The stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live.
Hi, Iām Deana
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself more deeply.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and trying hard to make sense of why they feel stuck. They may be navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected from the life they want to be living. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore those patterns with curiosity, and begin creating lasting change.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a journalist, writing for publications including Vice, Teen Vogue, Business Insider, and SELF. Journalism taught me the value of listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and appreciating that every person carries a story shaped by experiences, relationships, and resilience. Those lessons continue to guide my work today.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and engaged. I'll challenge you when it feels helpful, support you when things feel heavy, and create a space where you don't have to have everything figured out. Together, we'll work to understand what's keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and help you build a life that feels more authentic and aligned with who you are.
When I'm not in the therapy office, you'll usually find me on a trail in the Colorado mountains with my dog, reading a good book, spending time with my kids, or volunteering as a DJ at Boulder's community radio station, KGNU.
