LEAP OFFICE FORT COLLINS HOW TO
I often wonder what our outcome would have been had we worked with a really good EFT therapist – someone who actually knew how to work with couples. When my ex-wife and I were going through our divorce, we saw some pretty bad couples therapists. But I do take my work and family therapy seriously. I don’t burn incense in my office, and I can relate to real people because I am pretty down-to-earth myself. I like that I don’t come off as too new-agey. The best thing a client ever said to me was that I was the only therapist they had ever seen whom they felt they could be friends with in their real lives. I am now completely energized by it, and I think my real life experience helps me relate to many of the family therapy clients I see. I like that I did not start my couples counseling career at age 20. We both loved/hated it, but what a fantastic bonding experience! I love walking, hiking, and backpacking, and my not-so-secret dream is to hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.

It took us four summers in total, but in 2018 we finally finished the rest of the 500-mile trail. The summer before that, my son and I backpacked 120 miles on the Colorado Trail from Denver to Breckenridge. Now that is pretty great coming from an 16-year-old girl!įor five weeks in the summer of 2013 my daughter and I walked the 500-mile Camino de Santiago – the entire width of Spain from France to the Ocean. When she was 16 my daughter told me that she loved her life and wouldn’t change a thing. My kids love their step-siblings, and I love them too. Though we divorced when they were very young, we have remained very close friends, and I count her husband as a friend as well. I am very proud of how my ex-wife and I co-parented our children. I have two incredible kids – a 21-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter. I love my new colleagues and working closely with them to become a better therapist every day. I love going to “work.” (I needed the quotes because sometimes it really doesn’t feel like work!) I love working with couples and helping them move closer to each other. It has proved to be the best decision I have ever made. I earned my Master’s degree in clinical counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and officially embarked on my journey to become a couples and family therapist. In 2009, I faced down my fears and made the leap. I always knew that I would have two careers and that my second career would bring me closer to real people. My last “real job” was working for Oracle running a Business Process Management consulting group. I had a successful and fulfilling career in Management Consulting for almost 25 years.

Couples and Family Therapy is a second career for me.
