My passion is to see people living out God’s purpose for their lives with health and wholeness. At the heart of my work is a desire to share with people the expansive love of God; and to see this amazing love transform people’s lives and relationships. I would find it a great honor to meet you where you are and walk with you toward your goals.

I have experience in counseling children, teens, couples, and men of all ages. I have particular experience and training to help people with depression and anxiety, grief and loss,men’s issues (anger, self-worth, addiction), OCD, ADD/ADHD, relationship stress, spiritual direction, and career counseling. The common modalities I use in therapy are Person-Centered, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor through the State of Colorado with experience in the field of professional and pastoral counseling since 2000. I have a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary and served as Pastor to Youth and Families for six years. In 2011, I earned a Masters of Education in Counseling and Career Development from Colorado State University. In 2013, I became an Ordained Minister through the Evangelical Covenant Church.

My clients often comment on the compassion they receive from me and the safety they feel to share their pain without fear of judgment. In an atmosphere of safety and respect, I have seen clients make significant strides toward the life they want to live.

In regards to fees and payment, I offer many options to fit your budget. I can bill your insurance and accept a co-pay, or I offer a sliding fee based on your gross household income. I provide both teletherapy and in-person sessions.

The way to know if I’m the right counselor for you is to schedule an appointment. I’m also open to speaking with prospective clients with a short phone call. Such a conversation may help you decide if you want to schedule an appointment.

I invite you to call the front desk at Light of the Rockies to check my wait-list and to schedule an appointment at (970)484-1735. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I am glad you are braving the search for a counselor. It is my heart for people to heal, grow, and recover from whatever suffering they may be encountering. My goal is to offer help, healing, compassion, and hope to those I serve. Part of my approach to counseling includes providing connection, a safe space to be heard, giving information and resources, problem solving, and I do believe in the power of prayer (should you desire that to be part of our time together). Some of my experience includes working as a therapist with children and adolescents in foster care, as well as the families that cared for them. I have been in private practice with children, individuals, couples and families. For the past 14 years I have been doing clinical care coordination, assisting with crisis stabilization and resourcing at the inpatient level.

I believe in the importance of a “whole person” approach, that symptoms can be resolved, while addressing the larger whole of what contributes to one’s daily life and functioning. I do believe in the biopsychosocial model. I have an eclectic/integrationist orientation that has evolved in the 20 years that I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor. Recovery, healing and growth can happen in any number of ways for people. Primary modalities I reference would be narrative, person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety and 12 step informed materials are my favorite tools for assisting those recovering from PTSD and/or Substance Abuse.

Populations:

Children, Adolescents, Individuals and Families

Areas of concentration include:

Abuse, Addictions (substance and other), Grief/Loss, Mood/Anxiety/Depression, Identity formation and exploration, suicidal thoughts and para suicidal behaviors, Individual and Family Recovery work. It is my goal to also provide Clinical Supervision for Counselors in training in the near future.

Personal:

When not working, I will be found spending time with family—both of origin and church family, friends, lots of dog walking, playing Frisbee golf, at the gym, biking, hiking, outdoor time, love cooking when there is time, listening to Podcasts, books on Audible, music on Spotify, and generally doing what helps fill my bucket. I look forward to meeting you!

I suspect you’re reading this because you might feel stuck, or maybe some part of life feels out of control and unmanageable. First off, I applaud your courage to engage the process of change. Looking for a counselor can be daunting…but it’s an important first step, in a very important journey. My hope is that you find just the right person to walk with you as you take a look at your story and uncover things that need care and attention. I’m always honored to be the person who gets to sit with people, look over their stories, process and grieve, and find the way forward together.

I’m a narrative therapist, which means I believe each of our stories is complex and very telling as to who we are created to be. I believe our essence can get lost along the way, but that it can be found again through kindness, hard work, and discovering who God says we are meant to be. I practice trauma-informed care, and borrow the wisdom from many therapeutic modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy. I also use the 12-step addiction and recovery model.

I’ve lived abroad for 13 years (1 year in Russia and 12 years in Thailand) and am familiar with the joys and challenges of living overseas as an expat and a missionary. I’ve dealt with lots of transition personally, and have walked with clients as they process transition, too. I was a foster parent and am passionate about supporting foster parents as they do this vital work. I taught elementary school for 7 years and have done play therapy with a variety of kids. I also believe strongly that access to mental health is important to all populations, not only those in privileged positions. I count it an honor to work with people whose ethnic or spiritual backgrounds are different from my own. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University in 2000, my master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University in 2012, and was trained in trauma-informed care through Boise State University’s Refugee Services program, as well as my foster parent training classes.

You can expect to be received with kindness and without judgement. I hope you find the person that will best support you as you heal and grow. If you think that I might be your person, please email me or call the Light of the Rockies office to schedule an appointment.

Areas of concentration:

  • Trauma-informed counseling/EMDR
  • Depression
  • Identity/self-esteem
  • Grief
  • Foster parenting
