About
I am not here for you so I can relive my own traumas.
I am here for you because I have resolved and healed through the traumas of divorce and the death of people I love.
I am here to offer you a way to make sense of what happened.
I am here to show you how to begin to understand yourself and this life.
Begin to feel centered and safe.
One of the major themes in my healing was learning to listen to and trust myself.
I took chances and leaps of faith that every modality and healing experience contributed to me understanding who I AM.
When you gather new information about yourself and your life you begin to feel centered and safe, even with the pain of loss.
Weaving new life stories.
Losing someone I loved was devastating in different ways.
It challenged me to understand the impact of my behaviors and decisions throughout my life.
I have been grateful to weave new stories about who I really am and who I am becoming.
My hope is that however your healing path looks, you become grateful for all that has come to pass.
About Me
Being human takes courage.
In 2014, I was getting ready to graduate with a Master’s in Somatic Counseling Psychology. During preparation for delivering a thesis, my then-husband declared that he was leaving our marriage. That would be my third divorce.
Divorce has been an excellent catalyst for discovering who I am and how to thrive authentically. It allowed me to dive deeply and explore my life and how I felt about myself. Through therapy, mother nature, and several other modalities (writing, art, kundalini yoga, meditation), I discovered much about myself and learned to empower myself with compassion rather than judgment.
I offer this same empowerment and compassion for your journey with relationships and endings.
The loss of people I love because of death, created a new depth with the grief process. That depth, that trauma, has lead me to the greatest treasure of understanding who I am and that we all eventually face losing people we love.
When my 19 year old nephew was killed in 2011 while serving as an Army Medic in Afghanistan, it was a shockwave that opened the gateway to feeling great loss.
Then in 2019 my Father transitioned from this World and that completely destabilized my life. My Mother’s decline after his departure was life altering on every level. She transitioned in 2022.
All this has lead me to explore the many layers of my relationships within my family system and how that extends to the greater World. I truly believe it is all connected. One major traumatic loss can you lead you down a path of deeper understanding and healing for yourself.
I have gathered education and wisdom from a few places.
An MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, Boulder, Colorado, in 2014.
I have been working in divorce, relationships and the grief of loss for about 15 years. This time includes five years working as a Divorce Mediator and Instructor here in Colorado.
Other trainings include: Somatic Attachment Therapy, Sound Therapy, Mediation, Gestalt Therapy, Reiki, and Kundalini Yoga Teaching to name a few.
The wisdom of allowing exploration and knowing what I need next, in order to thrive, has served me well.
When I’m not hanging out with you…
I am with my life partner, Brian, his kids, dear friends and Ketu, the Tibetan Terrier who likes to bark.
To be centered and grounded hiking, snowshoeing and being on a river are a must. I hiked my first 14-er a couple years ago and am looking forward to another inspiring challenge. Just like life, it’s an epic journey!
I also cherish my daily practices with Kaiut Yoga, meditation, oracle divination, journaling, and walking the dog. Nature, sound frequency and Brian are my best medicines 🙂
