About
As a counselor, educator, and author with over 2 decades of experience in psychotherapy, specializing in sexuality, addictions, and psycho-emotional issues, I bring a rich and varied range of expertise to my work, grounded in a compassionate, client-centered orientation.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging transitions. My approach combines compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based strategies to help clients find healing, balance, and empowerment. I specialize in relationship issues, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and personal growth, and I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients can reconnect with their strengths and begin to thrive.
I earned my Master’s in Marriage, Family, and Child Psychology from the University of Phoenix. My therapeutic style integrates person-centered care with experiential and reality-based approaches, focusing on developing insight, building healthy communication, and strengthening emotional resilience.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I look forward to helping you find clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of self.

Alcohol addiction counseling in Westminster can help people manage their urges to consume alcohol. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as issues that their addiction may stem from, like trauma.
Alcohol addiction counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing alcohol addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Westminster, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How can you tell if you have an alcohol problem? This is a hard question to answer, alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the US and not everybody who drinks heavily is actually addicted. Alcoholics Anonymous suggest that ‘having a physical dependency on alcohol and a mental compulsion to consume it’ are the requirements for someone to be considered an addict. The compulsion is the key differentiator – a heavy drinker will make a choice to consume in excess, whereas an addict does not have such a luxury. Some common signs that could indicate an addiction include:
The causes of alcohol addiction are varied and complex. Whilst it is commonly believed to be a purely genetic problem, passing from one generation to the next, this is not the case. Alcohol addiction develops over time and many different environmental and psychological factors influence its progression. A useful analogy would be to think of the genetic elements as the kindling of the fire and the environmental and psychological factors as the spark that starts the fire going.
Recovering from an alcohol addiction is a long and hard road indeed. Even the long sober ex-alcoholics still refer to themselves as addicts. But despite this difficulty, many addicts manage to permanently stop consuming alcohol. Medical supervision and counseling are recommended throughout the process of recovery. Here at Thriveworks in Westminster CO, our addiction counselors specialize in methods proven to help you throughout your rehabilitation.
We tailor our methods to fit the individual client and hope to help put you on your path to recovery. Reach out to us now to schedule your first sessions.
