Cool, CA - Accepting clients in CA

With nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals, children, teens, and families, I have been actively focusing on teletherapy for the past 5 years, ensuring that clients receive high-quality care and support regardless of their location. My career began in community-based therapy, where my out-of-the-box style was nurtured and reinforced. In these settings, families, teens, and children often felt labeled as hopeless, both internally and externally by agencies such as schools, social services, and probation. My approach has always been to meet clients where they are, both literally and figuratively, helping them discover better coping mechanisms and become more effective in their lives. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, gaining insight and tools to manage them effectively. My approach to therapy is flexible, out of the box, and adaptable to each individual's unique needs. I prioritize creating a comfortable environment where clients feel at ease expressing themselves, helping them achieve meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

I believe in a holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual), culturally sensitive, person centered approach to therapy. I have a great interest and passion in perinatal/ postnatal work as well as life transitions, grief and loss and caregiver support (whether caregiving for a child, spouse, parent or family member). I integrate inner strength, stress management, self-care, physical health and many other aspects of wellness into sessions. I strive to provide an authentic and non- judgmental environment that can be humorous and fun, as well as vulnerable and challenging. Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population. I am very intentional about creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic relationship and I believe that this is essential for change and growth when engaging in therapy. I am humbled to begin working with you.

I get it - you are busy, tired, and overwhelmed. Therapy seems like just more on your To Do list. I am here to support, guide, and cheer you on to making positive change a reality in your life. Together, we will find a reasonable and compassionate way forward. Together, we will develop an action-oriented plan to achieve your goals for a better life. Together, we will identify barriers to progress as they occur and creative, realistic ways to move beyond them. I bring 37 years of experience in healthcare to my work, first as a physical therapist, specializing in neurological disorders. Shifting focus from physical to mental health, I completed graduate studies at Naropa University, earning a Master's in Mindfulness-Based Counseling Psychology. On retreat, I have trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli, formerly of the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and studied Buddhism and meditation in sangha with Lloyd Burton, a Dharma teacher from Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Recognizing the impact of spirituality on health, I also studied pastoral care at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. I have worked with clients in hospitals, private practice, and home-based family-centered care. I have taught mindfulness meditation, stress management, and health behavior change nationally to doctors, allied healthcare professionals, businesses, and government agencies, as well as an invited speaker at professional conferences and universities. When not working, I enjoy vintage car shows with my son, who is on the Autism Spectrum, and rock climbing in the beautiful Colorado Rockies.
