"Resilience is based on being able to accept ambiguity and find hope amid uncertain conditions." This notion, shared by Dr. Pauline Boss, is one that is central to my clinical practice. We all have points in our lives when stress, change, or loss, may leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of what lies ahead. The opportunity to warmly welcome clients into my office to re-gain their center, tap into internal resources, and nurture the development of new strategies is one I welcome ...

Starting college is a considerable milestone in a person’s life; it is both exciting and frightening for students and parents. I have formally worked in college health for over eight years at the University of Colorado Boulder and enjoy working with young people, undergraduates and graduate students alike, at this point in their lives. I love seeing their growth and being able to help guide them through difficult times. I can help with evaluations, medications, and general guidance specific to t...

"Finding that there is more to life, beyond food and fear" . . . is the heart of my therapeutic philosophy. Most of my clients live in fear around how much food they eat . . . or do not eat. Their relationship with food has devolved into one of pain and hiding versus pleasure and health. I use a Gestalt approach which gives voice to a person’s two conflicting parts: the part wanting to hold onto the old, comfortable eating patterns and their "benefits", and the part yearning to let go for p...
