Welcome

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, a Licensed Addictions Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor, my work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of the human experience. I prioritize understanding the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. I view many challenges as emerging from barriers to living an authentic and purposeful life. I consider the human experience to be an integration of physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects, and recognize that when any of these areas are neglected, individuals may develop patterns that no longer serve them. My therapeutic approach emphasizes cultivating self-awareness and fostering a deeper connection with one's authentic self, with the overarching aim of supporting personal growth and enhancing overall well-being.

My therapeutic framework

 As a therapist, I approach each individual with a holistic perspective, offering compassionate support within a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space. While I recognize that past experiences can shape our lives, I believe they do not have to determine our present or future. Through exploring the connection between thoughts and behaviors, clients can begin to shift patterns, gain insight, and re-author their personal narratives in a way that supports growth and healing.

Specialities

At the heart of my counseling services is a deep commitment to empowering women as they heal from adverse life experiences and reclaim their sense of self. I provide trauma-informed therapy for women, specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery, emotional abuse, domestic violence, and high-conflict relationship dynamics. I work with women navigating the lasting effects of trauma bonding, gaslighting, coercive control, and complex PTSD, helping them regain clarity, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with their inner strength.


With certifications in narcissistic abuse recovery and extensive experience treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, and dual diagnosis, I offer a safe, affirming space for clients to process their experiences and begin meaningful healing. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic therapy, and trauma-focused interventions, allowing for both emotional and physiological healing.


In addition to trauma and abuse recovery, I support women navigating parenting stress, grief and loss, racial identity, self-esteem challenges, and relationship issues. My work focuses on helping clients identify and shift survival-based coping patterns, establish healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self.
