Blogs
Welcome
I am a counselor in Denver and this city, the people and all of the events happening right now impact me. While counseling is about the individual, we can’t get away from the fact that I have my own thoughts and feelings, which influence my approach.
Because of this, I think it’s important for you to know a little about me. To help with that understanding, I add posts and blogs about me as well as other important subjects such as depression, anxiety, aging, transitions, and the community. I also like to post about people who inspire me.
You’ll notice that you can search by subject or date. I hope the information will be helpful to you and your search for a counselor. I am happy to talk with you about any of these topics and to determine if I am good fit for you and your needs. Please email me or call.
