My clients describe me as warm, welcoming, genuine, empathetic, and using a soft directness to get to the heart of issues and create real change.

I am trained in cutting-edge and science-backed approaches. This means that my practice is backed by 50 years of research on the most effective communication skills to break relationships out of patterns of conflict and build connection.

Together, we will track your unique histories and viewpoints, develop a deep shared understanding of your pattern and each other, and learn the most effective, science-backed communication skills to move your relationship to a safe, intimate bond.

I specialize in couples and families who feel disconnected due to polarizations in their characteristics, including trauma history, personal needs, and other lived experiences that give rise to misunderstandings in relationships.

I feel extremely privileged to walk alongside you on your path toward healing and reconciliation as I witness and learn from your story.

My office is located in a cozy and calming space near old town Fort Collins. I also offer online appointments for anyone in Colorado.

Using a combination of concrete skills, emotion-focused techniques, and “cycle-breaking” activities, I help couples and families find a new way forward where all voices are heard and valued and healthy boundaries are co-created.
