Life can be very difficult to navigate at times, and we all face unexpected twists and turns that can throw us off our game, and that doesn't include major life transitions that can impact our feelings of wellness. Sometimes life stressors can feel overwhelming and can even make us feel stuck and unclear about which direction to grow in. I can help guide your mental health journey and together we can learn how to help you navigate the many challenges that face you in your life's journey.

In my over twenty years experience in the mental health field I've gained a multitude of experiences and I'm very excited to start offering my expertise to private therapy clients. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and adults of up to retirement age or later to help them navigate the stresses and difficulties of life transitions, peer pressure, family relationships, divorce, separation, and grief. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and have a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling as well as …a Master's Degree from the Wharton Graduate School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. In my first career in Business I worked at IBM as a financial planner and I have understanding of the complex relationship most of us have with money. In addition, I have worked as a Director of Quality and Director of Compliance at three community mental health centers in Colorado and at two inpatient psychiatric hospitals in Colorado. I have been providing individual and group therapy since 2004. I'm currently working in several emergency rooms in Colorado providing psychiatric and substance abuse assessments, interventions, and placements if needed.

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Brief Solution Focused therapy in addition to trauma-focused therapy to help individuals gain skills and problem solve in their current situation. I would enjoy the opportunity to see if we can improve and build upon your foundation together.

I would enjoy meeting with you to see about what kind of possibilities exist for you moving forward in your life and dreams!
