I strive to be trained in and implement various treatment modalities so as to provide the best path for their healing and growth. I understand each person's lived experience is different and even similarities to other people (i.e. DSM-5 diagnoses) are formed due to unique circumstances and reasons in each person's life. This is why I will always tailor treatment to best meet each person's needs.

lI have been in private practice for 46 years in Littleton, Colorado. My work is a combination of the Western understanding of personality development including the powerful family influences as we grow up. Also important is the Nature we are born with. My view includes the Eastern understanding that we are imbued with pure aspects of Essence that emerge developmentally and are often buried due to our early experiences of life. The problem solving that we do in the session naturally leads to our deeper issues that when mirrored and supported become permanent changes in relationship to ourselves and others.

Life can be challenging, especially now. Starting the process to look for a therapist can be daunting. So congratulate yourself on taking this step. I believe that finding a good fit, feeling understood, and connecting to your therapist is imperative. For this reason I offer a free phone consultation, to ensure we are a good fit and which modality of therapy will work for you. Currently I offer in person, walk and talk, and Telehealth sessions.

Are you stressed out or anxious? Does it feel like your marriage is struggling? Are you struggling to get through the day? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. And I know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But I’m so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here.

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.
