I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Colorado with over 14 years of experience, currently working as a Clinician/Therapist at an inpatient substance abuse recovery center. I also have experience as supervisor who managed a team of mental health therapists and a psycho-therapeutic counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, military related issues and trauma (TBI and PTSD) and substance abuse related issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), both as a therapist and a supervisor of TFCBT therapists. Additionally, I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Advanced Solution Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
My counseling style is warm, non-judgmental and compassionate. I believe in treating you with respect, honesty, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
