Great to meet you!

Everyone has a life story and every story is important. Are you feeling unsure, stuck, or lost in your life story? You don’t have to go through it alone. We can co-create achievable actions and goals leading to your happiness, hope, and healing. With over 20 years’ experience and training in multiple therapeutic approaches; progress can be rapid and lasting. Working with adults navigating disruptive thought patterns, confusing life circumstances, and past traumas.

My approach to therapy

My journey has taken me from community mental health mostly with court ordered clients, to Employee Assistance Program work with CO State employees, to private practice, and finally substance abuse and trauma related treatment for the Army with active duty Soldiers. I am a Solution Focused Brief Therapy practitioner. I have extensive training in many types of therapy to help obtain positive results. And I fully expect positive results!

What you can expect from me

The client is the expert on themselves and what works for them. I am the expert on listening and co-creating effective change. Expect a warm partnership and help in your progress toward change. We will be looking for wins and successes and building on that. Everyone is different and everyone has their own path. We will find yours!
