Welcome! I offer counseling that is collaborative and respectful. I provide individual counseling to Adults of all ages (College-age through Elder years), and also work selectively with Couples.
Sessions are offered remotely to Colorado residents (Tele-Therapy) by Zoom or Phone. For OpenPath members, I charge $70 per session for individuals, $80 for couples.
Thank you for visiting this site and taking a look at what I have to offer as a therapist. I wish you well on your journey to examine and improve your life and well-being — I know that it takes a lot of courage. Here’s a bit of info about me as a Therapist, and my approach to providing counseling:
I will work closely with you to hear you and support you in doing gentle yet deeply effective work to heal, clarify and achieve forward motion towards your goals of what you want to experience in your internal world of emotions and thoughts, and in your external world of relationships, career and practical concerns.
I believe in your wisdom, strength, and capacity to shift your life and create the most healthy, loving and supportive relationship possible with others and with yourself, and I believe in your ability and right to embody the life you have envisioned.
I am highly skilled in helping others move to the other side of Depression, Anxiety, Career Inertia, Grief and Loss, Relationship Strife and Challenges, and Personal Trauma or PTSD.
I primarily use an IFS (Internal Family Systems) counseling approach to look at and potentially resolve, heal and clarify your understanding and relationship with your inner parts so that you can experience the world (and your relationships with others, career, health, self esteem etc) from a place of greater clarity, choice, empowerment and ease. I am Level 2 trained in IFS and have over 7 years experience specializing in this modality. We may also use other intuitive and counseling approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, energy work, tarot/oracle, in our work together. The emphasis is to identify and reduce the limitations or obstacles to your joy and expression of Self, and shift into having a life experience where you are more of who you authentically are, and other people experience this clearer, more Self-led you more and more.
For those who have served in the military or are a family member: Please note that I am a peacetime Army veteran with specialized training and experience working with veterans who have served in combat theaters who are coping with PTSD or the relational/marital stressors and adjustment challenges of transitioning back to civilian life.
Important Update for 2023: I am currently accepting new clients for Tele-Therapy sessions (Remote counseling sessions). I no longer provide office-based sessions. I provide all counseling sessions remotely via Zoom or as regular phone sessions. Most clients prefer Zoom. I see clients on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays between 0800 am-4:00 pm and on Saturday mornings. Sessions last between 55-70 minutes. My discounted session rates for OpenPath members are: $70 for an Individual Therapy session and $80 for a Couples Therapy session. If your employer offers an EAP (Employee Assistance Plan) — I do accept ComPsych Guidance Resources EAP for one or more of your sessions. I do not take other EAP or Insurance plans. I have a 24 hr cancellation policy, and payment is expected the same day as your session via Venmo or PayPal.
