I'm a therapist who helps people with relational and behavioral issues that commonly affect couples, families, and individuals. In sessions together, we might work on improving responsiveness and understanding in your relationships, addressing and resolving behavioral concerns with yourself and/or others, healing resentments, developing and establishing boundaries, evaluating and processing marital concerns, and/or increasing intimacy and connection with your partner, to name a few.
Common individual goals that I often work with include decreasing anxiety, exploring ambivalence, supporting recovery from addiction, healing trauma, improving self-esteem, transforming shame, and reconsidering life goals.Therapy can be a great place to develop clarity about who you are, what you want, and how you currently (and alternatively could) relate to the world.

I was born in a small town in Iowa, to young parents who had just turned seventeen. They divorced when I was very young and we soon moved to Colorado, with my first step father, away from my large family. I grew up here, and developed the love for the outdoors that Colorado often inspires. Back in Iowa, my dad became a horse-trainer, and I also learned to love horseback riding in the summers.
Like Angie, I was born to teenage parents, which proved to be hard times. My folks divorced when my little brother and I were very young, and there were several times we struggled to put food on the table. I moved many times, bounced between two homes, and learned to adjust to differing parenting styles.
I grew up in a very large family, the oldest of five children. As the oldest, I helped my siblings navigate growing up, and I developed strong bonds with them. These experiences - getting to work with their varied styles of learning and life struggles - sparked a passion for helping others become the most authentic and healthy versions of themselves.
I approach therapy with a systemic lens. This means that instead of viewing challenges as exclusively stemming from individuals, I consider how many factors in peoples' lives contribute to their situations. I chose to study Marriage and Family therapy because I believe the role love has in our lives is vital and universal.
Individual therapy is a great place to explore what makes you YOU, where you feel most able to grow and thrive in the world, and how you can make changes that allow you to move towards the purposes you were created for. While it is so important to have supportive friends and family, sometimes your relationship prevents your loved ones from being objective.
