Life is made up of seasons, some more challenging and darker than others. I love the gift of being able to walk alongside individuals and families through whatever season of life they may find themselves in and desire more. Trusting there is light and healing to come, we can work on old patterns of thinking and create new ways to see the world and relationships we are in so that change and growth can begin.
My clients are children, adolescents, adults, and families. I use an Integrative Approach to counseling utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches focused on the individual client. For children and some adolescents, I integrate play therapy and art therapy allowing each child/adolescent safe spaces to process difficult thoughts, memories, and feelings. With parents, we work together with all stakeholders, including physicians, schools, and family members to create the best spaces for children and adolescents to grow and flourish.
For adults, we partner together in walking through some of life’s most difficult transitions or seasons. We process trauma, grief, job loss, divorce recovery, blended families, depression, anxiety, women issues, and any number of other difficult or uncomfortable situations.
I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have had the gift of working in a variety of counseling settings including adoption/foster care, schools, hospitals, juvenile detention, and private practice and I have deeply loved each of those places.
I am from Texas and though my roots there run deep, my heart is here in Colorado. Family is my heartbeat and I absolutely cherish time with my husband and our blended family, rich with crazy, fun, talented, smart children who keep us laughing and longing for more time with each of them. We enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, traveling, and time with dear friends as often as possible.
