About me
Hello! I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado who enjoys working with adults that are struggling with life, mental health concerns and/or addiction. We all have hurts, habits, or hang-ups during our life and can find it helpful to have someone walk along side for support and encouragement. I look forward to meeting you!
Life is complicated and often difficult. We all have difficulty at times in our life, we make mistakes, have struggles, and may even regret things from our past. Some of us have experienced abuse, mental health issues, addiction, or dysfunctional relationships. It is important for me to honor your past, listen to your story and respect your beliefs. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental environment that fosters self-exploration, collaboration, encourages growth, restores wholeness, provides hope and peace.
I have several years of experience using evidenced-based practices. These therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and expressive art. I also love to use humor, stories and experiential/expressive techniques during sessions.
It would be a privilege to meet you and assist you with starting your healing journey. Please email, call, and schedule a session. I look forward to talking with you!
