About

Hello and Welcome! I am licensed as a professional counselor Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, and a licensed addictions counselor in both Colorado and Wyoming. I have a Masters Degree from the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado and a Bachelors degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara. I have been in the field for over 30 years and gradually gained experience with a wide range of issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, addictions, legally required treatment due to alcohol and/or drug use, PTSD, self-esteem issues, and many others.

My degree is in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. As a result my approach is eclectic. This means that I will draw from different aspects of psychology and even other disciplines when appropriate. When working with others I do my best to meet you where you are and treat you with respect, dignity and compassion. I am trained as a Sedona Method® facilitator and offer this effective technique whenever appropriate. I also have my own therapy dog name Atley who is a 6-year-old boxer. He is very sweet and likes to help people feel better. I have learned a lot from his gentleness and directness. In addition I am a board certified music therapist.

I understand and have experienced myself that life brings many surprises and unexpected transitions. I will do my best to invite you to focus your attention in the present moment and guide you to let go of unnecessary pain and suffering and bring forth your authentic Self.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward moving forward with your life!
