I would be happy to help you move forward in your life. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have a M.A. in Counseling and also a Master of Divinity degree, but I never superimpose my beliefs or convictions on anyone else, because that is not ethical. My aim is to help individuals and couples move forward in life in a consistent manner with their particular goals and values and convictions. As for experience, I have the least experience working with LGBTQ clients. For licensure I have the LPC, and for certification I have the CADC. As such, I am able to help individuals with issues of depression, severe anxiety, major life changes and losses, substance abuse issues, relationship issues, learning to be assertive and to have boundaries, closure for trauma and abuse, and helping individuals create a strategy for finding an ideal career. I draw on several different treatment approaches, but my foundation is the Cognitive-Behavioral approach, because it is proven that guarding the thoughts, avoiding assumptions, and learning to pause and reflect rather than just reacting is what helps people the most to be at peace with themselves, and to better handle the stressors that life throws at us. I look forward to working with you. Mostly I work with clients in the United States and Canada. But I am uniquely placed so that I can easily work with clients in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe and the UK. So let's get going, and let's start working on what's most important to you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Starting counseling can feel like a big step—especially when life looks fine on the outside but feels overwhelming, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through change, growth, and difficult seasons of life. My background includes advanced graduate training in both psychotherapy and family systems, along with experience in corporate settings, education, and higher education—giving me a broad understanding of how personal wellbeing, relationships, work, identity, and life transitions intersect. Clients often tell me that they feel deeply heard in our work together—that I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help them organize thoughts and emotions in ways that bring clarity and movement. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I integrate insight-oriented work with evidence-based approaches including cognitive and relational therapies, attachment-informed perspectives, emotion-focused work, strengths-based counseling, and solution-focused strategies. Therapy with me is not about judgment or quick fixes—it is about helping you better understand yourself and make meaningful, sustainable changes. I especially enjoy working with adults and couples navigating: • Life transitions and identity shifts • Women’s health, perimenopause, and menopause • Relationship challenges and couple dynamics • Parenting, adoption, and changing family roles • Career exploration, career transitions, and returning to work • Workplace stress, burnout, and professional identity • ADHD in adults, parents, and women • Midlife reinvention and empty nest transitions • Moving, relocation, and rebuilding community • Military families and military life transitions (non-combat/PTSD focused) • International, multicultural, and expat experiences • Spanish-speaking clients I also offer support around career development and professional transitions, helping clients explore next steps with intention and confidence while staying grounded in counseling rather than coaching alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines warmth, experience, thoughtful insight, and practical support, I would be honored to work with you.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Colorado (CO). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.
