Naropa Community Counseling

In my final year at Regis University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, I feel grateful and honored to get to work with Boulder’s community members at NCC. Being neurodivergent and a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I love working with members of these communities. I am here to meet you on a soul, human level and walk alongside you on your journey, holding a lantern up as you lead the way, navigating this landscape with curiosity and compassion.

Often, we have an intellectualizing part of ourselves that tells us what we “should” think, feel, and do, but noticing thoughts, tending to feelings, and acting in alignment with values comes from developing the capacity to experience safety and resilience in the body. Sometimes it doesn’t feel safe to be safe or it doesn’t feel okay to be okay. By approaching these parts of self, that are scared, protective, and sometimes extreme, with compassion and creativity, we can develop a more harmonious and secure relationship with ourselves and build capacity for safety and resilience. I practice with a social-justice, trauma informed approach and utilize experiential, somatic, IFS/parts work, and creative approaches as mediums for discovery, processing, and expression of your story, grief, love, anger, and trauma.
