Medicaid (all CO Medicaid Programs), BCBS/Anthem, Cigna, Aetna and private pay are accepted. You've experienced events that have impacted your self-worth, confidence, and ability to trust yourself or others. You may feel stuck, not good enough, or overwhelmed. You're feeling "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and life feels unmanageable. You're ready to take your power back. I commonly work with clients whose lives have been touched by trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance use, as well as, clients who are going through career transitions.

I believe, one of the best things we can do for ourselves, is begin to understand our own story. Life may bring us many changes and challenges that can hold us back from living our lives to our fullest potential. When we approach these changes and challenges with curiosity rather than fear, we slowly begin to take back control of our own lives.

Whether you are simply adjusting to a new or difficult situation or have felt trapped in a cycle of difficult emotions for years, it is my belief that each person already harbors the ability to heal from within. My goal in working with clients is to create a trusting environment in which they can feel comfortable to identify, explore, and overcome obstacles that may be inhibiting them from living their best life. As a therapist, it is my role to walk alongside clients in their unique journey of uncovering their innate strengths, learning tools to better navigate stressors, better manage the ups and downs of life, and thrive.

Brené Brown says one of the bravest things you can do is to just show up, and here you are, taking a huge step in your journey toward healing. Regardless of what step you're on, I truly look forward to getting to know you. Many of us have experienced life’s ups and downs, and some of those downs are often troubling, distressing, or traumatic. You’ve probably felt like the light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t exist at times (or maybe all the time). I’m here to tell you that it does exist, even though it seems so far away. I believe each of us can healthily process emotions to help heal our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

I also have expertise in dealing with childhood trauma, particularly male childhood sexual abuse. My work with clients centers around clarifying their connection with their intuition. In doing so, I focus on creating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where one can freely express their thoughts and feelings and begin to truly understand their internal experience.

Unexpected wrinkles can surprise and derail us in our lives. These events can leave us with big emotions that can disorient, leaving us confused, dejected, and helpless with more questions than answers. These emotions can lead to further negative thoughts and overwhelming emotions leaving us feeling stuck. I can come alongside with encouragement, support, and skills to move toward the changes you desire. I look forward to partnering with you to identify changes, empower you, and celebrate with you.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.
