- Smoking CessationMy education includes a Bachelor’s Degree from McDaniel College in Philosophy, and a Master’s Degree from Naropa University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. I currently hold a Colorado LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate) as well as a CPRP (Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner) credential. I’ve also received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Evidence-Based Trauma Treatments and Interventions, Smoking Cessation, and Somatic Experiencing. I work with a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, chronic and severe anxiety, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, PTSD and related trauma disorders, eating disorders, grief & loss, substance and other addictions, compulsive behaviors, shame, gender, spiritual crises, social oppression, and sexual issues, including sexual addiction and sexual anorexia. I am at my best when using different ideas from different teachers and methodologies, recognizing that each person requires a unique combined picture of workable ideas and techniques.

- Mental HealthI work with children, aged 11, through adults of all backgrounds, mental states, and social locations, using techniques, philosophies, and practices from around the world. My life experiences – including recovery of my own mental health, varied financial status, complex social identities, chronic health issues, and some eclectic hobbies & interests – allow me to relate to a wide range of other people’s experiences, both negative and positive. It is my intention to offer a curious, compassionate, and totally accepting space to every person I work with.
