About Me

Many situations in life can be difficult, causing us stress and challenging us emotionally.  In my experience, individuals can overcome struggles and decrease stress by recognizing their emotions and increasing their ability to cope in future situations.  To encourage positive change and a balanced life, I focus on the individual's strengths.  I provide support for individuals as they go through life transitions and stressors, past and present traumas, grief and loss, and recovery from substance use. 

I offer a safe and compassionate environment to promote self-awareness through personal exploration while honoring the individual's process.  I value relationships and honesty and understand the many challenges that impact individuals.  With my help, individuals can heal from their struggles and find new meaning in their lives. 

My Experience 

I have a Certificate in Interpersonal Trauma and I specialize in helping individuals to decrease current symptoms caused by past experiences that may be still having an effect.  Healing is possible and I help facilitate healing by promoting personal growth, which enables individuals to lead fulfilling lives.   In addition to my private practice, I have worked in nonprofit agencies, and residential and outpatient treatment programs. I currently facilitate groups at Douglas County Support Center in Parker. I provide psychoeducational group services to adolescents enrolled at the school.

With an educational focus on Adult Challenges and Substance Use Issues, I address how substance use is often a symptoms of unresolved issues.  I have extensive experience in helping individual resolve issues related to their substance use, such as family conflicts, legal issues, professional licensure issues, and health concerns.
