As an experienced and dedicated psychotherapist, I work with individuals in the Denver, Boulder and Longmont area,  helping them to heal, and to bring out the best of what lies within. By providing a safe therapeutic environment to facilitate personal growth, I empower my clients to reach their goals. In giving them the tools and skills necessary to build healthy relationships and to develop positive self-esteem, I help them to lead more fulfilling lives.

When individuals grow up in dysfunctional families where their emotional needs go unmet, what can gradually develop within them is an emotional void and a sense of emptiness. Later in life, these same individuals may try to fill this void or to anesthetize their pain with addictions such as alcoholism, substance abuse, workaholism, or compulsive overeating.

In helping my clients to understand the connection between their past and their present, they learn to break old patterns, allowing them to move forward in their lives. When freed from the destructive aspects of their pasts, they can make healthy life choices in the present.
