My primary goal as a therapist is to guide each person towards a deeper understanding of themselves and to help them to be able to integrate their life experiences. At times, short term therapy is the right choice. For some, recovery is a life-long process of resolving one’s thoughts and feelings which can be overwhelming without the proper tools and/or support. I try to give my clients those tools and help them have the ability to maintain their emotional toolset and balance in their lives. I have many years of experience directly working with individuals, groups, and families. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Art Therapist. I received my Master’s degree from Naropa University where I studied Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. Specialties: Adolescence, Postpartum support, Depression etc.

While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a professional counselor, a trained listener, helps alleviate emotional distress. I offer you an opportunity to face your difficulties constructively and confidently, explore your emotions, thoughts, actions, and concerns.

I work with children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. I specialize in GLBTQA issues with an emphasis in same sex couples counseling. Additionally I offer play therapy services for children aged 18 months- 12 years of age.

My philosophy with regard to therapy is the same as my philosophy in life - relationships are a way for each human being to grow into the person they wish to become. Talk therapy is the main modality I will use in our time together. Our goal will be to reveal the beliefs that are stopping you from becoming the person you want to be, and/or having the relationship that you want, and changing them. To do this, we will work as a team to discover how the relationships you have experienced in your life have formed those beliefs.

Treating an individual who copes with daily depression is a part of my work that I love. There is hope! In addition to treating individuals for depression, working with couples to create the relationship they want and need is my passion. I welcome clients of any sexual orientation.
