Postpartum Therapy - Empowering Mothers, One Step at a Time

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!

I moved from Arizona nine years ago to Colorado. I love all the adventure Colorado provides. Most of all, I love the cool summer nights and building a snowman in the winter. While here in Colorado, I have been attending school and have received two degrees in Applied Behavioral Psychology and one Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Therapy is a collaborative journey. As we work together, I believe symptoms can be reduced. I am a trauma-informed counselor who practices from an integrated systems perspective, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, non-directive approaches, indirect play therapy, and motivational interviewing. My therapeutic approach encompasses relational counseling with a focus on person-centered therapy. I also incorporate a strength-based and solution-focused approach. I also utilize modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Furthermore, I offer unconditional positive regard to all of my clients as we journey together in the counseling relationship.

Welcome! Therapy is about having a good "fit" that can blossom into a great therapeutic relationship. A therapist who is willing to listen while working alongside a client is essential. Treatment often sounds very clinical; however, I encourage you to remember that the goals and objectives of treatment are intended to be collaborative and client-directed. Therapists are not meant to "fix" people but are called to be catalysts of change through which the client navigates their circumstances. As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my role is to listen and provide options for treatment approaches that fit your needs in a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. I look forward to being a part of your team.

As a counselor, my goal is to aid you in reclaiming your inner strength and resilience, empowering you to heal from past wounds, overcome obstacles, and navigate the challenges that life may bring. I am here to guide and support you as you work through difficult emotions and experiences, helping you to uncover hidden strengths and develop new coping strategies. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can openly explore your emotions, identify patterns or behaviors that no longer serve you, and set meaningful goals for personal growth. Together, we will work to uncover a deeper, more meaningful sense of self—grounded in self-discovery, authenticity, and a greater understanding of your unique journey. Whether you are looking to process past trauma, strengthen relationships, or gain clarity about your direction in life, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of experience in psychiatry and medication management. I've had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds overcome a variety of mental health challenges, from depression and anxiety to more complex conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Throughout my career, I've become increasingly passionate about the importance of accessible mental health care. I firmly believe that everyone should have access to high-quality mental health services, regardless of their age, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle. Unfortunately, many barriers to care still prevent people from getting the help they need, such as long wait times, limited insurance coverage, and stigmatization. That's why I've made it my mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is accessible and inclusive to all. Whether you're struggling with a mental health issue for the first time or have been living with a condition for years, I'm here to help. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, and I always strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard and supported. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don't hesitate to reach out!

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.

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.

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.

Struggling with one’s own mental health or serving as a caregiver to someone else’s disorder often feels lonely, as if no one else could possibly understand. You will find an understanding audience with me and gain a sense of hope. As a husband, parent, grandparent, veteran, and 20-year professional secondary educator, my spirituality has provided the foundation, perspective, tools, truths, and wisdom to persevere through many of life's common hardships, giving me empathy for those overwhelmed by life. I am a Christian counselor who uses Biblical principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment awareness to help individuals gain contentment and support heterosexual couples in building intimate marriages. I teach how to parent teens using Love and Logic. For parenting and family work, I draw on 20 years of experience in secondary public education, working holistically with whole family units to enrich relationships by reducing conflict, as many families have told me, "This has completely changed the climate in our home!" "And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
