Your mental health can be like a forest trail. When you feel good, the trail can be smooth, and it can be easy to know what to expect. However, when you're depressed, anxious, or have another mental struggle, your life trail can be more challenging. What can you do? A counselor based in Thornton can help. 

Thornton is known for its trails. It has over 80 miles of trails. Life has even more miles of trails, and a counselor can help you pick the trail that’s best for you. Speak to a counselor and get to hiking.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience as a hospice grief counselor with my own private practice. My past work also includes being a librarian, professor, and oncology counselor. I definitely know what it is like to be in transition, both professionally and personally! I have certification in trauma and in tele mental health as well. In the past I have been a poetry therapist (someone who uses language as a healing modality). I support folks who are moving through any major life transition, whether it be job loss, divorce, aging, terminal illness, or family issues. My counseling style is warm and supportive. I want to be a companion with you in your process, helping you identify your own goals and strengths. I believe all of us have some natural resilience and the ability to grow and to reinvent ourselves, given the right resources and support. My experience has been that grief and loss are major issues in our life and that we can develop coping skills to successfully move forward. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and interpersonal counseling. I will work on finding the right approach for you in order to meet your needs. I look forward to hearing your story and beginning work with you!
