Hi! I’m Richard, a counselor here in Colorado, and I'm genuinely excited for the opportunity to meet you! I believe that everyone is unique, with their own distinct life experiences and personal strengths. That's why my approach to therapy is all about building on the skills you've already developed and discovering new ones together; after all, who knows us better than ourselves? I love working collaboratively with each client to find the very best ways to support you on your journey, because I know that no therapy is one-size-fits-all. My goal is to provide you with a collaborative space full of curiosity to help you explore whatever issues are confronting you.

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 understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to meet you where you are. With over three years of experience, my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I deeply value the connections I make with my clients and believe that personal growth happens when you feel safe to explore your feelings, challenges, and aspirations. While not every therapist will be the right fit for everyone, my commitment is to walk alongside you and help you find the tools you need to move forward, whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
