Immediate Openings Available - Contact me. Dual licensed in Colorado and California. "All manner of things shall be well." Sometimes we get stuck. Is the past holding on tight and refusing to let you move forward? Is the current state of the world around you, local and far away, keeping you awake into the night with fear and anxiety? You are not alone. Reaching out for support can feel like an impossible step. Seeking support is a sign of strength, of courage, NOT weakness. They can be, and you have taken the first step by reaching out.

As a licensed professional counselor, I have been working successfully with children, teens and adults for more than 20 years in a variety of settings. I believe that healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship. My approach to helping people become their healthiest selves involves finding out what is working in their lives and trying to help you strategize about how to expand those positive aspects. My clients have shared that they experience my style as warm, genuine, engaging and non-judgemental.

I work with children 12 and under and their parents. I believe including parents in the therapeutic process is the best and quickest way to change. I have experience working with diagnoses including ADHD, ODD, Anxiety, Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more. I also have experience working with Domestic Violence and sexual assault victims and survivors and military families.

I am a person centered and emotionally focused counselor who wants to engage with you in any part of your mental health journey. I believe in empowering people to look within and build internal resources for processing, coping, healing from life's hardest moments. If you are struggling with shame, identity confusion, anxiety, sadness, grief, or just the ups and downs of life, we will be a great fit!

I welcome clients navigating all stages of life's difficulties. I specialize in holistic and compassionate treatment and provide a non-judgmental environment in working with individuals who are interested in healing from depression, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, as well as acute and complex trauma.

We all have our own negative stories that we tell or have about ourselves. You come to counseling to learn how to sit in joy and happiness. You don't come to counseling to learn about how to be depressed, anxious, or how to talk about yourself in a negative way. I value the therapeutic relationship, and together we will build a safe place, as I believe this is one of the key components to become the best version of yourself. In our time together, my goal and my hope is to assist you to re-author your story and learn how to sit in happiness versus the negative messages you tell yourself.

Maybe you're chasing the weekend, more sleep, the end of a big project, or the end of your kid's sports season in hopes of ridding yourself of this feeling.

I offer individuals the opportunity to experience emotional wellness and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment.

Do you wake thinking about your problems? Does fear of failure, criticism, or imperfection keep you from the life you want? Stories like, "I'll take that trip to the pyramids as soon as I lose weight" or "I'll apply for that job as soon as I'm an expert" are all too familiar for many of us. Early life successes can set smart people up for a life of perfectionism and self-sabotage as we strive for infallibility. Are these fears keeping you from social activities, work, artistic or athletic endeavors? Are they keeping you isolated?

My ideal client is one who feels that they are stuck and has found it hard to find a way out. They are seeking purpose and are tired of living an unfulfilled life. They may have made some mistakes and need assistance on the journey of reconciliation. They could be dealing with a loss so detrimental that it has halted any forward progress in life and they now need to understand the new person they will become. They could have suffered tremendously at the hands of others and the pain of the past is still present and they need to find away to make sense of it all. My ideal client has been afflicted with the human condition.
