Only you can truly appreciate how you came to be the person you are today. We can choose to engage in life and with each other from a position of fear or a position of possibility. I believe counseling is all about possibility - the possibility of discovering your voice, the possibility of seeing something new in your reflection, the possibility of personal growth, and the possibility of finding your own deep light.

Pornography, sexting, infidelity, and sexual behavior problems can be devastating to the person involved and rippling out into family, friends, careers, etc. You are not alone. There is help and people get better, ultimately living their purposed life. Each individual that I see in my practice hopefully will benefit from connection with someone who understands their basic desire for balance, their desire to be fulfilled in life, and their desire to pursue their best health. My approach is direct, non-shaming, and compassionate. The hope is you will gain control over your life and pursue a life of freedom, integrity, and joy.

We all encounter challenges that affect our quality of life. Although struggles are part of the normal human experience, we were not meant to work through them alone. My passion is to come alongside you to help you find healing and change as you journey down this path called life. I am here to provide support, encouragement, and my expertise to help you find the strength to overcome whatever life has thrown your way. I specialize in helping you navigate through anxiety, depression, and trauma. My mission is that when you embark on this journey you can come out victorious, empowered, and filled with hope and purpose.

All of us go through trying times in our lives. We experience stress, anxiety, depression, and complicated emotions that cause us to feel stuck.

Through attunement, we work together to help the body and mind cope with difficult emotions and let go of things that no longer serve you.

I specialize in integrative, holistic, multi-dimensional counseling and healing practices and have helped thousands of clients navigate the sometimes-turbulent waters of recovery and create success, joy, and balance in their lives.

Sometimes talking to a friend isn't enough. That's where I come in. My goal is to provide a safe space to explore what's troubling you. Therapy is more than an objective view of emotional and relational issues though, it's a very important relationship. The warm, supportive and judgment-free relationship we develop actually creates the safe place to explore the difficult issues in life. When boundaries have been violated, often in childhood, it can be difficult to negotiate and expect good boundaries as we grow up. Again, that's where I come in. In the safety of a nurturing place, we will work together to develop and maintain healthy boundaries in your personal, school and professional life. Life can then look a little more manageable and goals more attainable.

Are you struggling with managing your work, relationships, and day-to-day responsibilities? Since you're here, it's likely that you are looking for a safe place to get immediate relief as well as to create lasting change. In our work together, you will learn to re-wire automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of your happiness. I offer individual and couples therapy, using an eclectic approach, including body psychotherapy, EMDR Therapy, and Brainspotting.

As a former victim advocate with Colorado Springs Police Department, I have a deep passion for helping victims of crime regain their power and find their center. It is through my work with law enforcement, members of the military and victims of crime that I have gained a deep understanding into the dynamics of trauma, vicarious trauma, secondary trauma, and repercussions of untreated PTSD. It has also been my experience that the vast majority of addictions stem from untreated and unaddressed adverse life experiences that are inherently trauma related.

I specialize in using creative therapeutic interventions that are designed to help my clients achieve growth, healing and empowerment. While I work with children and adolescents struggling with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges, the greater part of my clinical experience involves working with clients who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, Abuse & Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Attachment Issues. Throughout the therapeutic process, I work collaboratively with parents in providing education and empowerment. I feel it is essential to help parents see themselves as partners in helping their child.

Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. I coach, guide, encourage, support and assistance in the process of sustained recovery from whatever it is the has weighted you down.

Welcome! Working with individuals and couples, I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities.

Almost all of my clients have one thing in common. They want better, gentler, more fulfilling relationships. Whether they are struggling from the effects of trauma, working to enrich or save a marriage, navigating the divorce process, dealing with depression and/or anxiety, learning new social skills, or simply trying to be better parents, they want a deeper and more peaceful sense of connection with themselves and others. My clients are intelligent and thoughtful people who tend to connect with the natural world. They are often seeking to grow as well as to heal. They want to thrive rather than simply survive.
