Our story
We’ve always mailed each other postcards, sometimes from trips, sometimes from home, sometimes containing study questions, sometimes of artists we love, and sometimes sending five postcards as a letter that doesn’t arrive all at once.
Postcards are snapshots of a moment in time. They are both a metaphor for and a means of capturing and documenting where you’re at in this moment. They also distill experiences into essence, giving us insight into what’s most notable about the current moment, and elucidating how the experience will stay with us. Unlike letters, postcards are open and exposed, offering a glimpse into the sender’s life without concealment.
When we were thinking about what to name our practice, Postcards from You aligned with our shared vision of the work we want to do: to learn from you what’s on your mind and in your heart, and to creatively engage in conversations to help support you where you’re at in this moment.

In the Spirit of Collaboration
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Colorado) with a passion for working with visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, and designers. I am an artist who believes that creative expression can be a way to engage the healing process and help us make meaning in this tumultuous world. I also believe in the power of experiencing diverse forms of art and culture, created by other artists, as a kind of medicine. Both the creative process and the therapy process have the potential to foster empowerment, compassion, and transformation.
I received my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, my MFA in Visual Art from Rutgers University, and my BFA in Visual Studies from Iowa State University. Before I became a counselor I spent fifteen years teaching studio art and cultural studies courses at colleges and universities across the United States. As an artist, writer, former academic, and mental health counselor, I have dedicated my life to creating connection and depth in relationships.
In my counseling practice I draw on psychodynamic, humanistic, and trauma-informed approaches to therapy, paired with creative and poetic strategies. Existential and feminist perspectives in therapy guide me in conversation with my clients, too. Looking through a holistic lens—contexts, systems, identities, experiences—always informs the work. I am awed by the expansiveness of the human experience, including the traumas and the joys, and I celebrate the curiosity and strength that is an innate part of the therapeutic process with all my clients.
From my own lived experience as an artist, and my deep connections with many brilliant artists and creative communities, I bring a nuanced understanding to the conversation that is talk therapy with my clients who identify as artists. As a highly sensitive person and as someone who identifies as neurodiverse (with a later-in-life awareness and understanding of my ADHD brain), I show up with compassion and curiosity. And, as someone who has wandered far and wide (geographically and philosophically) with the intention of finding purpose and making meaning, I love to support clients who are also finding their way through the labyrinth to alignment with their inner knowing and the communities they live in.
It is an honor and privilege to work in collaboration with those doing the deep work of self-discovery for both personal and collective healing.

To Be with You As You Are
I love stories and believe our internal worlds are full of illuminating material that can guide us in having more meaningful lives. This belief led me to write and study poetry. I also love learning new things and thinking about concepts and ideas with other people, so the space of the classroom has always felt exciting to me. In 2005, I received a Bachelor's degree in Literature from the University of Central Missouri. I then went on to study poetry at the Washington University in St. Louis and earned a Masters of Fine Arts in 2007. In 2008, I moved to Colorado to pursue a PhD in English at the University of Denver. I have continued to teach full time since finishing that program in 2012, and in 2022, I returned to school and entered the Professional Mental Health Counseling program at Lewis & Clark College, focusing on addiction studies. I graduated from L&C in 2025 and am currently an associate licensed counselor in the state of Oregon.
I love hearing people’s stories and facilitating spaces in which they can explore their stories with more depth. I’ve always been interested in why people are the way they are, and I’ve always been open to and accepting of people’s autonomy, understanding that each person’s life journey looks different and that there isn’t a right or wrong way to move through life. I think of counseling as an opportunity for understanding. It’s a space in which you can be in conversation with yourself about what’s meaningful to you and what is and isn’t working in your life. It’s a space to be honest with yourself about what you want your life to look like and what gives your life purpose. I see my role as a counselor as someone who facilitates these important conversations you’re having with yourself. I am there to offer unconditional support and reflect back to you what I hear you saying. Some of the therapy modalities I employ are Person-Centered, Narrative, Existential, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
We will work together in exploring your story and considering the ways you think about and language your experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative process, one in which we reflect on your values and beliefs and how those shape your world view. Finding and making meaning is, to me, a communal experience, one that deeply considers your social locations and multiple identities, especially within dominant cultural narratives. How events in your life and the environments in which you’ve existed shape the way you see things will be part of our work together.
“Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art.”
