I provide a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet various needs. For those seeking personal growth or facing life’s challenges, I offer individual therapy, focusing on areas such as anxiety, stress, and personal development. Couples looking to strengthen their relationship can benefit from my couples therapy sessions, where we work on communication, trust, and intimacy.

Beyond therapy, I offer success and life coaching for individuals aiming to achieve specific goals, make significant life changes, or enhance their overall life satisfaction. My approach combines practical strategies with deep insights into personal motivations and barriers.

Additionally, I contribute to the mental health and success fields through writing, sharing articles, and insights on relevant topics. I’m also available for public speaking engagements, including workshops and seminars, particularly specializing in managing and understanding anxiety.

The consultation process starts when you click one of the “Let’s Begin” buttons on my homepage, leading you to a short questionnaire and the registration form. After you register, you’ll get access to a FREE personal messaging room dedicated to our communication. In this secure space, you’re encouraged to tell me more about what you’re going through, be it mental health challenges or aspirations for self-improvement.

In your messaging room, I’m here to answer all your questions and address any concerns. We can communicate via text, audio, or video messages, depending on what’s most convenient for you. If my schedule allows, we can also have a brief live chat to get to know each other better. This initial consultation is crucial for me to understand how I can best support you on your journey.

In the first session, you can expect a welcoming and open space where the focus is primarily on getting to know you. I’ll spend time understanding your current circumstances, beliefs, perceptions, and philosophies, as well as what you hope to achieve through our sessions. These initial meetings are all about learning from your experiences, perspectives, and goals. I’ll ask various questions and listen attentively to your story, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your unique journey.

This time is also for you to ask any questions you might have about me or the process we’ll be undertaking together. It’s important that you feel comfortable and informed, so no question is too small or insignificant.

Additionally, we’ll start laying the groundwork for our path forward. This might include discussing initial thoughts on strategies or approaches that could benefit you, based on what I learn about you. Remember, these sessions are collaborative and adaptive to your needs, setting the stage for our journey ahead.

Each session typically lasts about 50 minutes, though this can be adjusted based on our agreed-upon plan.

Your privacy and confidentiality are my top priorities. Every session and piece of information you share with me is treated with the utmost respect and discretion, adhering to professional ethical standards. Rest assured, confidentiality is only breached when legally required, such as in situations where there is a risk of harm.

Additionally, the website you’ll be using to communicate and share information is SSL certified, ensuring that all data exchanged is securely encrypted. It is also HIPAA compliant, meeting the standards for protecting sensitive patient health information.

Upon registering and initiating a consultation with me, you will receive comprehensive documentation on informed consent and the limits of confidentiality. This ensures you are fully informed about how your information is handled and the protections in place to safeguard your privacy throughout our sessions.

To schedule a session with me, begin by clicking one of the “Let’s Begin” buttons on my website, which leads you to a brief questionnaire designed to capture your needs and objectives. Completing this questionnaire transitions you into the registration process, granting you FREE access to a personal account and messaging room for direct communication with me.

Within your account, head to the “Booking” section to view my session availability. Here, you have the flexibility to select your session time and also choose the type of session you prefer: live chat, phone, or video, ensuring the session format aligns with your comfort and convenience.

Additionally, you’ll be prompted to select a payment method and input insurance details if you plan to use insurance. Please note, confirmation of your booking requires either payment or insurance information.

Once your booking is confirmed, you can easily view your upcoming sessions by revisiting the “Booking” tab in your account. This process is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, making it easy for us to concentrate on your path to improvement and fulfillment.

I value both our time and the commitment we make to each other in scheduling sessions. To honor this, I’ve established a cancellation policy that accommodates flexibility while upholding our scheduled commitments.

Timely Cancellations: If you need to cancel a session, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me to offer your time slot to someone else in need. For cancellations made with more than 24 hours’ notice, you will receive a session credit, enabling you to reschedule at your convenience without any additional cost.

Self-Pay Clients: For cancellations made less than 24 hours before your session or if you do not show up, a $60 fee will be charged. If you have prepaid for your session ($125), the difference ($65) will be credited to your account for future use.

Insurance Clients: A late cancellation or no-show will incur a $60 fee, payable out-of-pocket, as insurance does not cover missed appointments.

I understand that life can be unpredictable, and emergencies happen. If you find yourself in an exceptional situation, please communicate with me in the message room. I am more than willing to discuss and accommodate genuine emergencies, ensuring our policy is fair and compassionate.

For Therapy:
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I’m excited to offer therapeutic services to clients from any country outside the United States, welcoming a diverse international clientele to my practice. This global reach allows me to extend support and guidance to individuals worldwide, transcending geographical boundaries in our journey toward healing and growth.

For clients within the United States, due to state licensure regulations, I’m able to provide therapy exclusively to residents of Colorado. It’s essential for U.S. clients seeking therapy to be based in Colorado for us to engage in sessions. Additionally, for those in Colorado, I can process insurance only for policies based in the state.

I’m committed to making therapy accessible and inclusive, and I eagerly invite international clients to explore the transformative potential of therapy, regardless of where you are in the world.

For Life or Success Coaching:
On the other hand, my life and success coaching services are not bound by the same geographical limitations. Regardless of your location, whether you’re in any of the United States or anywhere else around the globe, I’m here to support you in achieving your personal and professional goals. Coaching transcends geographical boundaries, allowing us to collaborate and pave the way for your success, no matter where you are.

If you have any further questions or need clarification on any aspect of the services I offer, the most direct way to reach me is by clicking on the “Let’s Begin” button on my website. This action will guide you through a brief questionnaire designed to capture essential information about your needs and interests. Following the completion of the questionnaire, you’ll be prompted to register, granting you access to a personal membership area. This is completely free.

