Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Mountain View Counseling, LLC
I have worked in the mental health and education fields since 1992. I have retired from the education field to focus all my energy on a clinical private practice. I am passionate about helping people work through life’s challenges in order to thrive and live their best life.
In my practice I see adults in my office in Woodland Park or virtually through Tele-therapy. I utilize an eclectic approach based on the needs and desired outcomes of my clients.
Please contact me to assist you on the path to happiness and well being.
One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you--your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported.
No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and a greater appreciation for your ability to reach your goals. Long term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness.

Hi there. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Hello, come on in. It is great to meet you!
I am both naturally empathetic and curious. The combination of these two qualities creates a strong desire to understand the inner workings of every person I meet. Every person has their own story and every story deserves to be listened to with care and curiosity. Therapy can be spent individually, as a family, or as a couple.
Come on in.
At this stage of life, I have passed through many life transitions and challenges as we all do, which increases my capability to empathize with and appreciate your experiences of change, challenge, and loss. In other words, I get it when you share your story and concerns with me.
