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.

Aging and opportunity
This quote has more meaning to me as I look at turning 45 in 2015. In some ways I do feel stronger as I get older. Opportunity is always there. I do not think I always knew this. You have to look for it and it may not always be obvious. There is so much information...
Underneath her Clothes: A Woman that Inspires Me
I watched this video and felt sadness at first. In the video, the woman tells a story about her partner (a man) not wanting to go out with her because she was “too old, I don’t want to be seen with you in public.” She is honest about aging and how she feels about it....
