Greetings! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado for the past 20+ years. I earned a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 1996 and have over 27 years of counseling experience. I worked in a variety of clinical settings with a diverse population dealing with many different conditions and difficulties before establishing my private practice in in 2008. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, stress management and relationship issues. My belief is that all humans have the innate potential to heal, change and grow. But sometimes knowing where and how to begin can be a challenge. There is an intricate mind/body connection and often people experience physical manifestations from mental/emotional stress and dis-ease. My objective is to help bring back balance and harmony to the whole person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My approach is collaborative, integrative, and holistic. I want to partner with you to find the solutions to whatever issues bring you to therapy at this time. I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, goals, and desired outcomes. I will work to help you recognize and enhance your strengths as well as help you develop skills to navigate life with more resilience and flexibility to enhance the quality and experience of your life. My approach is informed by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Energy Psychology including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Change is Inevitable~ Growth is Intentional~

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect. I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations. Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation. A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.

I believe that the things we have been through do not have to be in vain. I became a therapist because I wanted to use my own experiences to help others strive, not only to survive but to thrive after horrendous events. During an internship opportunity in my Master's degree program, I found that I as a survivor, as well as a professional, became incredibly empowered and motivated to embark upon social change. I have seen immense healing in so many areas of my career thus far and it just keeps growing. That was only the beginning of that realization of the potential we all have for healing within. Since this start, my vision has expanded and the experience I’ve gained in treating people with an eclectic approach. I always meet my clients where they are and include them in their treatment as experts on themselves. I’m looking forward to working with you on improving your quality of life!

Many of the clients I work with come to therapy carrying challenges that are rooted in relationships—past or present. While trauma can occur in many ways, it most often develops within the context of our connections with others. My ideal clients are those who sense that their life isn’t where they want it to be, even if they can’t yet identify the “how” or “why.” The beliefs they’ve developed about their experiences can lead to distorted views of themselves and their worth, making it difficult to form the deep, meaningful relationships they desire. In our work together, my first goal is to build the trust and rapport needed for a genuine therapeutic relationship. From there, I’ll help you identify what needs to change and support you in taking the steps necessary to create that change—while also holding you accountable in a compassionate, encouraging way. Many people are used to mistaking criticism for motivation, especially from themselves, but that pattern can shift. I truly love what I do, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can feel grounded, safe, and fully yourself. Together, we’ll address the work ahead in a way that feels both manageable and empowering. If you’re ready to begin your path toward healing, I’m ready to walk that journey with you. I look forward to meeting you and getting started.

Hi there and welcome. I specialize in trauma, addiction, spiritual emergence and emergency, relationship issues, and chronic stress/anxiety. I'm passionate about helping people in dynamic life situations find stability, calm, and confidence. I operate from an assumption that you are inherently whole and seek to key in on both what's causing you pain and suffering, as well as the unique gifts and resilience that you bring to your life and to your healing. I provide attachment-based, neurobiologically-informed, and systems-oriented frameworks for people to understand how what they are experiencing is rooted in their history, nervous systems, and nested life contexts. I'm highly experiential in my approach. I know how important it is to talk through what's happening, but I also know how vital it is to slow down, drop out of the mind and into the body, and feel what's here with warm, attuned support--in this case, that's me! I believe we all need one another and that no one should have to walk their healing and awakening paths alone. Let's journey together.
