I am passionate about helping my clients feel seen and understood in their time of suffering --
with their feelings validated, their life story honored, and their weaknesses, mistakes, failures, longings, etc., accepted without a hint of judgment.
My background: I graduated from Montclair State University with a B.A. in Political Science (1994) and
obtained my M.A. in Counseling from Denver Seminary (2002). I have been a
Licensed Professoinal Counselor in Colorado (LPC #4201) since 2005.
I am trauma-informed and have been greatly influenced by person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.
For me, there is no greater job than helping clients process what hurts and what matters. Rarely are there easy fixes;
achieving long-term growth requires hard work and commitment.
As a resident of Westcliffe, Colorado, I enjoy hiking, cycling, weightlifting, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the American West. I have biked across the USA
three times, the latest trip happening in 2017. I'm a free spirit who loves encouraging others to live boldly from their heart and to pursue their
biggest, wildest dreams.
