Therapists in Frisco, CO

I’ve made it my mission to be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of my clients. Through extensive experience working with trauma, substance use, anxiety, life transitions, and the LGBTQIA+ communities, I’ve witnessed the power of connection and shared growth. With a kaleidoscope of backgrounds and stories, the adults I work with are the heart of my practice. Every individual is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs.

I believe in empowering my clients to recognize the strengths in themselves to deal with life's challenges. For 20 years, I have provided therapy to children, adolescents and families in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, parenting and divorce. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their treatment goals and believe in the importance of establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship to affect change. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches based on the individual needs and goals of the client. My work with youth addresses increasing self-awareness, building self-esteem and problem solving.

Is Hypnosis MAGIC? No. Transforming the subconscious root of your pattern... can SEEM LIKE magic. Clinical Hypnosis, when provided by a licensed healthcare provider, is a safe, natural and deeply relaxing way to alter "stuck" behaviors, thoughts and feelings. It silences brain parts that interfere with change. YOU are always in control. Clinical hypnosis is routinely validated in professional journals for fears, sleep, pain, habit breaking, confidence building and performance enhancement. Virtually everyone can experience hypnotic relaxation.

As a therapist I want to help you achieve the goals that you set. To accomplish this we will work together from a holistic perspective to get your mind, body, and spirit to the place you want them to be. I have a generalist practice and I feel comfortable with many different types of clients. I have ten years of experience in the helping professions. My experience includes but is not limited to adolescents, addictions, men and boys, and sports psychology. I am a nationally certified counselor and registered with the state of Colorado as a Psychotherapist.

I am a Summit County native, born and raised in Frisco, CO.

Starting your therapeutic process is a brave endeavor and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

I work with children, adolescents, adults and families. My therapeutic approach is humanistic, strengths-based and attachment-focused. I am a culturally-sensitive clinician, who emphasizes working transparently and collaboratively with clients of all backgrounds and orientations. In an effort to synthesize my love for music with my passion for mental health, I also co-founded Backline Care, a nonprofit organization providing mental health and wellness resources to those in the music industry.

I support women, adolescents, and children that are managing emotional distress and lack of behavioral control brought on by trauma, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues.

I recognize that personal growth and healing can be challenging. I am passionate about helping individuals embark on this journey, and I take my role in creating a safe and supportive space very seriously. My intention with each client is to build a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel heard, seen, and understood.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors despite how hard you try to change? Do you feel like the way you are living is holding you back from your happiest, most joyful life? Perhaps you worry that you don't deserve it, or you don't have what it takes to make lasting change. But deep down, you just want to feel better, stop struggling, and start living. You can imagine your life not being ruled by relationship issues, low self-worth, addiction, trauma, or self-destructive patterns. A life where you can reach your full potential and learn to love yourself in the process - this is available to you and I can help.

I believe mental health is all about finding a baseline of awareness that allows you to live authentically & in a state of balance in all areas of your life. As a clinician, I avoid telling my clients what their mental health & wellness will look like. My clients lead each session, and I tailor my approach and methods based on whatever is showing up in the moment. I help empower you to find your ideal balance based on your experiences, observations, and needs so that you can cultivate ideal outcomes, habits, and lifestyles that help you thrive.
