Therapy can provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to address your concerns. I have worked in the field of psychotherapy for more than 25 years and appreciate that every individual’s situation and story is unique. Empathy, humor and gentle reflection characterize my therapeutic style as I collaboratively help my clients gain a sense of resolution, well being and optimism about the challenges for which they are seeking help
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapy.
Examples of areas of expertise that clients seek help for are the following:
- Marriage and Couples therapy – help with communication, healing from infidelity
- Depression and anxiety
- Stress management
- Resolving issues of low self-esteem and low self confidence
- Women’s issues in adolescence, young adulthood, midlife and ageing
- Grief and loss
- Addiction recovery – addressing recovery challenges and changes in relationships
- Relationship conflicts in personal and work life – identifying unhealthy patterns and finding healthy solutions
- Trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - EMDR
- Effects of family of origin issues/relationships on everyday life
- Pregnancy and postpartum related concerns – infertility, depression/anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, postpartum adjustment
Whatever the reason, therapy can be helpful in navigating through myriad life changes, and provide a safe and confidential place for self exploration and growth. Reaching out for help during a personally difficult time in your life is a very courageous step to take. No one should have to shoulder their problems alone.
Please feel free to leave a confidential voice message at 303.759.9171. I look forward to talking with you and welcome any questions that you might have about the therapy process, my philosophy of treatment and what to expect.
Thank you,
