Compassionate support for life's toughest moments

No. Transitioning Through Change is a private pay practice. Choosing not to work with insurance allows me to focus entirely on your needs, including the length and pace of our work together, without the constraints that insurance coverage can place on the therapeutic process. You can find full information about fees and superbills on the Fees and Payment page.

Yes. Virtual appointments give you the option to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Sessions are available to anyone who resides in Colorado and is physically located in Colorado at the time of their appointment, as my license is limited to the state. If you prefer to meet in person, in-person appointments are offered in Westminster. Appointments in person give you an opportunity to set aside dedicated time just for you, free of distractions. A combination of virtual and in-person, depending on your needs, is also available.

Yes. While my focus is on individual therapy, it occasionally makes sense to invite partners or family members into sessions when it supports the client's goals. For example, including a loved one during grief counseling can help facilitate communication, mutual understanding, and shared healing. I will work with you to determine when it is appropriate and beneficial.

The most important thing you can bring to therapy is a willingness to be open, honest, and engaged in the process.You do not need to have all the answers, know exactly what to say, or be good at therapy. Showing up, being curious about yourself, and practicing what you learn between sessions can make a meaningful difference. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to help you move toward the changes you want to make.

There is no universal answer to this question. Some people come to therapy for a specific concern and achieve their goals in a relatively short period of time. Others choose to engage in deeper work that unfolds over months or longer.The length of therapy depends on many factors, including your goals, the nature of the concerns you are addressing, your readiness for change, and how much support you would like throughout the process.

Every person comes to therapy with a unique history, set of challenges, and goals. Because of that, therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process.Together, we will explore what is bringing you to counseling, identify your goals, and develop a plan that fits your needs. Depending on your situation, our work may include EMDR, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, grief work, skill-building, or simply creating space to process difficult experiences and gain clarity.

Medication can be a valuable tool for some people and may be an important part of treatment. However, medication alone does not teach new coping skills, process grief, heal trauma, improve relationships, or change long-standing patterns of thinking and behavior.Therapy helps you better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change in your life. For some people, therapy alone is sufficient. For others, therapy and medication work well together.

Friends and family can provide tremendous love and support, and those relationships are important. Therapy serves a different purpose.As a therapist, I bring professional training, experience, and an objective perspective. I can help you identify patterns, learn new coping skills, process difficult experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and explore options you may not have considered. Therapy is also a confidential space that is focused entirely on you, without the expectations, history, or dynamics that naturally exist in personal relationships.

Yes. Many people do not realize that grief counseling can support not just those mourning a death, but also individuals dealing with non-death losses. These may include divorce, job loss, infertility, chronic illness, or estrangement. Grief comes in many forms, and I am here to help you make sense of your emotions, find strength, and reconnect with meaning during these challenging transitions.

Reaching out for support takes courage. Many of the people I work with are highly capable, independent individuals who have spent years handling challenges on their own. Sometimes life presents situations that are too painful, overwhelming, or complex to navigate without support. Grief counseling is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is about having a dedicated space to better understand yourself, develop new tools, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
