Living in Colorado bears a striking resemblance to a captivating fairytale. However, all the fairytales I've read are inherently fraught with shocking, nightmarish elements! Seasonal affective disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, the challenges related to ADHD, autism, HSP, and general challenges living at elevation are some of the mental health challenges that are common for Coloradans and Summit County residents. Additionally, forming a sense of community can be particularly difficult and issues related to affordable housing and access to essential resources often go unaddressed. It's easy to get fuckin' burnt out.

Even therapists need therapy. I often tell my clients that because there are times in life when we all could use a little help working through the trials and tribulations. While life can be beautiful, it can also be painful and overwhelming. When we struggle to overcome the pain, it may be time to seek out professional help through therapy.

Together, you and I will explore your struggles and concerns as well as develop tools to get you back to the life you want to live.
