I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addictions counselor. I have a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s degree in school counseling. I worked at Arapahoe House in the residential treatment center helping people learn how to fight addiction. Prior to this, I was a high school counselor for 2 years and taught high school and middle school mathematics for 15 years. I am a member of the ACA (American Counseling Association) and EMDRIA (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association).

I have been drawn to counseling after working through my own addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I want to be able to help others deal with these issues and more. I am married and have 2 daughters, 1 stepdaughter, 1 stepson, and 3 son-in-laws. I also have 2 miniature Australian Shepherds. I enjoy running, hiking, biking, and reading (when I can find the time). I have lived in Colorado since 2007 and am a transplant from Arizona, where I spent most of my early years.
