I specialize in offering individualized and compassionate care to empower individuals in overcoming challenges and enhancing their lives and relationships. Working in human services in one capacity or another for over 25 years, my counseling philosophy now revolves around a holistic approach, integrating evidence-based practices, trauma-informed care, and cultural sensitivity to address the unique needs of each client. My therapeutic background extends to working with individuals, couples, families, and teenagers, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, attachment wounds stemming from challenging childhood experiences, trauma, and the stressors of demanding careers.

Transforming ourselves, our behaviors, or our perspectives can seem like a daunting task, but throughout human history, millions have successfully met their needs, finding nurture, peace, and thriving. I firmly believe in holistic wellness, recognizing that emotional, physical, and relational health are intricately connected, and even a small change in one facet can ripple through the entire system.

In building a therapeutic relationship with you, I prioritize safety, trust, authenticity, compassion, non-judgment, honesty, and even a touch of humor. The holistic foundation, incorporates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. Our work together caters to your uniqueness, progressing at a pace comfortable for you.

I offer a complimentary phone consultation and have flexible availability for sessions, including evenings and weekends. Using your resilience, you can transition from frustration to thriving, and enhance your most vital relationships—with yourself, friends, family, and your career. My professional background also encompasses discreet work with senior executive leadership, athletes, and public figures.

Educationally, I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology & Counselor Education from the University of Colorado Denver, and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado (License #0011710). I received my Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University. Additionally, I am a Certified Life Coach from Transformation Academy.

Beyond my academic qualifications, I have had the privilege of facilitating group therapy across a wide spectrum of topics, as well as holding roles as clinical director and CEO within behavioral health hospitals and mental health centers. My diverse experiences extend to participating in high-pressure athletic endeavors and events in both team and individual activities, and I have guided youth and teenagers on transformative wilderness therapy journeys.
