Welcome to 2025! This is the year of adaptation and transformation. Who will you become this year?
In my own preparation, I will be in personal retreat through the end of January 2025. I will resume my normal working hours on February 3, 2025.
We are the most adaptable species on this planet and yet, change is hard and scary for so many of us. We resist it. And this causes suffering. Like it or not, change is one thing in life we can count on. Many try to control their surroundings, or other people, in order to feel safe. I have secret to tell you. That doesn't work. A feeling of emotional safety comes from within. Let me show you how to get there.
I use my years of training and experience in the field of clinical psychology and overall life experience to help you understand the language of your soul. So much of what our bodies and psyches are telling us is mis-interpreted in ways that keep us stuck, or worse, do more harm. Let me teach you how to understand yourself better, heal old wounds, and move forward with the life that you want.
Greater self knowledge helps yourself and others in innumerable ways. When we know ourselves, we can better articulate our needs, set necessary boundaries, engage in self care and self soothing, and learn to depend on ourselves rather than feeling dependent on others to make us feel better.
In short- we can take full responsibility for our lives and feel a sense of freedom and independence. This leads to deeper relationships and greater quality of life.
Know thyself. I am here to help you understand YOU better.
I love to learn and grow. That has been and continues to be the consistent part of my life's path. I've been lucky enough to work in a variety of industries and settings, live in a number of places, and explore different interests on my journey to find my true calling.
My early work life took me from a veterinary clinic to pharmacy to chemical research and development to sales. I learned through these experiences that what I need is to interact with people in a real way and that I care more about a person's well being than I do about their ability to buy something. I also learned that time is precious and I want to spend my time in ways that contribute to the world being a better place rather than in ways that take away from it. Time and presence is more important than money.
I earned a bachelor degree in chemistry with a minor in Spanish in 1994. I began doing a significant amount of volunteer work with elders and the dying in 2004. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology in 2013. I became independently licensed and opened my own psychology practice in 2016. In 2017, my husband and I took 3 months off to live and travel out of a camper van. And then we did it again in 2023.
In 2024, I decided to inactivate my psychology license and work solely as a consultant and mentor. This change gave me the freedom to work both nationally and internationally and more importantly, to work from a humanistic framework rather than a clinical one.
I work individually with adults of all ages. I do not work with persons under 18 years old. Appointments are typically 60 minutes, although I can do 75 or 90 minutes by request. I work both via phone or video. If you are local to Palisade or Clifton, CO, I can do in person sessions and will come to you.
My standard fee is $150/hour for single sessions.
Packages of 5 sessions can be purchased for $675 ($135/hour)
Packages of 10 sessions for $1200 ($120/hour) are also available.
Payment is due at the end of each session unless other arrangements have been made. I accept cash, local checks and credit cards. Please note that I charge an extra fee to process credit card payments. I also accept payment via Zelle and Venmo. I am also open to discussions about barter.
Use the form below to email me or leave a message at (928) 215-1039. Let's set up a time to talk; typically 20-30 minutes (no charge) to see if it makes sense to book an appointment. If so, we'll set up an hour session at half price ($75), where we can both see if this is a good fit. After the hour, we'll talk about how to move forward. If it's not a good fit, I'm happy to direct you to someone who might be.
Thank you for visiting my site. Wishing you a lovely day!
