Counselors & NPs Available for You

Once upon a time, a military medic took a moment to listen to the story of a soldier who was suffering somatically from the sheer amount of distress they felt. That medic found her "Ah-ha" and pursued further education within the mental health field with unmatched passion. Your healing is something I aspire to work together with you to achieve. My areas of expertise include working with populations such as children, teens, and parents. I am capable of addressing difficult and complex traumas by utilizing a trauma-informed approach. I strive for every patient encounter to leave you feeling appreciated as a human being and heard. I follow a person-centered approach while integrating other modalities as needed, including play therapy techniques.

Hello, I am very excited to embark on this journey with you to improve your mental health! My approach to counseling combines uncovering negative experiences and beliefs that harm your mental well-being with providing you practical tools to work through these issues. I achieve this by integrating skills from DBT, CBT, and ACT with deeper work through EMDR and IFS therapies. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including children, teens, families, and individual adults, and I believe that this knowledge allows for a holistic approach to working with each person. I hope that through our partnership, I can offer you the help you seek!

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!

Hello! I want my clients to feel empowered by their mental health journey to learn how to love themselves and those around them. I would be honored to walk alongside you! My approach to therapy is "Parts Work" (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), meaning that I believe we have various parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify these parts that may be holding you back from reaching your goals.

I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in multiple mental health conditions.
