I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in community mental health, educational and private practice settings. Prior to that, I spent 20 years in pastoral ministry. I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2008 from Northwestern Oklahoma State University, and soon after moved to Northwest New Mexico/Southwest Colorado. My professional experience includes: Administrator of a Residential Treatment Center, Clinical Administrator for Children's Behavioral Health, Student Assistance Coordinator for a school district, Visiting Professor at a School of Social Work, Private Practice, Outpatient Clinical Manager, Health Services Coordinator for a school district, and Integrated Behavioral Health Provider in a family medical practice setting. In addition to working with high risk/high needs children and adolescents, I work primarily with trauma as well as anxiety and depression. I also serve as a Certified First Responder Counselor.
I’ve been providing counseling since the 1990s. I hold a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I’m also a tenured psychology professor. My clients tend to share certain worries and concerns that might best be summed up as feeling a sense of meaninglessness, being unproductive, and not relating well with others. I work with both individuals and couples. Among my clients are young adults trying to sort things out, medically compromised patients, adults waylaid by life and relationship transitions, and people struggling with anxiety and depression.
I believe that people can heal when they feel heard & understood.
I help people in all life stages navigate transitions, repair and reconnect in their relationships, overcome anxiety and loss, and cultivate courage to change.
As a person-centered therapist, I energize your strengths so you can identify the solutions. I specialize in children and teens who have experienced trauma and the families that support them. I'm here to walk with you, remind you of your greatness, and witness your growth. Your experience is uniquely yours!
