Optum Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

Everyone else is making progress in life while you’re standing still. Painful reminders sit like a suffocating weight on your chest, preventing you from taking action. The nagging voice in your head never lets up. “You’re not good enough. Just give up already.” The worst part is you’re starting to believe it. You don’t feel worthy of love, so you settle for unfulfilling relationships. You’re so stuck in the past that it’s impossible to focus on the future. There must be more to life than this! You know that something needs to change.

I work with a wide variety of clients from depression, anxiety , bipolar, anger management, PTSD, disability disorders, Marital, partners, and family therapy. My youngest client is 18 months and my oldest client is 86 years old.

Wow. What a couple of years- am I right? Things are weird, they're hard and uncomfortable at times. You're always adapting and it feels like more is being asked of you each time you feel like you're getting settled. But I'll let you in on a secret- you've got this. It may not feel that way right now, but deep inside you've been given, and have ALWAYS held, the ability to change. To adapt. To overcome. If you've read this far and you're thinking you want to know more about the ember that's kindling inside- I'm your gal (or therapist, in this instance).

Taking on New Clients! Having a safe space to talk can help you feel validated, heard and grounded. If you are feeling stressed in life, are experiencing new or past struggles, feel overwhelmed, burned out or are wanting to work on your self esteem and communication, we can make improvements to find that balance in life. I value social and racial justice and take into account culture, environment, family background, and inter-generational patterns and trauma when working with my clients.

I'm passionate about empowering individuals who have felt unseen, misunderstood, marginalized, and voiceless, and I love working with and empowering women in all stages of life. As a woman who has felt disempowered from past trauma and shame, I'm passionate about working with women to achieve greater self-worth and confidence and embrace their authentic self. I find joy in helping people heal from past trauma, transform limiting beliefs of shame into the truth of who they are, find meaning and purpose, and courageously tell their story.

The stigma around mental health prevents many people from seeking treatment. While people have become slightly less judgmental of those seeking help for substance use disorder and depression, childhood trauma, ADHD, PTSD, and other conditions remain the subject of shame and suspicion. I have experienced this myself and I know how painful and wrong it can feel! This experience gave me my passion for advocating for the acceptance of mental health care for youth and adults.

My areas of specialty include adult ADHD (I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider,) anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions and stress management. Are you struggling with ADHD symptoms including emotional dysregulation, poor time management, trouble starting or finishing tasks, and/or job or school stress? ADHD is so much more than what is typically known. I would love to talk with you about how to understand your ADHD and help you put some effective strategies in place.

I have worked with a variety of issues since I began clinical work. My ideal client is adult aged and looking to work on issues of the self. I enjoy working with people with trauma, depression, anxiety and ADHD.

My experience includes working with evidence-based therapies with a focus on support to minorities, military families, blended families, multiracial families, couples, and you.

I believe no one is exempt from healing or wholeness. My philosophy is that we can learn the skills needed to engage our courage, cultivate trust, embrace truth, and realize the wholeness inherent within. We do not exist in isolation, and that is a clue to healing. As a therapist I companion your journey, guiding with perceptivity and clinical expertise but ultimately cultivating client self-determination, nurturing the innate guidance within, and honoring the client as the authority over their own personhood. Investing in ourselves and our healing benefits everyone, and that investment comes back to us in unforeseen beautiful ways.

First it was gun violence, then it was climate change. Now we are faced with this severe pandemic that many of us have ever faced in our life time. We here at Alpine Awareness Wellness Ctr are feeling some of the same anxiety, depression and fear as you are and would like to share with you specific coping skills for handling this unprecedented situation.

Seeking support and guidance? As humans, we suck at communicating and comprehending. Therefore, it can be difficult to form a connection with others where you feel heard, understood and accepted. I am here to make observations, pose questions and provide unconditional support. I am also here to help you make sense of the bag you've been carrying. Let's talk about unzipping it, looking inside, keeping what's crucial and sorting through the rest. Everyone has a different starting point and I meet you where you are comfortable. Then, we move through this journey together so you are able to reach your goals.

Do you feel unheard? Like no one understands you? Maybe you feel like you've lost yourself and tried everything to cope, but still feel empty, angry, and alone. What if someone could guide you in truly defining who you are and help you design a clear path back to yourself? You deserve to be heard, to learn helpful coping skills, and to discover self-care techniques to feel more content and more like yourself again. No one should have to walk this journey alone! I love working with clients in establishing a better sense of empowerment and self esteem. I work from a feminist lens challenging clients to improve their self worth.

Telehealth ONLY - It is my privilege to work with clients that desire growth and are willing to explore, learn, and put new thoughts and behaviors into practice in order to support the life they are working towards.
