Let's work together to provide your child with better skills and confidence at setting boundaries, advocating for their own needs, looking forward to their future, and enjoying a stronger, healthier self esteem. Call me today so we can get started!

Feeling overwhelmed is like a 20-foot wave crashing into you, leaving you with a flood of tasks that even the most efficient person couldn’t navigate through. The fatigue, anxiety and stress that follows can make you shut down, or even cause you to isolate in a quiet space until you feel ready to face your endless to-do list. It may have already started affecting your physical health in the form of stomach aches, or even your sleep – keeping you awake and obsessing over everything you need to do. Perhaps some of this exhaustion comes from playing a never-ending juggling act of constantly maneuvering your life to accommodate others.

We take risks when revealing the most intimate parts of ourselves to another human. This means the connection between client and clinician is key. We will likely work well together if you are seeking a collaborative and direct approach. We will "lean in" to your needs and goals together. My goal is for you to live with internal peace, and develop a deeper sense of self, so life can feel a bit less bumpy...or a lot less bumpy! It's hard being human. I know...I am one...and I bring my humanness when I work.

I want to work with Couples and/or Individuals who want to discover their own unique strengths and desires, and are ready to do some intensive work to make life changing behaviors in their relationships with their significant others or themselves! Therapy can be very powerful, and will enhance the ways in which you can communicate, feel connected to your loved ones as well as experience new levels of intimacy with hard work and honesty! I would love to be part of your experience through building an excellent therapeutic relationship, and enhancing the results with Multi-Systemic Therapies and/or EMDR Interventions!

TELEHEALTH NOTICE - As of March 2020 and until further notice I am primarily conducting services via video or telephone. My practice is focused on helping people struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and infertility issues as well as working with couples at various stages of relationship (dating, pre-marital, marital, etc.). I was trained from a psychodynamic perspective, which I integrate with other techniques and orientations. In otherwords, I view current problems as having roots in past events and patterns, but believe change is achieved through active participation in the present moment.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or depression as the result of a major life change? Life changes can be exciting: new job, recent marriage, birth of a child. Life changes can also be terrifying: loss of job, divorce, death of a loved one. You may initiate some life changes: planned retirement, move to another city or another country. Other life changes seem to force themselves upon you: a toxic relationship with a loved one that is no longer acceptable, unexpected injury, loved one that has betrayed your trust.

I have a sincere interest in assisting adolescents, couples, and individuals through difficult situations and life events. Whether you are getting married, suffering with marital discord, divorce; grief; chronic illness; anxiety, depression, or low self esteem - together, we can find peace, balance, and more importantly - answers to break old patterns and habits that are not serving you. Using an approach tailored to you and your experiences we can exercise hope and possibilities. DAY, EVENING, & WEEKEND HOURS AVAILABLE!

From day to day, life presents many challenges that makes it hard to stay balanced and feel positive. I believe in the uniqueness and benefits of the therapeutic relationship and space to allow a person to feel supported and heard. Telling your story can be powerful and can allow for beginning steps to healing.

Hello. I consider myself a rather pragmatic, reality-based therapist. I spent many years contracting with community mental health centers in the metro Denver area and have been well-recognized as a supportive clinician for those in need. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, I will incorporate how you are impacted by the transitions in your life with your desire for growth. I enjoy using humor, music and interpersonal relationships in what I value as a parallel and experiential process. Call for a free telephone consultation and thank you for taking the time to review my page.

I specialize in in the treatment of psychological trauma, and its subsequent issues including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I have extensive experience working with attachment issues, family system concerns, developmental disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. My therapeutic lens is person centered. I believe every individual is the master of their own experience. I also see individuals as part of a bigger system. Often times it is crucial to focus on the bigger system in order to foster change. Within this framework I use art therapy as my method for healing.

Present-moment awareness -- mindfulness, are generally the missing pieces in the field of general psychology. I am interested in working with individuals dealing with addictions, compulsions, irrational thinking and/or general life problems. I strive to engage the human spirit of each individual in a joint effort to identify and manage or overcome problems. Each person has a vast background and different experiences. Each treatment plan must be tailored to the individual. I offer insight, energy, structure, and support. It is exciting and rewarding to me to be part of your journey toward health and happiness.

12/31: Two spots available for new clients! My clients (couples, individuals) want results, connection, compassion, and tools. They typically like being challenged. If you think, "Something has to change, but I don't know what or how," I'm here to support you along that journey. Do you want more insight around your life? Do you crave control or to be seen? Do you need to be kinder to yourself? Are you tired of not fully living life? Is your life is spiraling? Do you feel lonely? Are the thoughts and memories preventing you from having the life you want? Our work together is focused on your needs.

After 18 years in practice, I know that you likely have been dealing with your concerns for some time. I offer a safe, supportive, and compassionate space for you to gain insight and understanding, and to find healing and resolution. My style is relaxed, conversational, nonjudgmental, and patient. I will listen as you put words to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I will believe in you and the emotional work you are brave enough to take on, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be and are moving in the direction intended for you.

Strengthen the Spirit. Heal the Soul. That is the motto at Four Winds Counseling Center. I believe that the counseling relationship is paramount in the healing process. My aim is to provide a safe environment in which the client feels their souls are valued, thus vulnerability is fostered. I have a profound respect for the human experience and all that it encompasses, including, but not exclusively pain to the soul. Vulnerability is a privilege, and a privileged right. I aim to hold a container in the therapeutic room in which this privilege of vulnerability may be fostered.

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."   -Arthur Ashe-   There is no perfect time to get started with therapy. If you feel ready, I am here to be with you in your journey no matter where it leads. I support adults and couples navigating interpersonal communication struggles, relationship dynamics and transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, isolation, life transitions, and identity exploration. We’ll work together to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships and heal past wounds to open the door to a more enlivened everyday experience.

Are you needing help with your relationship? Or finding that you're overwhelmed? I would be honored to work with you, you and your partner, or your family. My passion is supporting people in being the best version of themselves. I'm interested in helping you develop self esteem, confidence, and satisfaction. With couples and families, I start by bringing clarity to negative patterns that are keeping you stuck, explore what's driving these patterns, and help you practice new, more effective communication patterns. My specialties are couples therapy, marriage therapy, family therapy, and child/adolescent therapy.

I work with all clients from a biopsychosocial, intersectional perspective that takes into account the ways the past informs the present, and how the present prepares us for the future. My approach to therapy is integrative and centered in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies and a collaborative effort to set goals and work together to help you change for the better, for good.
