Relatable and Practical Therapy
Asking for help is hard, but courageous.
Are you overwhelmed by all the stress and chaos life can bring and don't know where to start? Are you wanting support for recent or past trauma? Is your alcohol or drug use negatively impacting your life and wondering if you need to make some changes? Maybe you are just wanting to improve yourself or are curious about what therapy is all about.
I help by providing compassionate support and guidance through difficult times, teaching skills to help you better cope, and empowering you to make positive changes in your life. I incorporate your strengths, interests, and passions to make therapy reflect the unique person you are. Previous clients have said I am down-to-earth (hence, the name), am easy to talk to, am knowledgeable, and that they can tell I truly care.
I provide in-person therapy sessions in Durango, Colorado and telehealth therapy to anyone in Colorado. I also provide walking therapy for those who feel more comfortable outside of an office setting.
I am LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodivergent affirming. I practice cultural humility and welcome clients from all walks of life.
