Therapists in Grand Junction, CO

I specialize in couple's therapy using the most current techniques in relationship counseling. I believe that many issues couples face, issues that often lead to relationship breakup, are normal, understandable and treatable through therapy. After years as a therapist, I have found a method for couples counseling, EFT(Emotionally Focused Therapy), that systematically addresses deep relationship issues and empowers profound and lasting change. I have been married for 40 years, have four children, value family as a stable base and would not be where I am today without the support of professional marriage counseling. I believe in it!

I work with adults, adolescents, and children on finding happiness, healthy coping skills, and better balance. It’s time to scrape off the judgements, and with a good dose of self-compassion, figure out how you can live better. We’ll work together to gain understanding, build an emotional toolbox, set goals, and try on new perspectives. My expertise and experience show up in every session to create a safe space for you to make the changes you are seeking. I will challenge you, laugh with you, and sit in emotion with you.
