My Approach to Therapy
I believe in helping you develop practical skills to use in real life, so you feel more confidence and ease in day-to-day interactions. Insight is valuable, but there's more to therapy than understanding your past and yourself. In developing skills like self-compassion, you can learn to be kinder to yourself when things don't go perfectly, which can reduce anxiety. In learning how to self-regulate, you can be more authentic and assertive in your communication with others, which can lead to less people-pleasing, healthier boundaries, or greater fulfillment in relationships. These are just a few of the skills that I help clients develop in therapy, in both individual and couple work.
If you're motivated to make real change, contact me for a free initial phone consultation. Or visit my website for more details about my therapy practice.
My Practice & Services
I am curious, compassionate and experienced. I've been a therapist in Denver for over 20 years and still love what I do. I've worked with clients of all ages in individual, family and couple therapy, and am now focusing my practice on adults, including older adults, and couples.
I like to begin the counseling process with a phone consultation (free) so we can get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit for each other. One important factor in successful therapy outcomes is a strong working relationship between therapist and client.
If we decide to move forward, the first session will include some information gathering and goal-setting so we both know the focus of your work moving forward. The focus may change over time, which is why I like to revisit goals for therapy periodically to ensure the process continues to feel valuable and effective.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
Let's be honest: therapy takes resources of time, energy and money. Which is why I want you to get the most out of your experience in therapy by not only gaining a better understanding of yourself and others, but developing practical skills you can use between sessions, and take with you long after you've finished therapy.
You are unique and your therapy should be, too. I customize your treatment and my interventions based on your personality, culture, presenting problems and other considerations to optimize your time in therapy. I check in with my clients often to understand how they're feeling about the process and if they're making progress toward their goals.
Financially, it might help to consider the investment you make in therapy as an investment in your future - something that has the potential to impact you for the rest of your life - long after you've stopped paying for it.
And unlike A.I., or chat services, therapy is confidential, and therapists abide by federal (HIPAA) and state laws, and professional ethical codes to protect you. Additionally, therapists have lived experience, genuine empathy, and can challenge you and your beliefs to disrupt harmful patterns or narratives.
