"Children experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression and other challenges communicate with us through their behaviors. I specialize in helping parents and children understand the meaning and purpose behind those behaviors. I help children build the resiliency they need to overcome past challenges and thrive at home, in school and in their communities. I also help parents/caregivers build the skills and strategies necessary to guide children through difficult circumstances and achieve a more positive future."

"Although you’ve tried your best to shake it, you can’t get over the feeling that life could be much better than it is. You’re stressed, overwhelmed, and burned out of a life that is moving way too fast. Maybe this was ok when you were in your 20’s- but now you are at a stage of life where you crave more peace and wellbeing. Instead, you are left feeling angry, tense, and in pain. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, or loss. Maybe you’re not sure where to start. "

"My office is located in Downtown Colorado Springs. I do not consider myself the average therapist because I do not sit around and say "Hmm, tell me more". Instead, I take a very assertive style and want to make changes in your life as quickly and effectively as possible. ."

My goal is to make an environment for you to feel comfortable and safe; enabling you to be willing to try to seek support."

"The Bristlecone Pine is a highly resilient & long-living pine tree, capable of tolerating difficult environments that other trees cannot withstand, surviving dry spells by allowing parts of itself to die and shedding its bark which creates the unique look that Bristlecone Pines are known for. However, life can still be found in the small patches of green pine needles growing in the middle of seemingly dead wood. Bristlecone Family Counseling is a place where you can learn how to rely on your resilience, strength, & endurance - like the Bristlecone Pine tree - while entering into recovery."

"Growing up in a diverse family, I found myself drawing meaning and values from many places. I was taught to see beauty and strength in the midst of great difficulty. A tree growing from a stone is as beautiful to me as murals in impoverished neighborhoods and the strengths of those creating and loving in lives full of struggles. People seeking support or change should have a place they are welcome to bring their issues, needs, fears and dreams. I'm here to help with relationships, self esteem, spirituality, integrated well being, school, work, transitions, loss, behaviors, parenting, and other issues."

"In my therapeutic work, I endeavor to create an environment that allows my clients to center-out, to breathe, to explore, to undertake, to dare, to dream, to change course, and to reconnect. As a would-be-adventurer with a penchant for curiosities and the unknown, I look forward to embarking on uncharted paths with my clients. In journeying alongside my client, my hope is that upon reaching the trailhead of their path, they're able to look around and exclaim "everything is in its right place.""

"Maybe you're an individual, a family or a couple. Maybe this is your first time looking up a therapist. Or maybe you've gone to therapy already and haven't found the progress you were looking for. That can be the trouble with therapists who only practice one theory - they stick to that theory just as tightly as we stick to the unhealthy systems which we developed in. Sometimes as both clients and therapists, we must step outside of the box of comfort we operate in so that we might experience real and effective change. "

"Are you worried that your child has a potential learning disability, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, or Autism Spectrum Disorder? Are you concerned about developmental delays?

Do they struggle with addictions or other behavioral problems? A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation will help your child achieve their potential.

Clear solutions including recommendations for home and school will be provided."

"I want to invite you to awaken to the life you were created for...filled with hope, healing and freedom to live the Bigger Story. When we go through difficult times, it is so easy for our hearts to simply go to "sleep" to protect ourselves from further pain and disappointment. Sometimes it can be challenging to know how to break out of the ways our hearts have opted for the status quo. With 28 years of counseling experience and a passion to see hearts awakened, I offer to come alongside those who are sincerely hungry for true transformation."
