I am a behavioral health counselor and clinical supervisor in Denver, conveniently located between Denver Tech Center, Cherry Creek, and Aurora. I offer therapy in English and Spanish for adults and adolescents, specializing in chronic pain and substance abuse.

I really enjoy working with people who are wanting to make positive changes in their lives. When your best efforts aren't bringing about the change you are looking for it may be time to work with a professional to get some new ideas. I provide telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant video platform. I am licensed in both NC and Colorado.

Why manage stress when you can get rid of it? I am a Clinical Psychophysiologist, and I specialize in helping people Decrease Stress & Increase Wellness. Patients who work with me often notice progress towards their goals during the first session.

You deserve to feel safe in your body. Whether you live with chronic illness, chronic pain, have a history of trauma and anxiety or just want to feel more comfortable in your body, somatic counseling can help build a mind/body connection that leaves you feeling empowered rather than disconnected or afraid.

If you have been seeking solutions to problems without resolution, or you have tried therapy before without success, contact me to discuss a new path. People often look for ways to eliminate bad feelings, or ways to understand their past. You may have declared that you don't want certain things in your life; but as soon as you say that you don't want something the problems expand. I will work with you to find a workable solution - a way to live your life in accordance with your values, and to develop a willingness to be present in your life.

In my psychotherapy sessions, I like to include Biofeedback monitoring of heart rate and breathing chemistry to give me useful information in treatment planning and to help empower clients in greater self-regulation/self-control. I provide many skills for clients to practice. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral techniques along with psychophysiological (biofeedback), transpersonal, and Somatic Experiencing stress and trauma release approaches. I also work with optimizing performance in any area whether sports, music, speaking, acting, or reducing anxiety.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy in addition to supervising other therapists. My passion for helping people in their lives only continues to increase over the years. The feedback I receive is how well understood they feel in the therapy. I have over 18 years of involvement in peer supervision with major emphasis on couples and families. I teach the techniques of mindfulness to assist individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. Pain management,habit control or cessation as well a weight loss responds well to mindful awareness which is part of my practice. With many years of using hypnosis as well as EMDR I have found that these tools offer a full range of possible application to PTSD as well as other forms of anxiety disorders. Beyond problem solving in depth psychotherapy is actualizing personal growth which is at the heart of real change and transformation. I have found when people learn the how to of making these changes they have understandings that can last a lifetime.

I approach a client's concerns from a here and now, rapid change perspective. I believe that when we take action to improve ourselves or our circumstances, our attitude and feelings follow suit. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, and have worked with many types of people and almost every kind of problem. I strive to balance empathy and sensitivity with helping people to move forward in the change process.

We are all far more beautiful, capable, and courageous than we realize, but sometimes we need to be reminded. The pain we face often feels like a roadblock or even torture. But if you have to face anxiety, angst, or depression, why not allow your experience to be part of your unfolding? I help people use their struggles as an opportunity for growth. This kind of therapy goes beyond symptom relief, allowing you to find or reconnect with your authentic self in the process.

Anxiety, depression, relationships, work and career, rehabilitation, health and personal wellness are some of the things which challenge us across life. Mapping a way forward can bring a positive sense of relief when these concerns are addressed, and sometimes, at a surprisingly brisk pace.

I specialize in a variety of techniques, including EMDR. My social work studies trained me to assess people from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective. This means I will help you find solutions in the context of your environment and experience. You'll develop a variety of coping skills and be given the right tools to manage your individual symptoms.

Life isn't always easy. Even happy occasions can cause emotional stress and anxiety. Utilizing resources such as counseling doesn't mean you are weak or flawed. Instead, it is a sign of courage and awareness that you believe life doesn't have to be this hard and you are willing to do the work to create change. As a client-focused therapist, my primary objective is to provide a safe and trust-worthy environment where, with warmth and compassion, I will guide you through the exploration of your struggles and help you create a more fulfilling life.

Many adults, of all ages, whom I see are facing the stress of unexpected changes in their family or marriage relationships, personal friendships, work life, and other areas. These challenges we face with change can affect our self-esteem and the level of anxiety or depression we may experience. As a psychologist, I am very familiar with these concerns and offer my expertise and a compassionate presence in which to develop the trust essential to working together. It's all about being committed to living the life you want; a life that embraces your values with the determination to make it happen.

I am not accepting new clients but I DO HAVE OPENINGS in my online classes for sleep and chronic pain. Have you found yourself asking why you feel down when things around you seem to be going so well? Do you sometimes feel disconnected from the joy you once felt, and are now overwhelmed by just moving through your day? Sadness and worry can be difficult to manage on the best of days, and even harder when you can't quite put your finger on what has you feeling out of sorts. Working together, we can get to the bottom of what's troubling you and develop new strategies and solutions to the questions that are distressing you.

The healing process is a unique experience for each of us. I work with people who want to do the work that it takes to get well and are committed to trusting the therapy process. I am a genuine and compassionate therapist. I am direct, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and experienced. I will collaborate with you at your own pace as a gentle guide to explore your goals, create clear and measurable objectives for change, and promote personal growth.
