Masters in Social Work
Many of life's challenges can take us by surprise and feel too difficult to overcome. During these times, speaking with someone can be really helpful. My goal is to make everyone feel comfortable, heard, loved and supported during life's challenges.
I received my Master’s of social work from the University of Denver in 2006 and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2019. My background includes working with adolescents to build resiliency, empowerment, and personal strengths. I believe each individual is unique and to unlock the potential of growth is tuning into these passions and unique selves.As each individual is different so is the therapy utilized. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationships. At times, I will utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This past summer, I was trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) which is an approach to working with trauma. I have been a part of the FLC community for several years and look forward to continuing to work with students here on campus.
I was raised on a small ranch outside of Durango. My spouse and I enjoy watching our two boys play sports and participate in other extra-curricular activities. I enjoy spending time with my family, working the farm, camping, fishing and hiking.
My hope is that we can build a meaningful therapeutic relationship, and that you leave feeling safe, heard and seen. It is an honor to serve you and be along for this part of your journey in life.
