What is your approach to therapy?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent coach, and former educator with 36 years of experience helping children, teens, parents, couples, and families move from conflict and overwhelm to greater calm, confidence, and connection.

I specialize in working with families navigating autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, school challenges, and family conflict. I also help parents reduce daily power struggles, improve communication, and respond with greater confidence and consistency.

I believe lasting change happens by looking at the whole picture—not just the symptoms. My work considers the child, the parent, the family system, and the school environment to identify the patterns that keep families stuck. Together, we develop practical, individualized strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

My goal in our first session is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, explore the challenges you're facing, and identify what's keeping you or your family feeling stuck.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns, clarify your goals, and create practical next steps that feel realistic and manageable.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, you'll leave our first session with a better understanding of what's happening and a clear direction for moving forward.

Small town living is a special kind of living. I have lived in northeastern Colorado my entire life, except for a short 5 years in Olympia, WA. I understand small town life.

I decided to become a therapist 14 years ago and completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy.

Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Aurora, CO

Finding family therapists in Aurora starts with understanding what your family wants help with and what kind of support fits best. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and changes across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Aurora therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, parenting support, family systems, or experience working with children, teens, and caregivers.

Aurora has a range of therapists across the city, and virtual appointments can expand your options when travel, school schedules, or work hours make in-person sessions harder to coordinate. Family therapy may include the full family, smaller groups within the family, or individual members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, session structure, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. This can help you understand how they work with families before the first session.

Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare therapists in Aurora, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
