I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years. I have helped survivors of abuse and domestic violence, the LBGQT community, and adolescents. I primarily incorporate CBT but that is not the only theory I use. It depends on the needs of my clients. Currently I’m only doing tele sessions. My clients range from adolescence to adult. Most of my current clients are experiencing anxiety or depression My goal as a counselor is to help individuals reach their full potential to lead productive successful lives based on their needs and desires

People have an inherent need to be understood and tell their story in order to live the life they imagine. My job as therapist is to listen, and learn from you and guide you toward better self-care, and to make the changes necessary to look inside yourself to see what might be holding you back from living a full happy life. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe often times the things which keep us from moving forward are in our environment, such as toxic relationships, poverty, lack of education, drugs and alcohol, and past traumas.

*** Now accepting new clients *** Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. I believe therapy can provide meaningful exploration of your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being in order for you to navigate these issues. Whether it is stress from work, relationships, issues related to school, or anxiety from your environment, I will assist you in processing those issues while strengthening your esteem and perspective.

WHY HORSES? Often times we feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, how to cope, how to communicate, or how to connect. Horses provide the opportunity for humans to explore and discover their abilities to do all of those things by providing authentic bio-feedback. The truth is, horses don’t lie! In providing bio-feedback, human partners become self -aware, as well as identify ways to cultivate a meaningful, empathic, and reciprocal relationship, become more mindful, regulate where needed, and eventually create healthier thought and behavior patterns.

Many people suffer from chronic or acute pain, believe me I know! ( for 3 years). I tried PT, Chiropractic, pain management, medication and injections, acupuncture, dry needling and more, even surgery. I finally got some relief with surgery and then with myofascial release and trigger point release. My first goal was to be able to tie my own shoes, then go up and down the stairs like an adult instead of a toddler, be pain free, increase ROM and strength, and get back to enjoying my life , back to being me. Let's get you back to being you!

Finally, we offer trauma-focused equine-assisted psychotherapy. We have found that horses & people can help each other heal beautifully.

Kids face all sorts of pressures, choices, challenges, and traumas in our culture today that affect the way they connect and engage with their worlds around them. It can look like anxiety, depression, behavioral acting out, emotional walling-off, etc. I work with children and families to investigate and discover what's needed to repair and rebuild the damaged or broken pieces that affect kids day to day. As a parent, you're hoping for ways to help understand what your child is going through and learn more effective ways of supporting them through the hard places so that your family can find its sense of peace, love, and connection.

Therapy is a journey and lived experience. The connection, empowerment, and shifts I get to be apart of are what keep me motivated and striving to be the therapist that I am.

Should you invite me on your journey, I hope to help you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Hey there! However you got here, I'm glad you're here. It can be incredibly daunting to search through a bunch of profiles to find a therapist (I get it, I've been there!). Given therapy is intended to be a safe space for exploration of unspoken emotions, aspects of identity, relational challenges, and inner strengths, it's so important you find a therapist with whom you connect. Did you know that the relationship you have with your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of having a positive outcome in therapy? Let's see if we're a good fit!

Moving to Colorado and immersing myself in the mountains has taught me so much about life, about myself, and became the inspiration for my practice: Mountains of Change.

Although I believe we all have within us exactly what we need to face these moments, we often need a little extra support.

I understand what it feels like to be burnt out on life and have everything start to feel like it’s just “too much.” You may be asking yourself questions like, “Why doesn’t anyone else understand how hard this has been for me?”, “Where is the support that I thought I would have?”, “Why am I so confused and frustrated with my life?”, and “Why do I feel so stuck?” Maybe you feel like your relationships are struggling or your work performance is lacking. You’ve finally hit the breaking point and have started exploring ways to get the support you need...

We are not free to decide if struggle will enter our lives. But we are free to decide how we respond to it. I have had over 30 years of experience assisting individuals and couples taking the raw material of pain and struggle and turning it into an opportunity for growth and change. If you are depressed, anxious, experiencing loss or transition; if you are feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner, your relationship is not a safe haven,or old wounds remain unforgiven, take the first step in the change process by setting an appointment for individual or couple counseling.

Do you struggle with a sense of failure?...An avoidance of being yourself for fear of rejection or criticism?...Are you anxious or sad and overwhelmed?... Inner struggles often result in outward stress and confusion in relationships, parenting, work or school performance, and life enjoyment. It's time for you to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and worry. Therapy can help you feel better about yourself and your relationships, while also providing effective tools for handling challenges. You deserve a fulfilling life that includes feeling good about yourself and enjoying your important relationships.

Welcome to my psychoanalytic practice! I work well with people who are self-reflective, curious, and who want to make improvements in their relationships, and overall sense of well-being. Our minds have a huge influence on how we think and feel each day; slowing down and noticing subtle aspects of ourselves with a trained analyst can provide much needed integration of powerful emotions that have not yet had a voice for expression. Sometimes people can articulate emotions without feeling them, and other times emotions are experienced in the body and do not have words. Integrating feelings and thoughts vitalizes human life.

I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life.

I believe every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couples, or family therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.
