My clients describe me as:

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I have a quaint, quiet home office in South Boulder. It's a 5-10 minute walk from Viele Lake/Harlow Platts Park.

More about me and my practice:

I believe in scientific research. Psychology researchers have shown that one of the best indicators of a successful outcome in therapy is a good fit between therapist and client.
