Therapist

Hello and welcome!

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years experience, I believe our relationships are central and vital to our happiness - they can enrich us, and/or bring us pain.

I help couples work through major life issues, decide if they want to stay together, and enact that decision with respect for each person. We dig deep and have the difficult conversations in a safe environment.

All relationships are embraced and affirmed.

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.
