I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

I am an individual, couple, and family therapist that specializes in trauma work, self-efficacy, and resilience. I use an authenticity and strengths based approach to help clients develop the self-authorship necessary to find healing and lasting change. To do this, I gently empower individual growth and self-actualization, helping clients rediscover their sense of self and the confidence to navigate life's complex challenges.

Choosing to seek therapy takes strength and courage, and you are already showing that within you. I believe that you are the expert of your own story and hope to treat you as such, while providing some additional insight that could be helpful to you. I value respect, honesty, and vulnerability in the work I do.

My job as a counselor is to help empower you and to work with you to find a solution to the problems you or your family are facing; whether it be anxiety, depression, or school/job related stressors, or you’re having relationship or family issues, I am here to help. I have worked with a wide variety of clients from the ages of 15 to 50 years old using individual and family therapy. Sometimes just having a judgement free place to talk can make all the difference when life stressors are impacting your daily functioning. I am offering tele-health at this time as well.

Everyone has a story. I want to hear your story, whether you are depressed and suicidal, have parenting challenges, are struggling with relationship boundaries, or finding where you fit in this world. I believe in you as a human being, a relational being, a spiritual being. Professionally, I am a seasoned therapist with almost 30 years of experience, including over a decade of which involved assessing people in crisis, supporting those struggling with medical issues, and connecting people to community resources. Personally, I am an adoptive parent of five children.

Starting the counseling process can feel daunting, but I make it easy. I'm warm & supportive (but direct), nonjudgmental, funny, and REAL. I work hard to help you heal yourself & your relationships. If life feels overwhelming, you're struggling in relationships, or you need direction, I would love to work with you. I'll learn about you & your needs, and tailor my approach to your preferences and personality. Ultimately, I support clients to find healthier, more honest & direct ways to relate to themselves, their partners, and the world.

If you have ever experienced sexual assault, abuse, the loss of a loved one, or a toxic relationship you are already a survivor. You might feel really lost and alone, but you don't have to be. Oftentimes when people have been through significant traumas they continue through life thinking they will be fine, but they are continuously haunted by anxiety and depression. If you have experienced any of these traumatic situations you likely have also experienced narcissistic abuse within your family. This kind of trauma and abuse can make it difficult to function in healthy relationships as an adult. -now offering EMDR

I view the counseling process as a collaborative journey, where client and counselor work together to explore and navigate the path towards healing and personal growth. Embracing this philosophy, I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective, valuing and respecting the individuality of every client he serves. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and enjoyable environment (yes, therapy can be fun!) that empowers clients to maximize their strengths and achieve their life aspirations. My therapeutic style is characterized by an empathetic and solution-focused approach custom-tailored to meet the needs of my clients.

Serving Wyoming and Colorado, my practice aims to provide healing for the mind, body, and spirit. With the use of evidence based practices and over a decade of experience, we can pursue the positive life changes you are looking for. My approach to counseling includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. Together we will create a treatment plan that is client centered, efficient and solution focused. Previous populations served include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, residentially placed, adjudicated, and cognitively impaired.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

I have a personable style of working with people which allows them to quickly settle into the therapy process. I focus on helping others learn how to rely on their inner resources which will define their true personality and recognize the beliefs or behaviors which hold them back from their full potential. This opens up the process to build new skills, a stronger self esteem, regain self confidence and a real sense of direction. With a renewed sense of personal strength people build healthier, happier relationships with family, friends and coworkers, and pursue vocations with greater success.

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling over things we "shouldn't" or feeling down, anxious, or stuck "for no reason." We often criticize ourselves for struggling or try to grin and bear it, but these options often make things worse or at best maintain the status quo. Therapy, however, can help us learn how to navigate life's challenges and be kinder to ourselves in the process. Within the context of a genuine, empathic, collaborative, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, my goal is to help you learn about yourself, and together move you towards living the life you want.

As a somatic, experiential therapist, sessions with me will be engaging! Couples and individuals find me hoping to dive deeper in their therapeutic work. I specialize in integrating experiential and somatic therapy models, considering the whole human and the systems that impact us all. I specialize in seeing couples and other relational styles who need support in navigating trust ruptures, communication struggles, trauma (complex, acute, and ancestral), parenting issues, neurodivergency, sexuality, and identity. In addition, I love offering individual work focused within the Internal Family Systems and somatic therapy models.

For over twenty years I have had the privilege of helping clients improve their close relationships while also developing their comfort with a healthy, wide range of emotions. At times all of us experience overwhelmingly painful feelings or problems coping with our stressful lives. My ultimate hope and goal is to help you to expand your capacity to respond to future challenges with greater resilience, insight, and self compassion. I specialize in working with people committed to developing healthy connections, clients struggling with mood issues, and those looking to increase their understanding of their emotions and themselves.

I have openings! I specialize in couples and families who feel disconnected due to polarizations in their characteristics, including trauma history, personal needs, and other lived experiences that give rise to misunderstandings in relationships. I help you find your way back to each other by creating a sacred space where compromise and collaboration thrive. Together, we will track your unique histories and viewpoints, develop a deep shared understanding of your pattern and each other, and learn the most effective, science-backed communication skills to move your relationship to a safe, intimate, life-enhancing bond. Come with me!

As your therapist, I'm here to provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged. I won't just sit quietly – instead, I'll ask questions, offer suggestions, and reflect on what you share. Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that might be bothering you in your everyday life, whether that be challenges with relationships, work, or family. Our goal is to help you feel better, be true to who you are, and improve your relationships. And along the way, you'll get valuable skills to reduce stress and move your life forward.

I believe much of our life satisfaction is based in our relationships, both with ourselves and with others. I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges they face in their relationships with their loved ones, as well as the challenges they may face with themselves due to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. With over 20 years in this field, I have developed a supportive therapeutic style utilizing effective treatment modalities to help clients feel empowered to achieve their goals.

Have you struggled with feeling out of place? Feeling lost or overwhelmed with your day-to-day? Never feeling like your trauma or past adverse experiences lets you breathe? I would love the opportunity to chat and work with anyone that is ready to address traumas, pain, or suffering they're currently experiencing. I believe that everyone deserves to thrive, but sometimes we need some support and help getting there. I have particular interest in helping with navigating masculinity, intersectionality, identify development, self-worth, and distress tolerance.
