Therapy is about you…

You’re here looking for help. For support. For some direction of how to feel better. I know how heavy and hard things have gotten if you are looking for a therapist. Something inside you KNOWS you can’t figure it out alone anymore.

I know the way. Me and my team are here to guide you back to joy and healing!

But it is important to learn more about me and see if I’m the kind of therapist you might be looking for!

My Journey to today’s vision…

I have been studying relationships since I was 18 years old as I began my undergraduate degree in Family Science. I also finished with minors in Couple and Family Therapy and Psychology.

This put me ahead of the game when I earned my Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy at Thomas Jefferson University in downtown Philadelphia. No better place to get a relationship degree than the City of Brotherly Love!

There I was trained by the Council for Relationships, pioneers in the field of relationship therapy and the first agency to ever offer Couples Therapy in the United States in 1932, as the Marriage Council. You can read more about that cool story here: https://councilforrelationships.org/history/

I specialized in Sex Therapy to ensure I had the skills to address any and all things that can come up in couples therapy!

From there, I practiced in-home family therapy in Philadelphia and earned a 3-year long certification in Structural Family Therapy. We helped children and their families break negative patterns and create more safety and love.

I moved to Colorado in 2014 and am licensed to practice as an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). Since coming here, I have had extensive specialized training in trauma therapy, EMDR and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I then deepened my training in trauma recovery through Psychedelic Guide Training with Medicinal Mindfulness in Boulder. I am moved by the power of plant medicine and breathwork to deepen the healing journey and provide recovery and trauma resolution.

On a personal note…

I live in the Highlands enjoying the perks of the city while escaping to the mountains to camp or hike on weekends.

To practice what I preach, I have a rich yoga practice over at Better Buzz Yoga, work out at F45 Highlands, and regularly go on mindfulness walks with my goldens, Pax and Kane. I like to journal most mornings with a cup of coffee.

Like most transplant Coloradans, I spend my time camping, hiking, brewery visiting, and finding any other excuse to sun worship outside.

Conscious Pathways Vision…

I expanded my personal practice into a group practice in 2023. Conscious Pathways was born to deliver high quality, holistic care to you, our clients. In each stage of my development, I saw what was lacking in treatment and care.

Folks lost in the shuffle, clients being just a number, talk therapy that didn’t improve anything. Even counselors providing mediocre, if not incompetent, couples therapy due to lack of training.

I am committed to seeing you as a whole person. Your mind (the mental in mental health) is just one aspect of your wholeness. Your heart and body deserve attention too.

Your emotional and physical health are all tied to mental health. When emotions aren’t processed well, we are seeing more and more how sick that can make us. Inflamed, stuck, chronically ill, lethargic, anxious.

We are remedying that. You will get excellent, attentive, personalized care at Conscious Pathways. We carry smaller caseloads so you will have our full attention. You can receive a range of care from talk therapy, breathwork, relationship learning, and even psychedelics therapies.

Let us help you- MIND, HEART, and BODY. Get the relief of not walking the path alone anymore. I know the way. My team knows the way. We can help you find relief, find love, and find yourself again.
