I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and Approved Clinical Supervisor in Colorado, having obtained my Masters of Community Counseling from Regis University.  I completed additional studies in Play Therapy and Supervision while in school and after graduating. As part of my training, I completed an internship at Judi's House, which specializes in helping children who have lost a loved one by providing grief counseling via groups, play therapy, family and individual counseling services. The Registered Play Therapist Supervisor credential involved an additional hundreds of hours worth of play therapy sessions, training and supervision. In the past I have worked at residential treatment facilities that serve children and adolescents.  I have also worked with the courts and schools to provide support for truancy reduction programs. I am a National Certified Counselor and member of the Colorado Counseling Association, Colorado Association for Play Therapy and the Association for Play Therapy.  I recently served as a board member for the Colorado Association of Play Therapy and a member of the Arapahoe County Truancy Task Force.
