My passions include helping clients find solutions to their relationship challenges. I am particularly interested in assisting both women and men in transition find their new balance and learn empowerment in their new roles.

My training and experience has focused on several areas: assisting with relationship dilemmas, helping aging clients and caregivers, supporting women in transition, and counseling substance abuse clients. I believe that anyone who has the desire to change has the ability to change.

My recent training has provided me with expertise as a Child and Family Investigator (CFI) for the state of Colorado. It is an intensely emotional and stressful time for couples and children as they endeavor to establish child custody, decision-making responsibilities, and child support.

I look forward to being a part of your life journey.

I am a gerontological clinical social worker, which means I am specifically trained to assist elders and their families with late life transitions and developmental challenges. Our culture believes aging is a "disease" and elders have an illness. This undervalues and underestimates the incredible opportunities and challenges inherent in aging.

My approach to psychotherapy with elders reflects my belief that aging can be a time of vibrant development and new exploration even if it takes place in the context of new or growing limitations.
