I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) specializing in chronic pain, trauma, and mind-body symptoms. My work focuses on helping clients shift patterns in the nervous system that keep symptoms like pain, anxiety, and overwhelm stuck in place.

I have Master-level training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and integrate it with somatic and mindfulness-based approaches. I also draw from EMDR and ACT to support both immediate symptom relief and longer-term change. I have done further pain trainings with Howard Schubiner including Beyond Pain Education, Freedom From Chronic Pain, and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET).

My background includes a Master's degree in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and a Master's in mindfulness-based counseling, which both inform my focus on present-moment awareness and working directly with lived experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I teach at the graduate level on mindfulness and counseling, as well being a clinical supervisor for beginning therapists.

I work with adults via telehealth across Colorado as a mental health clinician and worldwide as a pain and health coach.
