I am a caring, patient listener with an optimistic attitude which helps bring hope into people's lives. When I am not working I enjoy time with friends and family pursuing outdoor adventures and travel. I look forward to hearing about your life and together with you creating a plan to create positive change and greater mental health. I graduated from University of Colorado at Denver with a Masters of Arts (MA) in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Couple & Family therapy, in 2007.
I also have a BA in Psychology from University of Michigan (1999). I have earned the credentials of National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Throughout my entire career path I have worked in helping, teaching, and healing positions. I have worked in schools with special populations and in recreation and outdoor adventure programs, before starting my degree in Counseling Psychology.
Since earning a MA I have worked in community mental health crisis response, in addiction treatment programs, in a supervised visitation parenting program, and as a facilitator of a support group for childhood sexual abuse survivors.

Services
My mission is to provide high quality, professional mental health services to individuals, couples, and families within a client-centered, strength-based, developmental perspective, which works to empower clients to make positive changes in their lives from a non-pathological and preventative stance.
I have skills, knowledge, and experience working with adults and children who are experiencing distress due to life's challenges and/or mental disorders.
I have a calm, caring presence which allows my clients to feel comfortable and confident while I empower them to use their own wisdom, educate them on new resources, and enable them to look at their experiences through new perspectives.
