Counselors & NPs Available for You

When we go through difficult seasons, it is easy to feel alone and isolated. When bad things happen to us in the past, they tend to shadow our present; we feel trapped, as if we can never escape from our history. We may feel that we can never improve and that it's all hopeless. However, there is hope, there is healing, and there is wholeness. As your therapist, I fill the role of "empathic witness" by meeting you where you are and walking alongside you in your journey to wholeness. Based on my understanding of the mind-body connection, my professional philosophy involves working with you to explore how your body and brain influence your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, manage overwhelming emotions, and promote calmness in both your body and mind. I value the therapist-client relationship because it is essential for fostering healthy change. I strive to help you feel safe, secure, and empowered in our sessions. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who have a trauma background and are feeling stuck in their anxiety and depression. Together, we can help you regain control over your life.

Have you been searching for a therapist who will take the time to truly understand your heart? Are you ready to learn more about yourself and discover new ways to think through beliefs that no longer serve you? As a therapist who has been "on the other side of the couch," I know what it can be like to find someone you feel connected with, who is also willing to walk through your journey with you. As a mind-body-based therapist, I primarily use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help clients better connect with themselves, which is a significant component of recovering from trauma. I also work with clients through a "parts" work lens that stems from Internal Family Systems (IFS). Both of these approaches allow clients to identify and connect with parts of themselves that they may have shut down from awareness while in survival mode. Additionally, I utilize other modalities, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused, Strength-Based, and Motivational Interviewing. I am equipped to compassionately support those who have survived and persisted through trauma, both childhood and adult, as well as those who struggle with anxiety, depression, life coaching needs, relationship issues, substance abuse, medical conditions, and life transitions. If you are looking for a therapist who is willing to help you discover the depths of your heart and not turn back in fear, I invite you to reach out and see if we're a good fit.

As an emerging therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate grief, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique journey. My approach is rooted in understanding, empathy, and a belief in the resilience of the human spirit. As a proud Latina woman, my decision to pursue therapy was inspired by my own life experiences and the encouragement I received from students I had the privilege of working with. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel empowered to explore their emotions, heal, and ultimately embrace their true selves. My mission is to guide clients toward self-discovery and help them reclaim their inner strength to navigate life’s challenges.

As a dedicated counselor, I guide individuals through the complexities of emotional well-being, relational patterns, and personal growth. My work is rooted in existential philosophy, blending eclectic and trauma-informed approaches to empower clients to explore their authentic selves and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. I believe in the profound impact of social connectedness on mental health and self-esteem, and I’m passionate about helping clients build relationships that foster trust, empathy, and belonging. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I offer compassionate support to those seeking to enhance their connections with themselves and others. Through a strength-based lens, I work collaboratively with clients to embrace vulnerability, acknowledge their unique stories, and empower them to make meaningful lasting change. True growth happens in relationship with others and with oneself.

I use an integrative approach to meet my clients where they are, tailoring my methods to honor each unique and individual experience. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to walk alongside you through the uncertainty, challenges, and messiness that life often brings, helping you navigate the twists and turns with clarity and resilience. Together, we can explore and uncover the root of your concerns, identify the barriers that may be holding you back, and develop strategies to move towards inner peace, growth, and happiness. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or navigating a major life transition, I am here to support you. Whatever it is that you're carrying, we'll face it together with compassion, curiosity, and care, while working toward a sense of empowerment and healing.

Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your mental health! It is important to me, as a therapist, that you feel comfortable in a therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard. No one knows more about your life and experiences than you do! We will be able to work collaboratively to help you take the next steps to reach your goals and feel heard in a safe place. Therapy is not a "one and done" experience, and my goal is to provide the necessary tools, resources, and skills to help you thrive based on your individual needs. I look forward to working with you through this healing process.

We all need a safe space to express ourselves, to be seen, heard, and validated without judgment. I am passionate about helping people feel emotionally safe. People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they need to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.

The hardest step is starting counseling. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship by creating a safe place for you to be. I want to foster a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for all my clients—a place where you want to come, learn, and grow. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you to help you get where you want to be, becoming a happy, healthy, and thriving individual. You are the expert of yourself, and I believe in being client-centered, allowing you to lead the therapeutic process. I believe real change occurs when you are ready for it. I am passionate about helping you reach your goals and the future you desire.

I deeply respect the transformative power of therapy and see it as a space where compassion meets shared human experience. Each session is an opportunity to honor my clients' stories with care and support mutual growth. My approach is strengths-based, focused on helping clients reframe their narratives as survivors, not victims, while highlighting their resilience in the face of challenges. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, collaborative space where we can explore self-discovery, growth, and healing together, guided by empathy and respect.

Hi there! I'm Annie, and I am originally from Arizona. I am a 22-year retired Air Force Veteran and a 20-year Coloradan. I am an avid holistic wellness enthusiast. I specialize in chronic illness, autoimmune struggles, unresolved childhood/partner/religious trauma, and the grief that comes with those. I am a mom of two kiddos and an American Akita owner. I love to laugh as we heal. Healing can be fun! Life is often referred to as a book. Two pages are written for everyone; the first is about LIFE, and the last is about death. The center pages are empty. What you write in those pages can be whatever you choose. Even when the book gets dirty, torn, or broken, the blank pages are still there...waiting for you to fill them. Life is full of twists and turns, and how we are fundamentally taught to handle life varies from person to person. We are all so unique. My view of therapy is that of a helpmate. I walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and wholeness. Trauma is written in every single one of our books to some degree. What happens to us can often become a part of our identity. I aim to help you reclaim your true self and walk out of trauma with newfound hope and vision to fill those pages of your story. Let's do this together!
