Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected by the rocky paths of life can leave you feeling like you’ve lost your footing. Whether you are fighting a silent battle with anxiety, depression, or out-of-control behaviors, you don't have to figure it out alone. If you are navigating a major career crossroads, the complexities of parenting, or just the general wear-and-tear of life, there is a way forward. While I bring years of clinical training and experience to our sessions, I believe you are the ultimate expert on your own life. You don’t need someone to 'fix' you—you need an experienced co-traveler to walk alongside you, offering the insight and tools to help you find your own way back to balance.

As a counselor and the founder of Traveler Counseling in Centennial, CO, I specialize in partnering with teens (15+), adult individuals, and couples who are ready to break old cycles and shift their patterns. In our work together, I integrate evidence-based CBT, mindfulness, and internal parts work to offer a practical, grounded path forward. My background includes a 25-plus-year career in education, which gave me a front-row seat to the incredible resilience people possess when navigating change. Additionally, with 26 years of marriage and the experience of raising four children, I bring a deeply grounded, personal perspective to my work with couples navigating shifting roles, sacrifices, and the intentionality needed to keep a relationship on track over the long haul.

My Specialties Include:

• Life Transitions & Mental Health: Supporting teens (15+) and adults facing anxiety, depression, parenting exhaustion, career burnout, self-worth issues, or a loss of purpose.

• Couples & Relationships: Helping partners rebuild connection, navigate changing seasons, and resolve the communication patterns that keep them stuck.

• Addiction & Behavioral Recovery: Providing a confidential, non-judgmental space to heal from substance abuse, pornography addiction, sexual addiction, and work/performance/achievement addiction.

Through our collaborative work, my goal is to provide hope, perspective, and encouragement while equipping you with practical tools. I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to strengthen your core values and reignite your purpose, empowering you to come to healthier conclusions autonomously. You are the expert on your life; I am here to walk with you—wherever your journey takes you next.

I know that reaching out to a new therapist can feel daunting. Whether this is your first time in counseling or you are looking to re-enter therapy, my goal is to make the process as simple and inviting as possible. Reach out today to take the next step on your journey.
