Practice Information
I work with clients to help them find solutions to their problems, develop improved coping skills and build a solid foundation for thriving and success. I believe that counseling should not become a crutch. Rather, I am primarily solution focused and believe that counseling should address past issues and experiences for the purpose of determining how they impact your current responses to situations, contribute to your emotional well-being, and shape your path to personal success. From that point forward, counseling should foster growth, independence and thriving.

Whether you are feeling bogged down by anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or issues that you have struggled with throughout your life, the way you feel internally radiates outwardly. When you feel good, your relationships will improve and you will have a sense of direction and empowerment.

My counseling approach works to improve perspective, and teach tools to build upon pre-existing strengths. I specialize in working with people who are seeking treatment for anxiety or depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and parenting difficulties. I teach more effective ways to respond to and manage feelings, gain clarity about sense of self and purpose, and change negative thought patterns into more positive productive thought patterns. Ultimately my approach aims to improve sense of well-being, purpose, perspective and quality of relationships.

Everyone possesses strengths that can help them through their struggles and guide them to rewarding and fulfilling lives. Learn to harness your strengths so that you can achieve the happiness you desire! Call for a free 20- minute consultation to determine if I may be of help to you.

I am committed to continuing education in the areas of my specialties, as the field of psychology is rapidly changing with new developments in research and education. As a result, I regularly attend seminars on a variety of mental health topics such as anxiety, trauma, relationships, divorce, parenting, and the neurobiology of psychotherapy (which is a topic that is endlessly fascinating to me.)
Bio:
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado and have been in private practice since 2004. In addition to my counseling practice, I serve as an Affiliate Faculty member at Regis University in their School for Professional Studies, teaching a variety of classes in their Master's in Counseling program.

I have lived in Colorado most of my life and enjoy outdoor activities in our beautiful state. I greatly enjoy my work with teens and adults and, in addition to my academic training and professional experience, I have learned a tremendous amount about parenting, and life in general, by raising my own three children who are mostly grown now.

The field of psychology is rapidly changing with new developments in research and education. As a result, I regularly attend seminars on a variety of mental health and psychology topics such as treatment of anxiety, trauma, nutrition and mental health, relationships, parenting, and the neurobiology of psychotherapy. I have completed both Level I and Level II Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training plus additional requirements for Certification as an EMDR Therapist and an EMDR Approved Consultant. Furthermore, I participate actively in a number of associations related to my areas of specialty and provide supervision to other clinicians seeking EMDR Certification.
