I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking personal growth and relationship enhancement and to help them identify their unique strengths and talents. I seek to create the safety of a mutually satisfying relationship whereby clients feel empowered and energized to live their "best" life. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches which focus on clients unique experiences, feelings, and perspectives and which value each client's capacity for self-healing and positive change. I value learning about clients' experiences. I use a gentle sense of humor combined with compassion and empathy to support emotional growth.
I have experience in helping clients in dealing with stress, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, life transitions and caregiving. I have a passion for diversity, equity and inclusion and supporting a wide array of clients.
Pursuing therapy is a big step towards mental health wellness. I would be happy to meet with you to answer questions to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. I am based in Denver, CO and meet with clients throughout Colorado. I am here to support and empower you on your journey towards emotional health and well-being. I wish you the best on this journey!
