I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado with over 13 years of experience in the field. I have experience working with a wide age range, adolescents through adults, and with a diverse population. My own journey of personal and spiritual growth has led me to help others achieve success. I believe in the power of mentors and coaches, and in identifying opportunities for growth and fulfillment. My goal in assisting my clients, especially adolescents and young adults, is to help them break through their perceived limitations and live their best life. If you are willing to do the work, I’ll be right beside you! I also work with individuals seeking emotional recovery from trauma, and those overcoming drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. I use several modalities with my clients, including traditional counseling and life coaching, Solution-Focused and Strengths Based approaches, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and physical activity and exercise. In 2016, I published my first book ,“Toxic Terms: 10 Things Never to Say to Kids…But What You Can Say Instead.” Background: • MS in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University • Licensed therapist, life coach, certified personal trainer • Licensed professional counselor • National Board Certified teacher in early adolescent science • Certified Climbing Wall Instructor, American Mountain Guides Association
