Are you overwhelmed by the stress and chaos life can bring and don't know where to start? Have you had a recent traumatic experience or difficult event from your past that you want support with? Maybe you’re wondering if you are depending too much on drugs and alcohol to cope. Perhaps, you want to become a better version of yourself and are looking for someone to help guide you. 

I help by providing compassionate support and guidance through difficult times, teaching skills to help you cope in a healthier way, 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. You are in control of what we talk about, I will be your co-pilot. We will take things at your own pace.

I am LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodivergent affirming. I practice cultural humility and welcome clients from all walks of life.
