"When something in your life isn't working, when everything that usually keeps you going isn't enough, therapy can help. As a counselor, I seek to build a compassionate, safe, therapeutic relationship with you, so that we can work together to explore what's happening in your life, discover meaning in the struggle, and find what you need to grow."

"Do you, your child, or your family suffer from trauma, grief/loss, depression/anxiety, or disturbing memories? I would be honored to join with you on your journey toward healing by together, developing a deeper awareness of life’s issues, teach how to be mindful and live in the present moment, learn ways to creatively resolve conflict, establish effective coping skills, and move beyond all forms of trauma. I would love the opportunity to show you how strength based holistic counseling can help remove barriers to healing and move towards Inner Peace. I look forward to healing from you."

"I have the intrinsic belief in the ability of psychotherapy to transform lives! The curative power of being listened to and understood cannot be overestimated. It is the foundation upon which all change occurs. I have witnessed psychotherapy help individuals develop self-acceptance and self-esteem by removing obstacles which previously interfered with building and maintaining meaningful relationships. My first goal in the therapeutic process is to create a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. Through active exploration, it is my hope that you will uncover insight and gain understanding into the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that will empower and support you in transforming your life."

"My approach to counseling is one which is collaborative and reflective; you and I will work together to explore your emotions, thoughts, beliefs and unique life experiences. In this process, we will create a deeper understanding of your personal background, using it as a road map for increasing success in your present relationships, personal / career goals, and overall appreciation of, and compassion for, yourself. Many people experience fear when considering talking with someone about their past or current struggles. In my practice, I value a non-judgmental and open-minded approach to support clients' journey of healing."

"You want to wake up to a life worth living, but something is holding you back. You may know what it is, a traumatic experience or a childhood of abuse or neglect. Perhaps you just don't feel vital, motivated. You see others living adventurous lives, in the company of loving friends and family, and wonder...what do they know about life that I don't? You may have even tried standard "talk therapy," with little or limited success. That experience of being "stuck" and disconnected doesn't live only in your mind, but in your body...and it is when you begin to access these restrictions where they exist, in your body, that healing happens."

"Is pornography, cybersex, or sexual addiction impacting your life? Are you feeling alone, sexually rejected, or struggling with low desire in your relationship? Do you want more sexual and emotion intimacy? Are you concerned about your sexual identity or sexual functioning? It is common for people to encounter sexual problems, at any age. What is uncommon is for people to do something about those problems before they irreparably damage their self-esteem and relationships. Left unmanaged, anger, shame, and fear increase. The sooner you come in for help the better chance you have of growing a happy, healthy sexual life."

"I work with adolescents, adults, families, and members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) community. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy.

"Countless historic and current innovators have been or likely would have been diagnosed with autism spectrum conditions. Many successful people with these conditions believe it gives them unique advantages to problem solve they can use to overcome challenges.

"Are you or a family member experiencing a difficult time in your life or going through a difficult transition? I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience working with adults, couples and children who are going through a challenging time in their lives - divorce, loss of a family member, health issues, depression, anxiety. I work with clients to help them find the courage, skills, and resilience to keep going and make life worth living."

"I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to look at their issues and be willing to change. I feel the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort conducted in a safe and caring environment. The relationship between the therapist and the client is as important in the healing process as any techniques that are used. I feel it is important to empower individuals to go out and live a rich and fulfilling life. I certainly believe that it is a privilege and an honor to participate in helping people heal through their life's most challenging times."

"I am a compassionate, practical-minded, effective therapist who specializes in helping my clients get the RESULTS they want in a timely fashion.

I help my clients achieve healthy, active relationships with themselves and others, bringing individuals, families, and couples into greater harmony, peace, and abundance."

"My career began ten years ago at CeDAR (Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation) University of Colorado Hospital Aurora, CO .I facilitated twice monthly a psychoeducational model family week, weekly family support and recovering couples group. My work continues with private sessions with recovering addicts and their families or partners. The intensive work I do with couples as they began to recreate a life together in recovery is necessary to heal from the trauma created by the addiction. The healing of the attachment distress that each person has experienced due to the break in connection must be addressed as well."

"My 10+ years of experience working in diverse developmentally supportive, creative, and clinical environments has maintained my belief that it is through relationships that growth, healing, and self-awareness are most available. Too many youth find themselves isolated, confused, feeling unseen, and pushing away what might be most helpful; while parents are grappling with feelings of failure and intense overwhelm. Utilizing a trauma-informed lens, I work creatively with children, adolescents, teens and families to facilitate authentic individual and group expression, regulation, and promote secure attachments."

"It is my belief that finding the right therapist for YOU is the most important thing you can do. Working with young adults and their families is my specialty but my practice is open to anyone looking to grow, heal, and change. Is your child struggling to complete school or find employment? Has your marriage/relationship become challenging? Are you dealing with depression or anxiety that has become unmanageable? Are you a parent looking for support? Whatever life is throwing at you, I can help."
