About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), registered to counsel in Colorado. I enjoy working in private practice and have experience working in community and public health, inpatient psychiatric hospital care, and provided ministry sessions as a pastor. I enjoy working with individuals within many areas of growth and have additional training as follows:

Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level I (CCTP) and Level 2 (CCTP-II)
Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Professional (C-DBT)
Personality Disorders Certificate Class: Advanced Diagnosis, Treatment and Management
Trained on Integrating the Body into Psychotherapy

I used to laugh about myself and say, “My story is worse than a bad soap opera!” There were times in my own journey, that I felt I was on a rollercoaster that I could not get off. I am proud and thankful to have spent time in both chairs in the counseling office – as a client and as a therapist. I value transparency and the power a safe place can provide, as we work towards becoming our most authentic and healthy selves. I don’t take lightly a client’s choice to share with me a picture of their life – either victories or defeats. It is a great honor to witness each individual’s journey.

Other Important Facts:

I have 3 grown children and I deeply appreciate the seasons I have shared with them. I am a dog lover, especially Great Pyrenees and have three great grand-dogs named Led Zeppelin (Zep for short) and Stevie Nicks and Avery.
