Has the COVID-19 create anxieties or other mental health challenges for you? Do you need a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings? I am a licensed clinician, who would love to be able to meet 1:1 with you to address your mental health needs. I truly believe in shared decision-making approach to therapy. I approach therapy from a collaborative approach, building relationships, and using evidence-based practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work as well as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I’ve been working in behavioral health since 2003. I have experience in providing individual, group, and family counseling. I have been trained in CBT Therapy, ACT Therapy, DBT Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focus therapy, harm reduction model, Gestalt therapy, and other evidence-based model. Preference: I prefer to work with adults ages 19 and above. I help people with dealing with all types of transitioning, life stressors brought on by relocating, career changes, new mothers, balancing work and life, relationships building, grief and loss, and setting boundaries.

I have been providing clinical mental health therapy for over five years. Throughout this time, I have had the opportunity of working with a wide variety of people from all ages and stages of life. I provide diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, case management and collaboration with the client, outside agencies, and other medical providers, if and when needed. Modalities I use mostly include TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and experiential therapies such as play, sand and art therapy. Through my work as a helper, I have developed specialized skills in emotion regulation, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, behavioral management, anger management and suicide prevention and intervention. I enjoy helping others and look forward to helping you find the best possible course of action to the difficulties you face. Prior to working as a clinical therapist, I worked as a school counselor for children in grades K-8. Through this role, I provided guidance lessons on empathy, impulse control, anger management, conflict resolution, and character education. I worked with general education students as well as those children within the RTI/MTSS, Tier 2 and 3. I also worked closely with special education staff in providing behavioral therapy and social work minutes to students with IEP's and 504 Accommodations Plans. Outside of the therapy room, I am a wife of 25 years, a mother of four amazing young adults, and a grandma of two littles who call me "Nana." I enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, kayaking and anything outdoors. I love to go thrift shopping and am an avid adventure seeker. I enjoy singing, dancing, playing the piano, listening to all types of music, play board/card games, and spending time with family and friends.

I have been a career clinical social worker for 40 years. I have chosen to be a counselor my entire professional, adult life, because I love it! I have done this in multiple states across America, Hawaii and Canada. I am curious and driven to expand my skills and knowledge, and be a change agent for my clients. I want my skills to be fresh and relevant in a changing social landscape. To me, there no distractions when I am engaged with my clients. I am as fully attuned to my client as I can be and want nothing more than for my client's success and resolution of their problems, and the things in their life that are painful or self-defeating. I have a Bachelor's and Masters degree in Clinical Social Work. I attended universities in Colorado. I think I can best help clients who want to do the hard work, look at themselves and with my support and guidance, make real changes in their life that move them toward their authentic selves. Clients who embrace non-judgmental feedback will be comfortable with me. Clients who have repeated self-defeating behaviors will find me patient and tolerant of their struggles. Clients who understand that humor is a tool to heal will be comfortable with me. I think mental health is something that we groom. Finally, working with a motivated client and reaching those moments of confidence and calm together is a satisfaction like no other. I believe all people who are suffering have the seeds within them to solve their own problems. Sometimes we just need a partner in that journey . Sometimes, we just want to talk to someone who will listen to us!

My approach to counseling is often didactic and is solution oriented. It is my opinion that clients come to counseling because they can not figure out what to do. So “teaching counseling” offers them new skills to use in their situation, as well as ideas to assist in coping in their world. I am somewhat eclectic in my approaches, realizing that everyone is unique, and one size does NOT fit all. I find a Cognitive Behavioral approach often encourages clients to set their own solution-focused path. I give feedback and assign homework tasks. I ask clients to join me in making a sort of treatment plan, and we work together on problem-solving. I periodically consult with trusted professional colleagues on a confidential bases, who practice outside of our local area. It is not my style to see what others have reported about their own work. I march to my own drummer and do what I believe is right in each situation. It’s fine with me if I am the only one doing it the way I do it.
