Peak Performance and Wellness · Grand Junction, CO
Performance-oriented psychotherapy.
I sometimes describe my role as a personal trainer for mental health. Therapy is a place to work on injury and distress, and the work doesn't have to end when symptoms ease. For many people, the next question is what they want to build with the capacity they've regained.

How I work
My clinical work is grounded in the idea that mental health is more than the reduction of symptoms. Effective therapy should help people heal from what has happened, develop the capacity to thrive, perform in the areas of life that matter to them, and build changes that last.
I work extensively with trauma, stress, life transitions and performance concerns. My approach uses evidence-based, trauma-informed methods, including EMDR, while helping clients understand the patterns and conditions shaping their behavior. Treatment is built around the person rather than a single model, with an emphasis on practical skills, psychological flexibility, resilience and lasting change.
