Therapists in Colorado

As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

I believe that working with a therapist who truly listens and helps build motivation for change can alter the course of our lives. I help to empower change by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore life transitions, relationships, as well as mental health and addiction challenges. It takes a lot of courage to take this first step to find a professional who can walk alongside you on your journey. You are worth investing in yourself to heal from the past and build the life you want.

Certain events often precede the beginning of our therapy journey. Grief, relationship crossroads, breakups, divorce, job and career changes, moving, starting or completing school, some sort of “bottom” related to a painful behavior — I’m familiar with these challenges. Therapy can inspire a deeper exploration and a new way of being.

You're at an age that you thought would have at least some of your dreams come together, instead you're settling for almost getting there. Stuck, trapped, one step forward but two steps back are the feelings you try to push away or ignore. Usually in unhelpful ways. This isn't the the person your younger self thought you would be. The good news is you know you're not done working towards the future you that feels fulfilled.

Life will inevitably bring up intense emotions and feelings: shame, fear, confusion, etc. Overwhelming pressure, life transitions, past trauma, or simply the burden of daily stressors can pile on you until it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. When overwhelmed, you may find it relatively impossible to maintain close relationships with family, friends, and significant others. This can create a vicious cycle of anxiety, isolation, and hopelessness. It can feel like you have no way out of this bleak season.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

I obtained my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health from Adam’s State University in 2022. I was trained in EMDR in October of 2020 and DBT in October of 2023. I have a great love of trauma work and helping clients to realize how trauma has been impacting them. I focus on helping clients to increase their feelings of trust and safety, emotional awareness of triggers and improving irritability and other mood and relationship side effects related to trauma. I help clients learn to implement boundaries in their personal and professional lives. I also strive to help clients achieve overall wellness.

“There are two extremes to avoid: being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay far away from the wound you want to heal.” This quote by Henri Nouwen describes the middle ground I aim to help people find in therapy. Maybe you feel like you are constantly treading water—drowning in your anxiety, anger, or shame. Or maybe you have habits, addictions, or unwanted behaviors that take the edge off or help you numb out for a while. A lot of people find themselves, like a pendulum, swaying back and forth between these extremes. Sound familiar?
