Do you feel stuck in negative thought patterns? Having a tough time moving past a traumatic experience? Are you struggling to express and enforce boundaries with others? Sometimes talking with family or friends can help, however, sometimes you may need more. This is where I can help. I'm passionate about working with teens (16+), adults, couples, and families to find balance and re-establish purpose in their life by using skills-based practices. I have a special interest in helping people learn skills they can use to decrease anxiety, depression, conduct disorders, low self-esteem, school related issues, and trauma impact.

You have taken the first step in charting the journey you want to create in your life. Everyone has a journey, but sometimes it appears uncharted or unknown, and we need help charting a new path. I believe counseling is about connecting with someone who can help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that impact your daily life. I recognize it can be difficult to create change when life feels as if it is a whirlwind, but you do not have to create that change alone.

Are you ready to explore and challenge these feelings in a safe and secure therapeutic relationship? What about reclaiming your personal power to heal and grow? There are many ways to experience trauma and disconnections in our life, and where disconnections occur, I believe so can growth, healing and resilience. I specialize in working with the multicultural world.

I became interested in helping others heal and grow after my own personal experiences struggling with mental health challenges, as well as watching loved ones struggle with addiction, mental health, toxic family situations, and chronic health/pain issues. I've seen and experienced the healing power in being able to unpack your story and share what has shaped you. By adopting new visions of ourselves and our power, we can expand in ways we never thought possible. We reconnect. We can blaze our own authentic path and make an impact on the world like we were always meant to. We can begin living our our version of a life worth living.

I am a licensed therapist in Colorado and I work with clients trying to get through a past or recent trauma or just deal with tough life issues that are affecting their daily life and overall happiness. Trauma, depression, anxiety and other stressors can be overwhelming and interfere with basic functioning but can be overcome when addressed in a healthy way. These issues can be difficult to deal with alone, so therapy helps provide a strong support system towards recovery and healthy living. I believe in helping people focus on and strengthen their individual power to start living life the way they want to.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
