My experiences have been working with depression, anxiety, life changes, grief/loss, trauma, abuse , caregiver issues, loneliness,, and adjustment issues. I love working with people and have done so my entire life. Even as a teenager I worked at a therapeutic horsemanship program. People generally describe me as very intuitive , supportive, insightful,, caring and kind. Although I am also very logical and objective when appraising any situation and helping set goals. I attended the University of Texas at Arlington where earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees in social work . I also have a educational background in biology and psycho-physiology. I am very eclectic in my therapeutic approach I tend to use a combination of Person Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral , Solution Focused and Rational Emotive therapeutic techniques. I have lived in Colorado for over 20 years and enjoy being outdoors. I love hiking, camping, traveling, swimming, boating, gardening and animals. I am also a voracious reader. I am so glad that you have decided to seek assistance in your life. This is such a big step. I can’t wait to learn who you are and help you through this time in your life, whatever your circumstances.
