Clinical Experience

I am a "seasoned" therapist and life coach and have practiced psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families for over 30 years in a wide variety of clinical settings.  I have been in private practice for the past 7 years and have two office locations in Lafayette and Westminster, Colorado.  Prior to my private practice, I was an outpatient psychotherapist at Kaiser Permanente for 12 years treating a wide range of clients in terms of age, clinical presentation and diagnoses.  I have taught couples communication classes and workshops for the past 19 years.
