I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

I take a systems approach that incorporates you, your work, family, and environment and can adapt my approach based your needs and goals.
I approach therapy similarly to how I approach life: striving for health in all areas (emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, relational, etc.). If you are looking to become a healthier and more authentic version of yourself, you are in the right place. As a mental health provider, I believe clients guide the therapeutic process and therapy is, by nature, collaborative work. I am able to tailor my theoretical approach based on a client's unique needs and goals. I pull from a variety of theoretical orientations including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy.

Trauma, divorce, life transitions, co-parenting issues. You may be experiencing sleep issues, emotional numbness, lack of interest in activities, and lack of energy. Many times there is also guilt associated with any one of these occurrences. With the correct treatment, you don't have to feel this way any longer. You want to be able to feel again - to not only have numb or angry as emotions. You want to be fully engaged with your family and friends again. To be able to smile and laugh and to actually mean it. You want to know that you are not alone. Invictus Counseling Associates offers both face-to-face.

I specialize in couple's therapy using the most current techniques in relationship counseling. I believe that many issues couples face, issues that often lead to relationship breakup, are normal, understandable and treatable through therapy. After years as a therapist, I have found a method for couples counseling, EFT(Emotionally Focused Therapy), that systematically addresses deep relationship issues and empowers profound and lasting change. I have been married for 40 years, have four children, value family as a stable base and would not be where I am today without the support of professional marriage counseling. I believe in it!

I look forward to helping you make an informed decision for yourself or your family.
As a licensed therapist, I enjoy working with individuals in all stages of life (adults, children, teens, and families). After spending years as a Denver based mental health clinician, I am thrilled to return to private practice in my hometown of the Roaring Fork Valley. I am able to address a wide range of challenges that we all struggle with at certain points in our lives, including anxiety, trauma, grief, motivation, relationships, depression, and more. Sessions are always grounded in my clients' sense of a trusting and positive therapeutic relationship. This is the foundation from which our work together begins.

A future in which you have a clear picture of what success looks and feels like for your family, and a roadmap of how to build skills in a supportive way so that you can make that picture a reality.
Parenting a child who’s struggling can be incredibly tough. Perhaps your family is navigating a diagnosis or working through challenging behaviors at home or school. I teach parents to support their kids in more calm, confident, and connected ways, and I help kids grow their social, emotional, and academic skills. Executive function is often at the root of many struggles with learning and behavior. I’m here for families who are ready to get unstuck. Changing patterns and shifting behavior is not easy, it takes time…and, it’s worth it.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
