Watch how a person builds a sandcastle, a philosopher once said. The first person will proceed hesitantly, fretting about the inevitable return of the waves. The second person won't even start: why bother, the tide will only destroy it. The third person embraces the unavoidable and throws themself into the work regardless, joyful but not oblivious. We often feel like all three people at once, leaving us confused and stuck. The aim of my work is emotional intelligence, which is the capacity to reconcile the contradictions inside ourselves in order to become more vital, creative, flexible, and accepting of our self.
Every life contains difficulties. From the beginning, I assume there is much more right with you than not right. I guide you to tap into your innate strengths. Together, we will find practical solutions, renewed purpose, and cultivate relational harmony. I work with people of all ages. As a psychologist, I have been on the teaching faculties at DU & CU.
My role is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and free to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we come up with the goals that are important to you. I want you to feel comfortable asking me questions about the therapeutic tools I use to support and guide you. Please contact me for a free professional consultation.
