I will help you to transform your life. My therapeutic approach is Humanistic and person-centered, and I aim to make my clients to feel fully seen, heard, and understood. I understand that going to therapy is not always pleasant, so I incorporate art therapy and movement-based interventions to help increase my clients’ window of tolerance over time. I use trauma-informed techniques to teach my clients how to regulate themselves when they are triggered. My approach incorporates working with the shadow self and integrating parts that have incurred trauma.

My focus as an integrative art therapist and counselor is on holistic well-being. I believe all of us have the potential to be whole and healthy. Even though our thoughts and feelings about life’s experiences and challenges may have impacted our mental health and well-being, they are still inside of us, waiting to be rediscovered. My goal is to support you in using your inner resources to successfully move forward in a meaningful way. One way to do this is through art therapy, which is fun and engaging, and requires no artistic skills. It combines art-making and creativity with psychotherapy to encourage greater self-awareness and

Harmony Arts Counseling is an art therapy practice for people of all ages interested in using art to help understand and express their emotions. This process is often both intuitive and fun for all ages, but especially children, as they naturally tend to be more creative. Another one of my specialties includes children, adults, and caregivers dealing with medical conditions or events. Being both a nurse and an art therapist, helping people cope emotionally with a physical ailment is my passion (In-home services available for bed bound or home bound clients).

At Colorado Healing Collective (CHC) we believe that the healing of the individual is the key to the healing of our world. We believe that every individual, regardless of past experiences and current challenges, has the ability to heal, to build a healthier, more meaningful life, and to be a contributing member of an interconnected community. We believe that through psychotherapy, training, education, and building an awareness and acceptance of self and others, each of us can be important facilitators of personal and global change.

I love working alongside adults and teens who are ready to explore what is going on underneath their symptoms. Clients I support seek therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA2S+, neuroqueer, and neurodiverse clients. Much of my work has involved supporting clients while they navigate life transitions and work towards redefining their relationship with experiences such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clients can expect a holistic approach to their care that includes elements of mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative process. If you are interested in discovering or deepening your sense of embodiment, I can help facilitate that journey. I focus on uncovering my client's innate brilliance so that they can recognize the wisdom and compassion within themselves.

My approach looks at people holistically concentrating on the interactions between thoughts, emotions, physical wellness, and spirituality. I do not have a cookie cutter approach and understand that life and individuals are complex. The relationship between therapist and client is the driving force for change; therefore my number one goal is to build a strong and supportive alliance. I use play therapy with children and expressive therapies (art and creative writing) with clients of all ages. I enjoy working in creative ways with clients when it is a good fit.

If you're a woman in transition and/or have a history of trauma/PTSD, I'm here to help you move through unknown territory with more ease. It often takes working through self-esteem issues, feelings of overwhelm, sadness and self-doubt. A trauma history can profoundly interfere with you living your best life. Perhaps you're looking for a change in career, a direction in life purpose or maybe you're dealing with chronic illness or recently out of a longtime relationship/marriage. I offer you a unique and effective approach to helping you feel more uplifted, grounded, and on your way to living a a more empowered and fulfilling life.

I work with clients who feel there is more to who they are than how they are currently living, and who are committed to making a shift. My relational approach encourages the therapeutic process to be a co-creative exploration between clients and myself, meeting as a collaborative team. Working holistically, with the body and mind, I work with clients towards re-patterning old constructs to support living from a place of balance and deep presence. Together, we uncover new perspectives that are in support of the client's goals and growth.

I am currently accepting clients ages 3-10 AND 20-65 who deal with depression and anxiety. I creatively support gender and racially diverse clients, including students, mamas, papas, children, and adults making life transitions. I love working in nature with art, stories, and metaphors. My clients often deal with grief, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and boundaries. In therapy, we take these wounds and uncover their “Golden Shadow.”

I am on maternity leave from January 1st - April 30th, 2024 and will not be accepting new clients until May 2024.

You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or addiction and seeking insight into this life journey you are on. Perhaps you seek to understand the complex tapestry your life has become in order to find healing for the pain you have always carried, or maybe you’re struggling with a lack of direction or low self-esteem. I also guide people through the loss that accompanies life transitions, including the death of a loved one, a career change, or another transition such as midlife, empty-nest, divorce, or health recovery.

Sometimes your mind and your body seem to be giving you completely different messages, leaving you feeling confused, disconnected, and stuck. I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy and Art Therapy with a foundation in Social Justice Counseling to support you in reconnecting (or connecting for the first time) with yourself, coping with current life stressors, and processing traumas and wounds. I offer an approach that combines Art Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic trauma processing), and mindfulness, which are often more effective than words alone in supporting deep and lasting change on a nervous system level.

When you seek change, there is a good reason. You may feel overwhelmed, stressed or have too many days feeling bad. How do I feel better or make a change? This is the place to start, therapy with compassionate, kind and non-judgemental support through this challenging time. Together we will create a path to understand your pain and the path out the other side to feeling good, confident and valued. We will look at patterns of behaviors and thoughts that are not helpful, boundaries that are draining and the patterns that weave your life. This path is challenging, interesting and fun. It is wonderful to feel content and confident.

I help support folks who feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or trapped to experience their power, depth, and freedom to choose. We'll use a combination of traditional talk therapy along with art materials and processes to bring your internal world, which may be invisible, unconscious, or that "words can't describe", into workable concrete form, and create opportunities for reflection, problem solving, and integration. My approach focuses on cultivating skills of body-based mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and a deep reckoning with addictive patterns, to support clear expression and action in your life.

Do you find yourself disconnected from your presence and the enjoyment of your life here and now? Art is inherently therapeutic. In the context of a therapeutic relationship and traditional talk therapy, it becomes a powerful tool to help find and untangle the knots that bind our soulful aliveness. As an art therapy, I work with adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD by helping them to access their own natural creativity with or without the use of art materials.
