My ideal client is struggling with trauma, depression and/or anxiety. They may have been struggling for months, years, or decades and are ready to explore their issues. Creating a safe space for you to tell your story and then learn and begin to apply coping skills are the first steps toward releasing and healing your pain. My ideal client is also ready to explore how they can unwind ineffective thought processes in order to find a new and healthy mindset that allows for the possibility of peace and happiness.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed or struggling to connect with your emotions? Have you experienced abuse or neglect, or are you facing symptoms of anxiety and depression? Do you feel stressed? Experiencing unhealthy relationships? I am here to support your emotional well-being and personal growth journey. In my therapy practice, we will work together to address your specific concerns and collaboratively create a tailored plan to help you live the fulfilling life you deserve. I help individuals dealing with trauma from emotional, physical, and sexual experiences while also assisting those navigating current difficulties.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

We are a Colorado-based collective of therapists bringing our rich backgrounds together to help clients integrate and move through challenges. We provide diverse approaches to meet our clients needs and support them where they are. Our therapists support clients of all ages working with trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic illness, recovery, grief, as well as other challenges that can arise in everyday life. Each therapist brings their own unique perspective and experience to the therapeutic relationship, and all of our providers are dedicated to client-centered, trauma-informed care.

There are times in our lives we could all use guidance to help live our best life. We do not have to walk this journey alone. The stigma that needing help is a weakness or somehow a failure is far from the truth. I provide a safe space for helping you reach your goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, anger, grief, or just want to make lasting positive change, I can help. Clients remark I seem to have a knack for getting to core issues in therapy. I have been on both sides of the couch and appreciate the courage it takes to make that first call to enlist a guide.

I believe that the most important factor of success in therapy is the authentic relationship. I have a passion for learning about each client's talents and strengths and using those to increase their life satisfaction. I believe that all people have a desire to live the best lives they can live, and at times need support in identifying and eliminating the barriers that prevent them from doing so. I believe that trauma, whether from watching the daily news or experiencing combat in war, is at the root of many of these barriers.

I believe the clients I serve are whole individuals and approach my work with each of them as an active and collaborative partnership. My client list includes individuals and their partners and family's when needed, and groups. My passion is to improve the lives of my clients, offer them new insights, enable them to see things from different perspectives, empower them to make new choices, and create a life they feel is worth living.

It is important to have an experienced, clinically trained professional to help with your mental health needs, but who is also caring and compassionate who understands your struggle, in a non-judgmental way, and who will walk alongside you in your journey to getting well. We will work together to help you achieve your therapy goals by improving impact from trauma, negative thought patterns, feelings of sadness and fear, bringing positive life-altering results. I implement evidenced-based practices in psychotherapy, that's tailored to meet your needs, giving you a personalized approach to improving your mental health and well-being.

Changing one's unhappiness or difficulties in life often feels like a daunting task. My clients become empowered to get their needs met and solve their problems, primarily through cognitive and behavioral techniques and psychoeducation. Taking responsibility for their own growth, they increase their self esteem and confidence. My typical client seeks more effective coping skills, guidance through treatment for depression, mood disorders, anxiety, grief, stress management, adjustment to divorce or other life changes, AD/HD, addictions; also workplace and parenting issues, and trauma.

You have been through it. Maybe you are still going through it. Unhealthy relationships. Experiences of trauma. Carrying the weight of family wounds. Living day to day in a world with the influence of white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist delusion (ref. Sonya Renee Taylor). The coping strategies that helped you get to this point aren’t allowing you to live the life you want. While we are surviving, we start to miss out on life. We lose contact with others and ourselves. We go through the motions of daily life without experiencing connection or joy. We may feel hopeless, angry, exhausted, and ashamed.

I can help you with depression and anxiety and relationship difficulties. I work to help people move forward when they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of feelings and behaviors. My belief is that we all have within us the capacity to flourish if the obstacles to doing that are identified and removed. I like to work with people who are committed to their healing and prepared to risk changing in order to thrive. I have experience helping clients heal from childhood trauma, from grief and loss of all kinds, from constant worry, and from persistent negative ideas about themselves. My approach is collaborative and interactive.

SUMMER groups and workshops in 2024! Please look at my group offerings and email me if you have interest! As for my work with individuals, the process of healing, personal growth and self discovery is a valuable journey for people/families of all types, and for each youth or family this may look different. It is my privilege and honor to be allowed to join in your unique journey. We will work together to help you achieve the goals you set in this therapy process.

Life can be really tough and often confusing, and seeking help to process through life is a great step. I enjoy walking with people as they figure out who they are, process through their trauma, and learn how to deal with their emotions. I specialize in trauma using the tools of EMDR and Narrative therapy. I also specialize in DBT helping people to process emotions, grow in self awareness, stop black and white thinking, and take back control of emotions. I work with individuals and I also offer DBT groups.

As a long time therapist, I know that it usually takes a lot of courage to reach out for help & it can feel so vulnerable to take this first step. I honor this stepping out of your comfort zone into the unfamiliar, so I create felt safety & a close therapeutic connection from the get go. I bring compassion into all my sessions, valuing the client's pace and sense of security as highly as I value my knowledge and experience. It is my belief that it is only in this balance that therapeutic healing can occur.

Are you wanting to heal past trauma but unsure where to start? Or perhaps you’re looking for a safe space to unmask as you learn more about your neurodivergence? If so, you’ve come to the right place. While EMDR may be all the hype these days, I offer a slightly different but effective approach called Brainspotting that can do wonders for those who are a bit more sensitive, anxious, or may have more complex trauma to work through. Along with working with neurodivergents and trauma survivors, I welcome all women 18+ who are feeling stuck or just needing some extra support.

Life is hard. My hope as your therapist is to help you navigate the journey to your true north. I want you or your child to feel heard, understood and supported. I will encourage you to be curious about your feelings (brain and body), your choices and your responses. Let's connect and unravel why you do what you do and feel how you feel. Together we'll work on shifting towards healthier ways of thinking and doing.

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or ADHD, and are feeling like you just can’t catch a break. You’re overwhelmed, constantly on edge, and making it through each day is like running a marathon that you were unable to train for. Dealing with all of this inside of you makes you feel so alone, believing that no one understands how you’re feeling. I work best with those of you who are experiencing work-related stress and relationship issues, as a result of feeling down, swamped, stressed out, or too scattered. What you want to get from therapy is understanding and solid solutions for getting back to your "normal" self.

Sometimes life can leave the best of us feeling helpless, unlovable, and lonely. While Western culture promotes emotional independence as a strength, attachment science is discovering the opposite: humans are wired to experience vulnerability in connection with one another. From this evidence-based approach, my first priority is to build a genuine connection with you that fosters openness, trust, and compassion - to provide a safe haven where you can begin to develop curiosity and awareness around patterns that no longer serve you while helping you uncover a more authentic story of you and your place in the world.

With couples, you might be here because of a disconnect in your relationship, maybe emotionally, physically, or through communication. I work in the roots – where did it start, what are the patterns, what needs to be said, how can we work to hear it? I also work with practical skills – how can we start communicating more effectively? How can we take steps to feel more connected and safe with one another? With Individuals, I have a passion for those struggling with Chronic Pain, Grief, Trauma and Addiction. Again, I am very much skills-based as much as I am roots-based, finding deeper understanding and learning healthy ways to cope.
