I have a passion for helping people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, difficult life transitions, personality disorders, and relational hardships.

My goal is to help you feel settled once again, to develop more satisfying relationships, and to create purpose and meaning in your life.

I work with adults in the Colorado Springs and surrounding area and specialize in Internal Family Systems therapy and art therapy. As a level 2 IFS Institute trained therapist, I am passionate about seeing people live life more wholeheartedly. Often, the parts of ourselves we fear or feel ashamed of mark places in our lives where we’ve made sacrifices and hard choices to protect ourselves when there were no better options. You deserve a life of wholeness where every part of you is loved. You may be surprised to experience the life-giving qualities and inner wisdom that’s always been inside of you underneath the burdens you carry.

Offering Telehealth Therapy in Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas. My passion is to help people in need as effectively as possible. Most of us in the field have a story and mine is one that compels me to be an encourager of others in the midst of emotional, relational and psychological pain. Through three decades of study in Psychology and Theology, I have come to a deep appreciation of both traditions and disciplines. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor between the client, God, and me...and each one is vital for the desired outcome.

Throughout our lives we face many challenges, and sometimes we need more clarity and support than we find around us. This is where a trained clinical mental health provider can help bring specialized support to what you’re experiencing. Whether you are struggling with a bout of depression, living with ongoing anxiety, or have unprocessed trauma/abuse from childhood or last week, counseling can help you move from merely surviving to thriving.

I sincerely believe that one's perception is their reality, and understanding that perception allows me to connect with them in a more therapeutic manner. Each client brings their own unique story, and hearing that story brings valuable insight. My goals in the therapeutic setting are to earn and build client trust, to always be authentic, to model empathy and warmth, to employ unconditional positive acceptance, to assist with reframing problematic thinking to foster potential solutions for happiness and healing, and to foster development of healthy coping skills as needed.

Have you had adverse experiences in childhood or as an adult? Maybe you struggle to manage stress, or have difficulty with nightmares or sleep. Are you anxious, depressed, or fearful? Trauma takes on many forms: abuse, neglect, abandonment, divorce, assault, wartime experiences, accidents, or natural disasters, to name a few. I offer compassionate treatment for people who need assistance in overcoming the effects of disturbing events. I help clients improve their quality of life by developing coping skills, processing their thoughts, feelings and experiences, and empowering them to set healthy boundaries.

Navigating the rivers of life can become rocky. Sometimes we need an objective person to help us through the rough rapids. I can work with you to develop new strategies for success, plot out new courses, and feel better in time. I do so by empowering you with confidence in a safe environment. I have over twenty years of experience working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, family, grief, and finding personal meaning. More specific to me, I have specialties working with spiritual issues. I have written two books on psychology and spirituality.

Ready to find the root of your anxiety, trauma, sadness, negative self-talk or depression? I believe that healing and wholeness is possible.

Come connect, be heard, understood, and challenged through safe, compassionate therapy and educational, evidenced-based interventions.

Connecting with clients on a deep level is absolutely vital as a therapist. I take pride in getting to know YOU personally, and tend to take more of a coaching role throughout therapy. Our sessions together are all about your journey, no issue is too big or small. My specialty and first therapeutic love is working with couples. I believe that all couples have the ability to get back to the honeymoon phase--and stay there. I also LOVE working with couples in the pre-marital/pre-engagement phase. I consider it an honor to give engaged couples a safe place to work through the kinks before embarking on their great journey together!

Hey there! I am so glad you found me. I care so deeply about humanity, relationships, love, and individuals (like you) having the freedom to be themselves. I support people in discovering their innate capacity for emotionally rich connection to themselves and others, and the courage to live into their autonomy, creativity, passion, and love. I work with survivors of fundamental, religious & spiritual cults, sexual assault & childhood developmental trauma.

I love working with people who have anxiety and/or depression. Their issues may be broad as depression may look very different person to person. Their needs, too, may vary greatly. Everyone's goals may differ, but within my work with individuals the goal should be to mitigate anxiety, decrease depressive symptoms, and reawaken a sense of hope.
