Background/More About Me
I hold a Master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado, a CACREP-accredited counseling program, with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Colorado State University. - Read More
I have been in the counseling field since 2010, and have worked with adults, children, adolescents, groups, couples, and families. I currently work with individual adult clients, couples, and adult families.
I love helping clients through life transitions and difficulties such as relationship challenges, divorce, sexual concerns, menopause, midlife crisis, family struggles with adult children, and retirement.
In addition to my direct experience with clients, I have supervised and mentored other therapists, managed a clinical counseling team, and worked in large corporate settings outside of the counseling field. I have served as a teaching assistant in multiple counseling and psychology courses at CSU, and have served in a number of leadership capacities. I have delivered speeches on many different topics, including topics for first responders, resilience, hypervigilance, grief, bullying, the importance of exercise and nutrition in mental health, and finding inspiration from adversity and divorce.
I have written and contributed to articles for several publications and websites, including “Counseling Today,” a publication of the American Counseling Association, the websites www.deepsoulfullove.com, www.insidehook.com , and Giddy – The Authority on Sexual Health (getmegiddy.com). I have been interviewed about my practice and approach by different individuals and organizations for podcasts and videos about topics such as divorce, bullying, child abuse, affair recovery, hypervigilance, seasonal affective disorder, and first responder issues.
I give back to the community in ways that speak to me personally. I am a regular (volunteer) presenter for Second Saturday Divorce Workshops for Women and am involved with the Red Cross and PEO (Philanthropic Educational Organization), a charitable organization that supports women in education. I am a co-chair of the Program for Continuing Education committee and help women returning to college after a break apply for grants.
In my nearly 50 years on this planet, I have had many life experiences that have forced me to grow, learn about myself, find my strongest self, and help me see others’ pain in a deep and familiar way. - Read More
For example, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of trying to raise really good humans, and have done a lot that work as a single parent or step-parent. I’ve experienced divorce, loss, blending families, and deep struggle (emotionally, financially, professionally), and have been pushed to find my inner advocate so I could keep going. I grew up in a small farming town in Illinois, so I appreciate humility, hard work, being outside, and kindness, and incorporate these core values into my life.
Additionally, I would never expect clients to do difficult work on themselves that I haven’t had to do myself! As a counselor, I believe it is crucial that I continue doing my own self-growth through receiving my own counseling, coaching, reading, continuing education, and consultations with peers. In addition to my career interests, I enjoy boxing, camping/backpacking, dancing, learning, exploring other cultures, reading, hiking, fly-fishing, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. I find humor and a growth mindset to be two of the most important qualities in my own journey.
Please feel free to ask me questions about my training, work experience, or philosophy about counseling!
