I’m a trauma therapist and addictions counselor. It's where my hearts at. I have the unique ability to see beneath the stains in a person and help them see what's always been underneath. I can help you heal as far as you’re willing to go. I take the following insurances: Medicaid ,Optum Medicaid, Health Children's Insurance Program(CHIP) Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care UHC/UHB, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, Carelon Behavioral Health, Oscar Health Care, Oxford, Quest Behavioral Health and I have sliding scale rates
I am a therapist for everyone else. I have a laid back style. I am able to treat most mental health needs. I have two masters degrees, post grad endorsements but more importantly, I have lived experience.
In session, I am not the expert in the room, you are. There's an old saying, nobody care what you know until they know you care. As your therapist I will earn the right to speak into your life. We will go as far as your willing to go.
