Everyone sees your “perfect” relationship, telling you how lucky you are to have your partner by your side. You smile and nod in agreeance, but behind closed doors, you know the truth: tension, fighting, lack of intimacy, exhaustion with one another, and constant miscommunication. You feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells, never knowing what will lead to the next fight or night in complete silence. You have tried hard to fix these issues but are losing energy, and frankly losing hope.

Relational conflict? Needing help navigating life's challenges? Depression, family conflict, divorce, infidelity, anxiety, school issues? Sick of leaving sessions and feeling as if no progress has been made? I have had the pleasure of helping those in transition for several years. I make it a priority to attend to each clients individual needs while also keeping up to date on the latest literature to best assist clients of various backgrounds who are experiencing interpersonal struggles. I specialize in assisting individuals, couples, adolescents, and families experiencing a variety of struggles.

My favorite clients to work with are males ages 12 & up, couples, and groups in conflict. For people who are motivated to grow but feel stuck, I've learned the collaborative process of breakthrough can be fun and exciting! Many of my clients have been Christians, finding they preferred to work through important issues with someone who understands and shares their values. However, your faith can play as much or as little of a role as you would like it to during our time together! My clients tend to value a laid-back yet straightforward style, finding courage to pursue curiosity and adventure instead of fear.

Being a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) means that I incorporate many facets of your life into therapy. Often people think that MFTs only work with couples and families, while we do often work a lot with these clients, we also work with individuals and bring our systemic approach to therapy with them as well. Personally, it just makes sense to me to take into account all of the different systems you are connected to as I work to help you be where you want to be. I will work collaboratively with you and bring more than a decade of experience as a therapist into our sessions.

Would you like to work on your issues with mindfulness, compassion and curiosity? Those are the qualities we use together to work with depression, grief, anxiety and relationship issues. Becoming aware of and learning to work with one's inner critic is very helpful too. In general, counseling and psychotherapy are powerful tools that can help us to feel better.

Since 1991 our therapists have provided therapy to a diverse population of clients. We use evidence-based therapies to treat a wide range of individual, couple, and family issues. Our fees are on a sliding scale ranging from $25-$85. Our therapy is brief, strengths-based, and solution-focused. When you call, we will conduct a brief phone intake and schedule your first appointment. Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions are available for your convenience. We welcome all clients regardless of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, ability, family form, relational status, religion or presenting problem.

Everyone tells a story: "I am a success," "I am content with my life," "I am a failure," or "no one cares about me." If your story is increasingly negative, perhaps we should talk about it. I use narrative therapy, which helps you separate yourself from your problems and then conquer them. It's like rewriting your story; your problems become the villains, and therapy helps you defeat them. In addition to narrative therapy, I am also an EMDR Level I & II practitioner, a therapy which helps you to reprocess traumatic memories so that you are no longer triggered by them. Our practice is accepting new clients.

It's confusing and overwhelming to be living in our world today. You are gifted, highly sensitive, and often feel overwhelmed by what you experience and perceive in the world. You are intuitive, creative, expressive, full of spunk, and zest. Yet you get frustrated by old patterns, lack of follow-through and being inconsistent. This impacts your performance, relationships and most important your life mission. Embark in a deep, spiritual transformation, met with compassion, support, authenticity and kindness! I'll push you to become your best self, and let go of what is not working in your life in a fun and collaborative process.

My primary objective when clients begin counseling is to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment to speak openly. I believe in the progression of change and enjoy working with various challenges that life presents to us. I strive to use a collaborative style of counseling, focused on helping clients gain a sense of empowerment. My emphasis is on the importance of increasing insight and awareness, as well as strengthening one's relationships and support systems.

My life motto is, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference" (St. Frances ). Whether you're seeking inner peace, harmony with others, or guidance to overcome life's challenges, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I'll walk alongside you, providing the assistance and encouragement you need to regain control over your life during this season. If you're grappling with depression, a fractured relationship, abuse, or any other issues, I'll leverage my expertise and skills to help you achieve your personal and therapeutic objectives.

Welcome. I work with individual adults, couples, and diverse relationships. I would love to meet to see how we can partner together for your growth and healing.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups around psychosocial and medical health issues. I am a Colorado and Washington State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. The psychosocial conditions I provide treatment for include: addictions/compulsions, anxiety and depression, abuse and trauma, marriage/relationship issues, health and wellness, spirituality/faith issues, identity development issues, and sexuality. I believe a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to health is the most comprehensive method of treatment.

*** Currently, I am taking on new clients from a waitlist and anticipate that most people will be on there for about 10 weeks before I can start. I'm sorry for any frustration or disappointment this may cause. If you would like to be put on the waitlist, please visit my website and schedule a consultation. *** You can be happy and confident in your sexuality and sex life. Even if you feel as though it has disappeared, is out of control/"addicted", or is broken, there is hope. If you are want to discover, rediscover, reclaim, repair, rescue, or revive your sexuality, I can help.

Do you find yourself trying to make everyone around you happy but yourself? Do you try to intellectualize your way out of your feelings? Do you feel on edge or anxious most of the time? Our minds and bodies do a wonderful job of helping us survive traumatic experiences, but these survival techniques can also begin to impact our connection with ourselves, our relationships, our purpose, and much more. Through exploring past experiences, strengthening the mind-body connection, and continuing to be curious and compassionate towards self, we can begin to shift ourselves out of survival mode into a life we choose.
