who I work with:
I help high level professionals, couples, and pregnant or postpartum moms to navigate your challenges with resilience and clarity, so you can prosper in your relationships both personally and professionally. You may be feeling unsatisfied with your relationship, or you have hit some road bumps in your communication with your partner. Common relationship challenges that I work with are communication issues, conflict management, child and baby stress, and emotional distance. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.
For individuals, trying to balance your job with your personal life can make you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and like you’re losing what is important to you. Or as a new mom you are feeling emotions you never thought you’d be having after your baby was born, such as depression, feeling lost or empty, or excessive anxiety that is burying you.
When your life balance and relationships are out of whack, you and your family are the ones that suffer. I can help you reset your priorities, explore the meaning behind challenges in your relationship, and get more control over yourself and your life. You got this!
how therapy With Me can help you:
With over two decades of experience, I offer a supportive and empowering environment where you (and your partner) can explore your concerns openly. Whether you're facing career pressures, relationship conflicts, or the unique stressors of pregnancy and new motherhood, my integrative approach combines evidence-based therapies tailored to your specific needs.
Lasting change requires commitment and hard work, but therapy can help guide your steps and offer different perspectives on your situation. Together, we'll identify your (and your relationship’s) strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and foster deeper connections, guiding you towards greater fulfillment and well-being in every aspect of your life. I will work with you to change negative or anxious thought patterns, and together we can bring balance and peace back into your life once again!
about me:
My own experiences as a longtime professional, counselor, and mother drive my therapy work and allow me to better understand your own unique circumstances. I am passionate about helping to forge better relationships, both within yourself and with your loved ones. For couples, I utilize Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and I have advanced training in perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, and grief.
My professional background includes working in community mental health in a variety of positions for over 15 years, and I’ve been the owner of Catalyss Counseling since 2014. After my first child I experienced postpartum mood changes resulting in uncontrolled anxiety and relationship challenges, so I understand the emotional roller-coaster after having a baby. My two children keep me balanced, humble, and always practicing patience. My stress relief is being outside or in the mountains, which helps me steady my emotions and remember my purpose in life.
I am licensed in both Colorado and Washington and can see clients living in either state.
