Southeastern Denver, Denver, CO 80246 (Online Only)
My five years of experience working with mental health and substance use concerns has taught me to be an authentic, non-judgmental counselor who offers a compassionate, thought-provoking environment.
We've heard people talk about how great therapy is, and no one really mentions how hard and uncomfortable it is. I want to help you have a realistic view of what to set. Together, we'll create a space where you don’t have to be afraid to share your life. I have helped others to heal from past painful experiences and to find deeper meaning in their lives. You create better habits, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and shift your perspective. You can expect kindness, authenticity, pop culture references, and maybe even a swear word or two. This effort is no small feat, and it requires an honest view of yourself.

I am particularly passionate about supporting people living with substance use concerns, ADHD, PTSD, depression, and anxiety—as well as those who are part of the criminal justice system.
Finding yourself in destructive patterns and using unhelpful behaviors to cope can make you feel isolated and alone. Knowing you are different from others and wondering how to navigate everyday situations is exhausting and debilitating. Being neurodivergent in a world built for neurotypical people can lead to depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and substance use just to name a few. With the weight of everything all at once you can feel trapped and hopeless. No matter what you are struggling with, you deserve to be fiercely advocated for and supported in a way that honors your unique humanness.

Seeking help for the first time can be a scary and overwhelming experience. It takes courage to be willing to reach out and open up to someone new.

My belief is that when you build a strong alliance with your therapist, you create a really positive experience for the therapeutic process. I strive to create a safe positive place for adolescents to share their thoughts and feelings and learn new ways to work with conflict and setbacks they might be facing right now. Adolescents are having a hard time with all of the social distancing requirements and remote learning this often leads to anxiety, depression, and substance use. which then results in not completing school work. This is a hard time for families and it truly does affect the whole family.

I address how substance use is often a symptom of unresolved issues.
Many situations in life can be difficult, causing us stress and challenging us emotionally. In my experience, individuals can overcome struggles and decrease stress by recognizing their emotions and increasing their ability to cope in future situations. To encourage positive change and a balanced life, I focus on the individual's strengths. I provide support for individuals as they go through life transitions and stressors, past and present traumas, grief and loss, and recovery from substance use.

If you're reading this I want to encourage you to keep the momentum! Reaching out to a therapist is one of the most difficult and hopeful things you can do and it’s worth it! I work with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship issues. I've been a psychologist for over 35 years and I still love the work. My approach incorporates a spiritual orientation; this is due to working with people who are in recovery, and my own journey. Spiritual based psychotherapy is not about religion, but about accessing the Power that surrounds us, the power of Love. I am an active, engaging therapist with a sense of humor, it’s good to laugh.

I seek to work with individuals who are moving toward change, perhaps only knowing that change as a feeling, an inclination, and a belief there is a need for this change. They are driven to reveal more of themselves that has been muted by whatever patterns they've assumed. I believe we all pick up things along the way that we think we have to be or must do to get what we need. My aim is to walk alongside you and see if there are some things we are carrying that no longer serve who we are trying to be and/or become. My purpose is to listen past the words used and get to the true intention of what is longing to be heard.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
