Thank you for your inquiry about my practice. If you, or someone you love is currently experiencing unbearable stress levels, major mental illness, or going through a traumatic experience, I am here to help.

My specialties include; trauma, self-esteem, parenting, relationships, grief, death or divorce, fears and phobias, anger issues, sexual abuse, substance abuse, stress management. I teach interpersonal relationship skills, emotional regulation & distress tolerance skills. I also diagnose all mental health disorders based on DSMV.

Throughout life’s journey experiencing struggles, sickness, and loss, we sometimes find ourselves in need of the kind of unbiased support and unconditional positive regard that a counselor can provide. We benefit from the sacred space that’s held just for us during therapy, and the healing that occurs in the relationship between ourselves and the counselor, and of course in the healthier relationship we develop with ourselves and others. When we experience the darkness of depression, overwhelming anxiety, trauma, loss, crisis of identity or faith, or even indecision, our personal guidance systems can become temporarily blocked.

As a direct therapist, I support individuals and couples track hard to see patterns, themes, and truths with compassion and kindness. I understand the challenges and discomfort that can arise while sitting with grief and pain. My goal is to guide my clients through this healing process so that they feel a greater sense of confidence, pride, and growth. My process helps clients untangle the paths within through insight and action.

Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and help you towards the goals that you set. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. (you can text me, if that's easier 970-903-3893) You can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com

Everyone’s journey towards living a healthy, satisfying, and rewarding life looks different, and my approach to therapy is to support you in reaching your goals on your own terms. Because I don’t believe there is a “right” answer for healing from grief and trauma, feeling more positive or hopeful, less anxious, or improving relationships, I offer a variety of treatment approaches and together we adjust our approach to be the best fit for you.

I am continuously inspired to hold each person capable. Therapy offers a ripe moment of action potential to target the heart of what’s needed to change. I invite you to gain insight through bold vulnerability, creativity, mindfulness, helpful confrontation, and accountability. Through the challenge of honest introspection and the practice of expressing oneself, I can support you in your therapeutic journey. With compassion and an innate tendency towards enthusiasm, I motivate people to take the challenging steps towards the wellness they seek and to access the internal resources they never lost.

Accepting new clients, April 2024! Life can be a journey filled with twists and turns, and at times, it's easy to feel lost and disconnected. As a therapist specializing in serving marginalized individuals and relationships, I am committed to embracing the rich tapestry of human experiences.

Whether you're seeking to address trauma, find clarity in your identity, navigate relationships, or simply get started on a journey of self-improvement, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Seeking treatment is a huge step. You're a strong and capable person for doing so. Whether you need extra support, affirming space or have a problem to solve, I am here to help. Psychotherapy provides safe space to reevaluate priorities, slow down and find ease. I approach therapy with humor, warmness and analogy in helping clients see different perspectives. My approach is solution oriented while being eclectic, exploratory and expansive. Therapy is focused on establishing a full picture of client history, relationships and current levels of functioning. Then collaboratively a treatment plan is established to meet client goals.
