Professional experience
I have been practicing therapy since 2008, working with diverse clients, providing clinical supervision to trainees, and teaching at the graduate level. With graduate degrees and professional licensure in the fields of counseling psychology, couples and family therapy, and school counseling, I have a unique perspective and am a strong generalist with a broad knowledge base upon which to draw. I see clients from diverse backgrounds and work successfully with a variety of presenting issues.
I am also an adjunct faculty member at the University of Denver's Counseling Psychology program where I provide clinical supervision for student therapists and teach classes in family and couples therapy. I have supervised student therapists providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families, taught couples and family therapy theories, and taught counseling diverse populations at the University of Northern Colorado's doctoral program in Counseling Psychology.
I oversaw the counseling department at Denver Jewish Day School, a local K-12 school, for six years. I wore many different hats including working with parents and teachers in order to support the mental health needs of students, developing and teaching the K-12 social, emotional, and health/sexuality curriculum, supervising interns, working closely with the Learning Resource Center to support students with diverse learning needs, and providing parent and staff trainings and presentations on mental health and educational topics.
In graduate school, I worked in college counseling centers and community mental health centers providing individual, group, couples, and family therapy. I have previously worked in community mental health serving children and adults with developmental disabilities and serious mental illness, as well as working for four years conducting public health and psychology research at the University of Washington.
