About My Clients
Clients I work with have presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma (PTSD). Depending on an individual needs, I utilize a variety of modalities such as EMDR, narrative, and IFS.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the State of Colorado and I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Colorado State University. I find it helpful if clients explore their past traumas and/or attachments. In many cases our adoption of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors acquired during our early years, which may have served us, hinder our ability to function optimally as adults.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In my view, the goal of psychotherapy is to loosen the bonds of past experience and insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed. It is through this process that we uncover opportunities to know ourselves more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more congruently. I believe (and the research indicates) that the therapeutic relationship is, at its core, the most important element in determining a successful outcome. I work collaboratively with my clients to address their concerns and I strive to do so with respect, dignity, and agency. In order to achieve desired results there must be a) a strong therapist/ client alliance, b) a mutual agreement about the purpose of therapy, and c) a mutual agreement about the methods used to achieve the purpose.
