About Me

Hello! I am happy you are here. My name is Gretchen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker; I completed my Master of Social Work in 2010 from the University of Denver with a certificate in interpersonal trauma. I have had the honor of working with children and families for 15 years in various settings, including integrated care, residential, and outpatient. I employ a relational and strengths-based approach to therapeutic work. I believe that relationships are the greatest source of healing and provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely do deep work. I believe that families are the experts in their own lives, and through communication and trust, clients can feel empowered to envision a brighter future and positive change. I am an advocate of social justice; I am culturally sensitive and aware. I recognize all individuals have unique needs; I adjust my approach to best serve and empower the family (or individual). I deeply value humor and practice in ways that are nurturing, playful, and direct. I specialize in trauma treatment, and I’m experienced in the treatment of depression, anxiety, abuse, adjustment/transitions, and parent-child relational problems. I am trained in EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma Treatment therapy and have begun training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
