The most essential and effective part of therapy is the building of a safe, trustworthy, therapeutic, and clear relationship.

I help clients and families to effectively manage mood disorders to engage in life goals again. When requested, I teach coping skills for anxiety and anger management. I help caregivers find resources to adjust and grow. I help to motivate health and fitness goals while clients practice transforming their self-esteem, from the inside out.

lI have been in private practice for 46 years in Littleton, Colorado. My work is a combination of the Western understanding of personality development including the powerful family influences as we grow up. Also important is the Nature we are born with. My view includes the Eastern understanding that we are imbued with pure aspects of Essence that emerge developmentally and are often buried due to our early experiences of life. The problem solving that we do in the session naturally leads to our deeper issues that when mirrored and supported become permanent changes in relationship to ourselves and others.

It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partner or friends), and the greater context of society, and nature to illuminate your unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

I have always considered it a privilege to be allowed into people's lives when they are in a challenging phase, and I believe in a strong therapeutic relationship that can be maintained if you choose to come in every week or four times a year.
There are times in our life when growth looks confusing, and we can develop unpleasant symptoms or maladaptive coping skills. We all go through phases in our lives, and I think that sometimes we benefit from help navigating the temporary situations. I provide cognitive behavioral therapy, and brief, solution focused counseling when you need some extra help. Some of my clients I have seen for years, and others see me as they would their medical provider, when issues arise. My hope is to help you successfully process your thoughts and feelings and discuss alternative choices or behavior.

The clients I often work with seek help to address trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other life transitions. My clients are motivated to explore their experiences to get to the root of their struggles and change maladaptive thinking and habits. Most feel overwhelmed or disconnected and want to feel more grounded and aligned with who they are and what brings them joy.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
