About My Clients

My clients are everyday heroes who have been hurt by life and are still brave enough to get up, get help and get back in the game. We don't get to choose what happens to us, but we do choose what we do as a result. We can choose passive defeat or we can choose change. ​ It is possible to survive breakups, losses and grief; deal with anxiety and depression; overcome addictions; and be healthier and more fulfilled in our relationships. How we treat ourselves and others creates our world.

My Background and Approach

I am a fully licensed masters level therapist, counselor and life coach dedicated to helping you identify and build on your strengths and resources. Solution-focused therapy is targeted and direct, and can lead to quicker and more effective positive change in every area of your life. Like an athlete I employ a range of modalities including Gestalt, Reality, Family Systems and Solution Focused therapies balanced with respectful Compassionate Inquiry. I continue on my own journey of learning and exploration so that I can help you with yours. My educational background includes a MA in Counseling from Regis University, a BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado, and multiple continuing education certification courses. I see couples, families and individuals in-person, and via Telehealth. I accept Kaiser and private pay and am accepting new clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Since birth we learned how to behave and survive in this world and how to get noticed and rewarded, for better or for worse. We absorbed beliefs about ourselves from important others and became programmed according to their expectations. But are those beliefs really true? Are we short-changing ourselves by living small and staying on a path that's wrong for us? Each person is born with one-of-a-kind talents and gifts to share with the world and if you haven't found the joy of your unique expression, you will never be happy until you do. I believe the purpose of therapy is to grow up and step into our lives with fullness, freedom and responsibility. Blame is useless but awareness is priceless, it gives us the motivation to create change in our lives.. Bad things happen to all of us to one degree or another. What we do about it makes us either a victim or a hero. We love stories of overcoming enormous obstacles because that is what we are meant to do. Be the hero in your life.
