I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Denver with a clinical focus on counseling couples and families.

I have earned a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy at the Denver Family Institute. This included completing two years of post-graduate course work, clinical experience as well as individual and group supervision.

I have also received additional training as a Sex Therapist with Dr. Susan Lee, Ricky Seigel and Larry Seigel at the Florida Sex Therapy Institute.

I am working toward certification in Sex Therapy through AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists).

I am a member of NASW (National Association of Social Workers), AAMFT (American Associaion of Marriage and Family Therapists), COAMFT (Colorado Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists).

To offer the most up to date techniques and interventions, I continue my education by attending several workshops and conferences throughout the year.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband of 25 years and our two teenage boys. I also love to spend time with my friends, reading and playing with our dog, Auggie.
