Only you can truly appreciate how you came to be the person you are today. We can choose to engage in life and with each other from a position of fear or a position of possibility. I believe counseling is all about possibility - the possibility of discovering your voice, the possibility of seeing something new in your reflection, the possibility of personal growth, and the possibility of finding your own deep light.

It is essential to have a counselor that truly understands you, that you feel comfortable with and is your "best fit" counselor. I provide a warm, authentic and non-judgmental environment where you can face challenges and work through difficulties while receiving genuine support. My approach to counseling is collaborative, compassionate, identity-affirming, culturally informed, relational and strengths based. I believe in giving you the time and attention you deserve and offer high quality care in a compassionate, supportive and culturally responsive environment to help you gain insight and live a healthier and happier life.

I strive to help you live your best life possible.

No matter what you've experienced or where you've come from, you'll find that I have a remarkable talent for helping you feel heard and understood. My sense of humor will put you at ease, and will help you share and write your life story. I have had the pleasure of supporting and witnessing individuals transform their lives and make changes they did not think possible. I also am bilingual in Spanish. ¡También hablo Español!

Life can be hard, confusing and even painful. You have just taken the first and hardest step by being here. As a licensed psychologist, I offer psychotherapy to individuals with an emphasis on adults and adolescents. Together our purpose will be working towards a healthier, happier and more meaningful life. My approach is empowering, insightful and collaborative. I strive to take an active role in the therapy process and help you discover things that need to change to improve your life, and then how to actually implement those changes.

Life's journey is full of detours, bumps, and obstacles. Seeking guidance allows for support through these challenging times. Peaceful Paws Therapy integrates counseling guidance along with the support and interaction of my therapy partners, Luna, the St. Bernard, and Charlotte the Golden Retriever. There is a body of research supporting animals in therapy to enhance physical, emotional, and social well being, and we strive to do just that.

Gifted students tend to set high expectations and standards for themselves; are perfectionistic and become profoundly disappointed, stressed, and hopeless if they feel they have failed to measure up to their expectations. Gifted individuals are intense and sensitive. Some may view these "big emotions" as illogical, scary, and risky. They need support in balancing their interpersonal and emotional self with their intellectual and logical self. Through setting goals that are realistic and healthy, educating gifted about their overexcitabilities, introducing healthy coping strategies, and self-soothing tools prove very impactful.

I hope to create a unique and individualized treatment plan that best fits you and your needs. I can help you through whatever ails you, including trauma, family of origin issues, self-esteem concerns, communication challenges, infidelity, attachment issues, anxiety, or depression. I have experience supporting individuals of all ages, couples, and families

Hello, and welcome! Are you finding life's challenges pretty overwhelming at times? I've been there, and I understand. I can help you explore those challenges and find the best way for you to address them. Are you at a crossroads in your journey, feeling that there must be more in life for you to experience? I've been helping clients with these and other concerns for over 35 years. I can help with anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality issues, health concerns, and grief and loss. Your sessions with me will be at least a full 60 minutes; I just don't believe in the "50 minute hour!" My education and experience as a registered nurse and psychotherapist allows me to provide you with an integrated and holistic approach to whatever you are experiencing in your life. Our emotions and mental status are always intertwined with our physical health and need to be approached as a whole. I also believe that we are more than our mind/body selves. There are aspects to our lives that cannot be explained by traditional studies, and these need to be acknowledged, too.

I work from a Narrative Theoretical Lens, which means that I believe the stories we tell are reflective of the life we are living. I also engage in an integrative approach which means I pull from many different therapeutic techniques. I welcome all clients, and provide an empathetic, warm space to my clients. Whether you need assistance in working through a traumatic event, gaining better stress management and coping skills, or just someone to process some of life's toughest moments, I strive to serve all clients.

Making a change in life is not always easy, but also not impossible. Gain insight and make lasting changes in your life in an encouraging, safe, and supportive environment. Learn to develop the confidence and skills to be a happy, healthy, and successful individual. My background includes working with anxiety, depression, attention/focus issues, motivation, trauma, life transitions, relationships, stress management, family system issues, and substance abuse. Using a relational and solution-focused approach, I provide support and strategies individualized for your needs.

It's incredibly important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience, clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with you. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, to challenge you, and to consider the impact of culture and identity

You can be happy and confident in your sexuality and sex life. Even if you feel as though it has disappeared, is out of control/"addicted", or is broken, there is hope. I work with clients who always or never want sex, who feel guilt or shame about sex, who are feeling overwhelmed by sex, whose genitals aren't working how they want, who are trying to figure out their sexuality, who are unhappy with sex in their relationship, whose relationships have been hurt by their own or their partner's sexuality, and so much more. If you are wanting to discover, rediscover, reclaim, repair, rescue, or revive your sexuality, I can help you.

I believe in plain talk and getting to the root of the issue. To that end, we will name the elephant in the room and then work together to meet the goals that you have for yourself and your mental well being. I've always said that theory and application are two different things. I will not make you fit into a preconceived psyche mold, rather we will plot the therapy course that meets your needs and goals from where you have been to where you are going. The distance between dreams and reality is called action. Take action.

I come from a strength based perspective that believes any one can succeed no matter their struggles. I am trained in various forms of therapy for individuals with histories of abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression and others. I take the perspective that my clients and I are a team that through the use of tools like EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapies, we work together to identify the problem and work on solutions.

Hello. I'd like to introduce myself and tell you a bit about my background. I have a deeply held passion for helping people transform their lives. My expertise is in the areas of sexual trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and marriage and family counseling. My preparation and education includes advanced training in sexual trauma, complex trauma, and sexual addiction through Masters and Johnson. As an affiliate faculty member at Regis University and former Assistant Professor at Colorado Christian University, I have also taught graduate courses in each of these fields.

We all go through times of sef-doubt, depression and anxiety. Life change can amplify these. I believe all feelings are valid, because we are feeling them. What we think about them can create a harmful or helpful situation. Being very present creates calm as we are in the situation as it happens rather than in the past or future thinking about what we did or will do. This practice strengthens relationships as well as offers personal insight and growth. My job as the therapist is to allow my clients a place to explore the space in their heads. I help clients accept and understand their emotions creating new behavior patterns.

We all encounter challenges that affect our quality of life. Although struggles are part of the normal human experience, we were not meant to work through them alone. My passion is to come alongside you to help you find healing and change as you journey down this path called life. I am here to provide support, encouragement, and my expertise to help you find the strength to overcome whatever life has thrown your way. I specialize in helping you navigate through anxiety, depression, and trauma. My mission is that when you embark on this journey you can come out victorious, empowered, and filled with hope and purpose.
