About Me
For over 20 years, I have been counseling individuals, couples, and families. My clinical practice opened in 2002 and serves children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families. The completion of my doctorate, at Colorado State University, focused on family development and counseling. I also possess a master’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies and was trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also an approved EMDR Therapy practitioner.
Much of my clinical work involves working with individuals and couples facing life transitions, including dealing with grief and loss. My professional background includes work within a variety of settings and populations, providing me in-depth perspectives and experiences. Specifically, I have previously worked with college students, providing guidance for their professional growth and development. In addition, I have worked in a medical setting, assisting individuals and couples experiencing fertility concerns. I have also spent time working with women and families who were victimized and were proceeding through the legal system. Further, I have also served as a teen mentor for a youth decision-making and leadership program. In conjunction with my private practice, I have facilitated peer support groups within the school system. Based on my professional background and training, I am experienced in working with families, couples, and individuals of various ages and am comfortable working within legal, medical, and educational settings to assist clients.
A diverse training, solid work ethic, and outstanding skills enable me to conduct “best practice” couple and family therapy, counseling, and evaluation/consultation sessions. I am committed to creating a safe environment that honors diverse backgrounds, family forms, and experiences. Click here to learn more about my counseling services and specialties.
