Progress

Mental Health,

PLLC

Welcome

I provide a calm and relaxing atmosphere where you can expect to be respected and heard, regardless of what brings you to see me. I am not here to tell you how to live your life, but rather to support you on a path of self-discovery wherein we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will figure out what is needed to improve your life, and then learn how to implement the skills and changes necessary to get there. Consider me your guide and support staff on the journey to improved happiness and healthiness.

Progress Mental Health offers both in-person and virtual counseling for individuals.

A little about me

I like helping people.

I made a career change into counseling in my mid-30’s after working with my own Counselor to address my personal mental health struggles. Through our efforts (and you must be prepared to put in genuine effort if you want lasting changes), I came to realize how fulfilled I feel when I can help someone else to navigate a difficult situation and learn how to more healthily perceive and function in the world around them.

If you are committed to positively changing your life, you can expect me to be there to support you along the way. I cannot promise results, but I guarantee that I will give my all to help you overcome your struggles. You will not question my work ethic.

I am originally from New Jersey but have lived most of my life in Colorado. I like the outdoors, being active, reading, sports, and hanging out with my dog.

I am a normal-ish person who has seen good times and bad. No issue is too shameful or weird.

Providing you with a safe environment.

I prefer to take a person-centered approach to working with clients, by which I mean I take the time to build a relationship with clients to establish trust as we explore more sensitive topics. I do my best to provide a warm, laid-back, non-judgmental setting so that you feel as comfortable as possible.

I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychoeducation in a hybrid model that is best suited to your specific needs. I believe in educating clients so that the skills learned in session can be applied in everyday life.

We are going to learn about our feelings. We will build our emotional vocabulary so that we can understand where they come from (both historically and in the present), why they impact us the way that they do, and how we can learn to better tolerate them in order to reduce their negative impact on our thoughts and behaviors.

How I can help:

My counseling sessions are a chance for you to explore whatever you are thinking or feeling, without fear of judgement or criticism. I am here to listen attentively and to understand, as well as to help clients to see how their life experiences may have distorted their view of the world around them.

I use humor and levity to help clients cope with and heal from their issues.

Clients can also expect to be challenged in a gentle and empathetic manner.
