      <image:title>Home - Welcome!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I believe in the importance of mental health and wellbeing across the lifespan. While I work with adults of all ages, I have a special interest in supporting older adults and those navigating the changes that often come later in life. I accept most Medicare plans and welcome clients who are looking for a compassionate and collaborative space to explore what they are going through.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Who I Work With</image:title>
      <image:caption>I work with adults across the lifespan and have a special focus on supporting older adults and those navigating changes that often come later in life. Many of the people I work with are adjusting to things like: Life transitions Anxiety and stress Depression or low mood Loneliness or isolation Relationship challenges Caregiving responsibilities Chronic pain Grief and loss Health changes</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - A Focus on Older Adults</image:title>
      <image:caption>Working with older adults is especially meaningful to me. Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting many people as they navigate the changes that can come later in life. These transitions can sometimes feel isolating, and having a space to talk openly, feel understood, and receive support can make a real difference. I also work with family members and caregivers who are supporting a loved one and trying to make sense of these changes together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - What Therapy is Like</image:title>
      <image:caption>My approach to therapy is collaborative and focused on what matters most to you. Rather than focusing on problems, we explore what you hope might feel different in your life and what steps could help move you in that direction. Many people already have strengths, experiences, and skills that can help guide the way forward, even if they do not feel obvious right now. Together we look for what is already working and how small, meaningful changes can support your path forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Insurance and Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>I offer virtual counseling throughout Colorado and in-home sessions within the Denver metro area. I accept Medicare and also work with select other insurance plans. If you have questions about your coverage, I’m happy to help you understand your options. I frequently work with clients who use Medicare and understand how to help people access therapy services through these plans.</image:caption>
