"Outside the Box" Individual Therapy and Family Therapeutic Approach
As a clinical therapist serving the Golden and Denver, CO area. I have a wide background in social work and my therapeutic approach lends itself towards working with the clients whole system whenever possible. Through my individual and family counseling practice I often help parents understand developmental stages and techniques in setting boundaries, in concurrence with the entire family's work. Social workers tend to not look at "the person as the problem", but the whole system surrounding the client and how we can strategically alter certain aspects of the environment around them to help them grow and heal.  

Healing Through My Individual & Family Counseling Approach
I feel that great outcomes can be obtained with the right balance of realistic goals, hard work and desire.  I am a clinician that truly believes in my clients, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to guide them and their loved ones through the process of healing and personal growth.  If you've been to therapy in the past and it "didn't work", or you're just looking for a something a little unique, I tend to have an "outside the box" approach.  

Women's Specific Therapy
Women need a therapist who understands the psychology of women.  One who can offer you the safety of another woman who understands that pressure you feel to be everything to all people.  Let us figure out together what's not working for you and how to change it.  Get beyond the sabotaging influence of your past relationships and develop the self-acceptance and self-confidence to become the woman you were meant to be.  Find out how much better you can feel!

Adolescent and Family Therapy
I am a therapist who specializes in adolescent therapy and family dynamics in Golden and Denver, CO. Many of the topics I see regularly are adolescent behavioral concerns, family dynamics/parent coaching, and life transitions (such as a recent marriage, a birth, divorce, a child leaving home, illness). Being adults, we forget how profound some of these adolescent struggles feel.  We often overlook the importance of our teens passing through these life adjustments in a complete and successful way in order to have a strong and empowered sense of self moving through high school and into adulthood.

Trauma Therapy
As a clinical therapist with a strong background in individual trauma and PTSD therapy, I became certified in EMDR therapy.   EMDR is one of the most proven therapy techniques in clearing/ desensitizing traumatic events in a way that traditional talk therapy has not allowed clients to do in the past.  EMDR is utilized to not only decrease trauma but as a powerful technique for performance enhancement be it public speaking or athletic performance.   Whether it's a "big" issue or a "small" one, it is all relative to how it is impacting your life.  No matter what you'd like to improve, we can accomplish it through my individual and family counseling practice.  My office is just a few minutes West of Denver, in Golden, CO.

Therapy for Trauma Professionals
The rewards of being a trauma professional; be it a police officer, nurse, physician, military personnel, educator, attorney, investigator or therapist, is immense.  However, the world in which we work can feel dark at times.  After years of working with individuals who do potentially traumatizing jobs every day in the hopes of bettering the world, I decided it was imperative I add in supporting those individuals so that they can maintain a balance between the intensely difficult work they do and seeing the beauty that is often overlooked in the world.


It is never too late to create the life you feel you should be living.
