Action is the enemy of anxiety, and I aim to offer goal-oriented and solutions-focused services to help you make the first step in your journey of improvement. I work to provide culturally-relevant and situation-specific interventions, with over a decade of experience in the field.

Break from the usual and ineffective. Gain new experiences in your healing! Only offering telehealth at this time, as my location is no longer in Glenwood Springs.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

If you are ready to rekindle the fire between you and your partner, or... If you are ready to whittle the last chips of wood to reveal the masterpiece of you, then you are in the right place. The relationship between client and therapist is important. I work to meet clients where they are, paying special attention to creativity and positive human potential. I seek to uncover and establish an empathic, trusting, and comprehensive relationship with each of my clients providing the context for understanding the challenges and difficulties that brings them into therapy.

My ideal Client is anyone who desires to actively work to understand and overcome their symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and whatever else ails them. Anyone who is suffering at work, in relationships, and in day-to-day functioning is welcome.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors despite how hard you try to change? Do you feel like the way you are living is holding you back from your happiest, most joyful life? Perhaps you worry that you don't deserve it, or you don't have what it takes to make lasting change. But deep down, you just want to feel better, stop struggling, and start living. You can imagine your life not being ruled by relationship issues, low self-worth, addiction, trauma, or self-destructive patterns. A life where you can reach your full potential and learn to love yourself in the process. This is available to you and I can help.

Right now more than ever we are facing increased stress and trauma as a result of situations beyond our control. Many may feel helpless, scared, or lonely in the face of current events. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are at no matter what. Whether you're at rock bottom or looking for personal growth and increased well-being I want to work collaboratively with you to establish a plan to address and meet your goals. We will work together to determine the root cause of what you're experiencing and create a clear path to finding what you are looking for.
