're not alone. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who have done the work and can't understand why nothing has shifted. Maybe you are neurodiverse (like me!) ADHD, self identified autistic, or just got a diagnosis that reframed their entire history. Others are navigating divorce, sitting on creative work they can't bring themselves to share, or carrying a quiet grief about the world they live in.
My Background and Approach
I'm an Internal Family Systems Practitioner trained through all three levels of the IFS Institute, with additional training in neurodivergent-affirming approaches. I've been practicing for over five years, working exclusively via telehealth with adults in Colorado. My approach is built on a simple premise: real change means you don't have to rely on willpower. When the internal conditions shift — when the parts of you running old protective patterns no longer need to — behavior changes without forcing it. That shift almost always involves working with chronic shame, which is the underlying driver of most of what brings people to therapy: anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship rupture, and the feeling of being fundamentally unacceptable. In session I'm direct, engaged, and genuinely curious. I take your nervous system seriously. I'm not a good fit for clients looking primarily for symptom management or coping tools — the work here has a direction.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm autistic and have ADHD, which shapes both how I practice and who I'm drawn to work with. I came to therapy through climate science — I have a graduate degree in atmospheric science and spent years researching how people respond to risk. What I kept finding was that information alone rarely changes behavior, which turned out to be exactly the right question to bring into a therapy practice. I believe therapy should be honest about what it can and can't do. I believe neurodivergent people are not broken versions of neurotypical people. I believe climate grief is rational, not pathological. I believe chronic shame is one of the most underaddressed drivers of human suffering, and that the people most skilled at masking it are often the ones who need the most careful attention. Outside of private practice, I train and mentor IFS practitioners through IFS Healers, an online learning community I co-founded.
