Wondering if you need a little help?
Life does not always go as planned, and sometimes situations hit you out of the blue, leaving you disoriented, grasping for meaning. Many seek answers through self-help books and Google searches. Yet, this provides only partial answers. You, as an individual, can’t be limited to pages in a book or a web search.
To make real changes in yourself and how you interact with the world, your story must be heard with compassion and acceptance.
Depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship issues – beneath each of us is a turbulent sea of complexity. Most of us are touched by some of these struggles at some point in our lives. I help those who are stuck and have not been able to walk through the struggle alone.
You and your story are unique.
I can help you find the truth of who you are in all the chaos and noise of untruths that others may have led you to believe. I want to help you find the lost you.
The you who used to enjoy life and like yourself. I can help heal the hurts and ease the pain of life’s unforgiving trials in whatever form they may have come.
Helping you to find the heathiest and happiest life possible is my goal.
What you can expect.
From the first email or phone call, you will be greeted with the utmost level of genuineness and confidentiality. We will have a conversation so that I can understand what is not working in your life the way you would like.
Once you believe you would like to work with me, you will come to my office for the first session where I can get to know you better and understand what your needs are. Together we will figure out a plan to meet the goals you have for yourself.
Over our work together, we will take one step at a time to reach the goals you have.
The time it will take to reach your goals is individual to you and your needs. In therapy, there are many tools at my disposal to meet a wide range of challenges you may have.
Helping you to meet your goals is my purpose. The thought of you living a happier and healthier life is my passion.
About Me
I’ve been working with individuals since 2005, and I have come to appreciate the unique qualities and needs of each person.
My path has allowed me to work with clients from all walks of life. I have worked with incarcerated individuals, the average neighbor next door, and everyone in between. I find that I learn something valuable from each client which helps me to be a better person.
Being a therapist allows me to help others find joy and health in their lives. I walk with clients through the hard, and good, stuff. Pushing or pulling a client is not what I do. Encouraging positive changes and strengthening resolve IS what I do.
Personally—I am a wife and mother. I not only have a grown son, but I have one fur-baby (cat), Puss.
My favorite place is the ocean. Maybe you noticed this by the pictures on this website! Nothing is more soothing to me than the sound of ocean waves and the feel of sand between my toes. As I live in Colorado, trips to the ocean have to wait for occasional vacations. Yet, you will find the ocean feel in my office – less the sand!