Within this dedicated space, you’re encouraged to communicate with me using your preferred method: chat, voice, or video messages. This platform is designed for ease and accessibility, allowing you to inquire about any aspect of therapy or coaching, understand more about how we can work together, or simply get to know me better. Please rest assured, there is absolutely no cost associated with registering and initiating this initial connection with me. I’m here to support you and ensure all your questions are thoroughly addressed.

To register for a free account, simply click on any of the “Let’s Begin” buttons you’ll find on my website. This will guide you through a brief questionnaire to better understand your initial needs and objectives. Completing this questionnaire leads you to the registration step, where you’ll create your personal account.

Your free account provides access to a dedicated messaging area for direct communication with me. This space allows you to ask detailed questions about my services, discuss your needs, and understand how we might work together. Please note, while the account and initial consultation are free, actual therapy sessions are conducted through scheduled, paid sessions.

To schedule a therapy session, you can use the “Booking” option in the left panel of your account. This feature lets you view available times and book sessions that fit your schedule. These sessions are where the therapeutic work takes place and are separate from the free consultation available through your account.

In the message room, you have a FREE private space to communicate directly with me. Here’s what you can do:

• Ask Questions: Inquire about my therapy and coaching services, methodologies, or anything else you’re curious about.
• Share Your Story: Tell me about your challenges, goals, and what you hope to achieve through our sessions. This helps me tailor my approach to your needs.

• Exchange Assignments: Between sessions, we can exchange assignments or exercises designed to support your growth and progress.
• Receive Guidance: I can provide insights, strategies, and supportive feedback to assist you in between our scheduled sessions.

This messaging room is designed to be a versatile tool for ongoing communication, ensuring you have continuous support throughout your journey with me.

To ensure your personal and insurance information is provided securely, the process is designed with your privacy in mind:

Filling Out the Questionnaire: Initially, you’ll be asked to complete a basic questionnaire on my website. This step comes before the registration process and is crucial for understanding your background, needs, and what you’re seeking from therapy or coaching.

Registration: After completing the questionnaire, you’ll proceed to register, creating your personal account. During registration, you’ll provide basic personal details such as your name, phone number, email, and address.

Scheduling and Insurance Details: When you schedule your first session, you’ll choose how you’d like to pay for services—either Self-Pay or with Insurance. If you select Insurance, to maintain the highest level of confidentiality and comply with HIPAA standards, you’ll be sent an email with a secure link to a third-party service. This service is designed to collect your insurance information safely and verify your eligibility, ensuring your data is protected throughout the process.

This organized approach allows for the secure and confidential handling of your information, from initial contact through to the arrangement of your sessions.

The message room is primarily designed for initial consultations, ongoing communication, and support between our scheduled live sessions. It’s a versatile space where you can ask questions, share updates, and receive guidance or assignments related to your therapy or coaching journey.

For actual therapy sessions, especially those that require in-depth conversation and a therapeutic environment, I recommend scheduling live video sessions. These live sessions provide a more conducive setting for the kind of immersive, interactive engagement that therapy typically requires, allowing for real-time dialogue, nuanced understanding, and more effective therapeutic techniques.

That said, the message room can certainly be a supplementary tool for therapy, offering a convenient way to maintain contact, discuss progress, and address any immediate concerns or insights that arise between our live sessions.

Scheduling a live session is a straightforward process facilitated by your personal account on my website. Here’s how you can book a session:

1. Access Your Account: After completing the registration, log in to your account where you’ll find a dedicated space for all your scheduling needs.

2. Navigate to Booking: Within your account, there’s a “Booking” section on the left panel. Click on this to view my availability.

3. Choose Your Session: You’ll see a calendar with available dates and times. Select the slot that best fits your schedule.

4. Session Type: At this stage, you can also choose the type of live session you prefer – phone, video call, or live chat.

5. Payment and Insurance: You’ll be prompted to select your payment method. If you’re using insurance, and you’re a Colorado resident, you’ll follow a secure process to provide your insurance details. For self-pay clients, you’ll proceed with the payment option provided.

6. Confirmation: Once you’ve selected your session time and completed the payment or insurance step, your session will be booked. You’ll receive a confirmation for the same, and the scheduled session will appear in the “Booking” tab of your account.

This system ensures that booking a live session with me is seamless and tailored to your needs, allowing us to focus on your growth and progress during our time together.

Yes, the message room is accessible on various devices, including phones, tablets, and computers, ensuring you can stay connected from anywhere.

Absolutely, you can access the message room and the entire membership area from your phone. The platform is designed to be mobile-friendly, ensuring you can engage with all its features, including booking sessions and using the message room, through the mobile web version. This flexibility allows you to stay connected and utilize my services conveniently, wherever you are, ensuring that support is always within reach.

The message room is ideal for initial consultations, ongoing support, and exchanges between our scheduled sessions. It’s a versatile tool for you to ask questions about my services, discuss your goals, and share any concerns or updates regarding your mental health or personal development journey.

While the message room offers a convenient and accessible way to communicate via text, audio, and video messages, it’s important to note that in-depth therapy sessions are best conducted through scheduled live sessions, which provide a more immersive and interactive experience.

For brief consultations, clarifications, or supplementary discussions outside of our live sessions, the message room is perfectly suitable and can greatly enhance our collaborative process. It ensures that you have continuous access to support and guidance, making it a valuable component of your overall experience with my services.

All my sessions are conducted virtually to accommodate clients globally and to fit with my travel schedule. I offer a variety of virtual live sessions, including live chat, phone, and video formats, ensuring we can connect in the way that best suits your needs.
