 Because people change, grow and find solutions in different ways, I adapt my approach to fit your needs. This means that I am not the expert about you. Together we share resources to identify and accomplish your goals. We explore what works best for you. I support you and hold a vision for what you want. I use my skills and training to collaborate with you as a team player and build upon your strengths.
I work with individuals of all ages and have services in couples and marital therapy. What I enjoy most about my work is supporting people to grow in ways they didn't think possible. I also love connecting with people on a very real and genuine level.
I received my BA in Comparative Religion and Psychology with honors at the University of Vermont in 1995. I completed my MA in Community Counseling from Adams State College in 2003. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (lic. # 91373). I have a private counseling practice and reside with my husband of 11 years and two children, ages 6 and 8 in Crestone, Colorado.
Individual Counseling: In this personal and private interaction between counselor and client, we work together on a problem or topic of interest. A one-on-one meeting with a counselor provides maximum privacy in which to explore feelings and behaviors. We establish trust and build a helping relationship.
Couples Counseling: With a growth-centered and problem-solving emphasis, couples can benefit by learning new skills and sharing in a safe environment. Couples focus on working as a team to be allied on their path.
Anxiety Issues: Working with client goals, you will overcome sources of anxiety and change fearful thought patterns. Relaxation skills and confidence building are emphasized.
Group Counseling: Through the format of discussion and group exercises opportunity is created to learn from each other. Members share ideas, give and receive feedback, increase awareness, gain new knowledge, practice skills and think about their goals and actions. Group themes include: Parenting Class, Couples Groups, Support Groups, etc.
