As a licensed Denver psychologist with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, I specialize in integrating mindfulness and Buddhist psychology with Western therapeutic techniques. My practice focuses on helping clients overcome anxiety, stress, and dissatisfaction through personalized therapy that emphasizes self-compassion and values alignment. With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver and advanced training in mindfulness-based therapies, I provide evidence-based care tailored to individual needs.My approach combines cognitive therapy, neuroscience, and experiential exercises to address both practical and existential challenges. I have supported healthcare professionals in navigating career burnout and guided clients toward spiritual growth through meditation practices. My work as a sangha guide for the Insight Meditation Community of Colorado reinforces my commitment to mindful living. I offer online sessions that include skills training, meditations, and personalized readings to foster long-term well-being.
