Health First Colorado Therapists in Timnath, CO
As of 6/16, I am accepting new clients! I support adults (18+) in healing trauma, building emotional stability, and creating a life that truly feels like their own. I specialize in working with those impacted by relational conflict, cultural expectations, religion or spirituality, and the weight of work or responsibility. Many of the people I work with are the ones everyone else leans on - competent, capable, and dependable - yet privately overwhelmed and second-guessing themselves. Healing is possible. And, It doesn’t require you to abandon yourself - it invites you to come home to yourself.

If you're lacking clarity, purpose or a vision for the future, together we can explore what it looks like to find fulfillment.

I aim to collaborate with clients as we work together toward growth and fulfillment. Together, we work to foster an environment of acceptance and empathy, promoting awareness and self-compassion. I am honored to work with clients of all ages and stages in life and from all backgrounds. I view therapy work as a collaborative process, fostering growth in a way that suites each individual person, with the goal of increasing self-understanding and acceptance, as well as gently challenging to target areas for growth and fulfillment.

Do you worry that if you stop performing, you’ll realize you don’t actually know who you are? Are you so used to anticipating everyone else’s needs that you’ve lost track of what you actually want? I work with adults who feel “stuck”—navigating a persistent hum of anxiety, burnout, or patterns like people-pleasing and chasing intensity. My passion is de-shaming sex and intimacy; I believe the way we relate to our bodies mirrors how we move through the world. Whether healing from trauma or relational conflict, we start with the most important relationship: the one you have with yourself.

Hope Roots offers in-person or telehealth trauma-focused and integrative therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma. Our therapists recognize power dynamics, relational-cultural issues, and bias in health systems and strive for feminist, strengths-based, egalitarian therapy and therapeutic relationships including client empowerment and social justice advocacy. We believe in empowering clients with neuroscience-informed psychoeducation so that they can be experts in their own mental health and view their symptoms as adaptations to stress and trauma over their lifespan, rather than a disease.

I do my best work with people ages 5 and up who feel like they're supposed to "have it together" but secretly don't. Those who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, school stress, or big life transitions. They're looking for a place where they can be honest, feel understood, and not worry about being perfect. As someone who took a nontraditional path myself, I get what it's like to feel lost or overwhelmed in this big world. My ideal client wants support, real connection and tools that help them feel more confident being who they are.

I approach therapy with a deep respect for the dignity of the person, the reality of suffering, and the genuine potential for healing and transformation. Many reach out when life feels confusing, overwhelming, or they are disconnected from who they want to be. I frequently work with thoughtful, introspective individuals who feel conflicted or stuck, who are searching for more meaning and purpose, but who may struggle with confidence and direction in daily life. For clients who desire it, I integrate faith into therapy in a way that is clinically grounded and respectful of Christian teaching. Faith integration is always optional.
