Welcome to my practice and congratulations for taking the first step!
 
 
I am a graduate of the University of Denver, School of Professional Psychology, and I have been in the field for over 10 years.  During this time, I have worked with traumatized children as a youth counselor and therapist, conducted couples and family therapy, served as a clinical director of several mental health programs, taught in university settings, supervised the clinical work of graduate students, and conducted community workshops on a variety of topics in mental health.   
 
 
 
Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to empowering children, teens, families, and couples to become more resilient in the face of life's stresses. 
 
The nuts and bolts of my approach is that I guide you to harness the wisdom and power of your emotions.  Properly harnessed, emotions often lead to profound shifts in well-being.  
  
Initially, my role is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and free to explore your thoughts and feelings.  Together, we come up with the goals that are most important to you.  I want you to feel comfortable asking me questions about the therapeutic methods I use to support and guide you.
 
Because I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve the outcomes they desire, I believe its important to monitor our progress from session to session.  I seek out your feedback to make sure I am on the right track or to find out if I need to change something about my approach so that we are working together effectively.  From the first session to the last, your voice and your perspective is essential in the therapeutic process.
 

I very much look forward to our work together.
 
 
 
"We shall not cease from exploration 
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time."
