Faith-Based Therapy for a Life of Hope and Purpose

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Reaching out for help can be daunting, and I applaud you for taking this initial step toward living a more rewarding life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working closely with you to ensure that your treatment goals are always my priority. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of anxiety and have extensive experience with adults dealing with trauma exposure, such as victims of crime, domestic violence survivors, and combat veterans. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with parents to enhance the parent-child relationship and address issues related to child non-compliance, aggression, and school behaviors, as well as supporting adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, and work-life balance issues. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to change, and I would be honored to assist you as you strive for a more fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable life.

I am passionate about helping you live your best life. Maybe you're not even sure what that looks like yet, but you know something about the way you're living isn't right. Let's figure that out and get you on track. I want to help you handle those hurdles so you can enjoy your life and relationships again. My primary clientele is young women ages 15 and up. A Colorado native, I double majored in Psychology and Acting at the University of Colorado in Boulder and obtained my Master's in Counseling from Adams State University. I live in Boulder County with my husband, three dogs, and one cat. I love photography, hiking, home projects, travel, and reading crime dramas! I volunteer with several local dog rescues. *Please note that the intake session you sign up for is the slot you will have available for all future sessions.

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides individualized and evidence-based care to people with a wide variety of mental health concerns in an environment that is professional, respectful, and empathetic. Seeking help can be intimidating. When I first meet someone, I strive to create a safe environment for each client to feel heard, supported, and comfortable. I get to know each client as a whole person with a unique history, life experiences, interests, and goals. My approach to care is always collaborative and flexible, with clients as active participants in their care. By working together, I am confident I can help clients minimize their distressing symptoms, attain a sense of fulfillment, and improve their quality of life.

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.

As a professional clinician, I understand the significance of therapy and believe that together, we can navigate the path towards improvement. Your comfort is paramount, and we will proceed at a pace that suits you, working towards your desired goals for a better life. It would be my privilege to provide guidance and assistance, creating a customized plan tailored to your specific needs, marking the start of a new and prosperous chapter. I would be honored to have a conversation with you today, which will kickstart your healing journey. I have a specific interest in incorporating somatic approaches into therapeutic practices within the workplace. I am skilled in utilizing cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches to enhance treatment outcomes. My primary objective is to actively engage in deep listening and provide assistance in fostering meaningful connections and developing effective coping mechanisms.
