I am a licensed social worker with a masters degree from the University of Denver working as a private psychotherapist since 2003. I have been a member of Sloan’s Lake Community Church since 1991, serving in a variety of areas over the course of my time here as a congregant. However, one of the pivotal times in my life and practice as a psychotherapist came in 2006 when the SLCC Board of Elders created the Sloan’s Lake Christian Counseling Center as a way of thinking about how to not only serve the congregants of SLCC in times of emotional need, but also as a way to touch our community.

In addition to working as the director of the counseling center to respond to church and community issues with classes, lectures, workshops and support groups, I operate my psychotherapy practice, Honoring the Journey Therapeutic Services, out of an office at the church. I offer therapy to the community regarding relational and personal restoration and growth. In this capacity, I serve individual adults and couples and design and facilitate personalized support groups.

My goal as psychotherapist is to work with the strengths each person brings into the therapeutic process to restore equilibrium or create a stable foundation on which to build the life the client is seeking. Although I am not a Christian counselor, I bring a Christian perspective to the therapeutic process.

Please feel free to call the church office, 303-458-8186, for more information about either SLCC Christian Counseling Center or Honoring the Journey Therapeutic Services. It is a blessing to serve in this capacity to the Christian community and the community at large.
