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.

" The world breaks everyone and afterward, many are strong at the broken places" Ernest Hemingway. There is no better way to capture the meaning of this quote than by helping you become stronger at the broken places. I specialize in working with high-functioning clients who have a strong need for success, are goal oriented and strive to learn new skills to overcome challenges such as high stress, loss, grief, trauma, feelings of disconnection, perfectionism and compulsive behaviors. Through 20+ years of practice, I understand we cannot change the past however I firmly believe we can heal our relationships from its effects.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would love for you to contact me so we can meet and see if we may be the best fit for the experience that awaits you. I am excited to meet you.

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.

I combine Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) & Aquatic Therapy (AT), Geek therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in moving toward balance. DMT is psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, & physical integration of the person. AT is use of water & specifically designed activity to aid in restoration, extension, maintenance & quality of function for persons with acute, transient, or chronic disabilities, syndromes, or diseases. Geek Therapy combines fandom & concepts clients relate to with CBT, DBT and other approaches to address client needs.

No matter where you're at in life, there can be a lot of challenges that increase or cause distress. From having difficulty communicating with family members to struggling with adapting to life's changes. From challenges in developing healthy peer relationships to dealing with conflict within your support group. We are all dealing with so many changes in our lives, it can become overwhelming without someone who can be non-judgmental, unbiased, and able to provide unconditional acceptance to help navigate those changes. I specialize in EMDR and adolescent therapy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for nature-based services, spiritual practices, and expressive arts. Combining art, spirituality and nature results in a unique and empowering experience for clients of all ages. People are free to discover and share their life experiences in a safe and honoring environment. Sharing one's pain and experiences can be hard, and I strive to be a compassionate, warm and understanding listener. Each person's life story is sacred, and there are a myriad of gifts waiting to be discovered and embraced. Much of my work is with Highly Sensitive People and empathic intuitives.

COUNSELING and COACHING -- it's a powerful 21st century approach, with tremendous therapeutic benefits and real world results. People frequently report, my therapist stares at me, and says or does nothing. This is classic 20th century therapy (it's old, and moderately effective). Our clients do not pay us to sit and do nothing -- they pay us to work as a team; making you the best you. Feel free to read client testimonials, and learn more about our services at: www.yourlifecounseling.com

I approach my clients from where they are coming from and what their needs are. While my specialty is trauma, depression, and anxiety, I hold a safe space for any needs. Together we will work to integrate what brings you into therapy. I believe diversity is a strength. Being Latina has helped me see this first hand. I use a multicultural point of view with an intercultural understanding. My pronouns are she/her, I am cishet, and I believe in respect for all people.
