I bring over 30 years of clinical experience to the work with individuals and couples. I provide a welcoming environment and work collaboratively with you to create a plan to meet your goals. I work most effectively with those who are curious about a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, those who want to take responsibility for their life, and those who want both experiential and practical skill-based approaches to healing and growth.

As a therapist I want to help you achieve the goals that you set. To accomplish this we will work together from a holistic perspective to get your mind, body, and spirit to the place you want them to be. I have a generalist practice and I feel comfortable with many different types of clients. I have ten years of experience in the helping professions. My experience includes but is not limited to adolescents, addictions, men and boys, and sports psychology. I am a nationally certified counselor and registered with the state of Colorado as a Psychotherapist.

What is good about your relationship? What strengths do you have, or remember having before? Einstein said, “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them,” and yet that is the approach we often take with relationship difficulties. When this happens, more and more of your attention gets pulled into “the problem.” Since your energy flows where your attention is, you lose sight of strengths you have to see the situation with new eyes. Working with someone who can help you see new perspectives allows you both to grow in unexpected ways.

Sometimes it gets to be too much, doesn't it? You work hard. There's a life you are trying to create but you're struggling and feeling all alone. You don't have to. Whether it's help with depression or anxiety, trouble in your relationships, children in crisis - I can help. I have years of experience and successful outcomes with people just like you.

Everyone's journey in life is filled with challenges that often help us to understand more fully who we are. Sometimes it is helpful to have another perspective, a guide, or tools to navigate these difficult stretches of the journey. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in counseling for the past 20 years and was an educator prior. I work with a wide variety of clients, but have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, divorce, parenting, life transitions, personal discovery, and spiritual issues.

These are really tough times, aren't they? Existing issues feel bigger and it can be that much harder to cope. Therapy can heIp. I approach therapy in a warm and collaborative manner to help couples, individuals, and families identify new and adaptive ways to deal with life's challenges. In couples therapy, I use Emotion-Focused and Gottman approaches to help partners learn to manage and repair conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, and build emotional connections. In family treatment, I'll work with your family to develop adaptive and healthy communication patterns, as well as address parenting concerns and behavioral issues.

For over twenty years, I've been helping individuals, couples, and families struggling with a range of problems including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, ADD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, marital and family distress, infidelity, and sexual addictions. Working as a therapist, researcher, and professor in medical settings throughout my career (University of Texas Medical Branch, University of Nebraska Medical Center) has informed my work with individuals and families to provide whole-personal care, integrating mind, body, and spirit.

I appreciate people who care and are engaged, but may need a little help. We are all intelligent, creative, funny and loving. Sometimes, all you need is help finding that path. I like people who are willing to be open and give it a try. This may look like an individual looking to face changes, or maybe a couple looking to learn how to communicate or find that lost spark. In other cases, this may involve business partners or family members learning how to trust one another. I like to work with people who are willing to do the work.
