EMDR Certified Therapist with 20 years of counseling experience. Experience with first responders, critical incident response, and trauma care.

I work with people in the natural processes of transition and trauma healing as a relational Art therapist. With support, people explore their unique inner landscapes through art therapy: tracking the weather and nurturing the foundation with color and form. I work with people who feel deeply, and those seeking support with voice, grief, mood, and identity. I offer a brave space for LGBT and other marginalized people, and I commit to discussions of privilege.

Art therapy is the blend of creative process and therapeutic support as exploration, growth, and healing for people of all abilities. I use a variety of art materials, your interests, and years of theoretical research. I also draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Sand-tray, and Play Therapy.

I am happy to offer sliding scale at this time. Thank you.

I have been in full-time private practice since 1977, and have been professionally involved in ways; most currently the "elder" and administrator of the Denver Private Practice Network. In 2010 I recieved the NASW Colorado Chapter Lifetime Achievement Award.

In each of us lies a deep wisdom and innate capacity for healing. That wisdom lies within our hearts, minds and bodies. Every moment is an opportunity to explore and discover our fullest potential. The human self is not a static entity. We are always unfolding and becoming. Sometimes, trauma cuts us off from this process of unfolding. Many of us have learned habitual coping strategies in response to traumatic environments. Later in life, these strategies may become "fixed" and automatic. This can lead us to feeling constricted, limiting our capacity for connection with the world around us.

Life doesn't have to be that way. I'd love to help you re-connect with your own aliveness.
