I started my career as a speaker for the National Council on Alcoholism in the early 1980’s. Undergraduate work at the University of Colorado was completed in Business and English in 1978. Massage therapy certification was achieved from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 1987. I received a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1992. During my counseling internship at C.U., I worked with individuals, families, and groups at a head injury clinic in Denver. After a three-year program, I became certified as an Integrative Body Psychotherapist from the Rosenberg-Kitaen Institute of Integrative Body Psychotherapy in 1995. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado in 1996.

Since 1992, I have been in full-time private practice in Denver’s Larimer Square and in Boulder, Colorado near 30th and Arapahoe. I see individuals, couples, and families. Wanting to protect my client’s confidentiality and not split my loyalties with insurance companies, I run an out-of-network, cash practice. I offer a sliding-scale fee so that people who want therapy can afford it, and I am not in an ethical bind with insurance companies.

Happily, I have assisted many individuals and couples in the Denver/Boulder area while being out of the clutches of managed care. I trust that a loving flexibility, resiliency, awareness, integration, and wholeness have been uncovered and developed for all people involved.
