Thank you for taking the first step toward starting therapy—this is a brave decision. I specialize in working with teenagers (12 and up) and adults who need support and effective tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. I'm dedicated to providing practical skills that can be used daily and am passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ and gender-nonconforming communities. However, I welcome anyone who is ready to make a change. If you’re unsure where to begin, let’s work together to create a plan and move forward.
I believe in using evidence-based therapies grounded in research. I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help manage difficult emotions, address self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and improve relationships. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to effectively treat trauma.
I'm excited to be part of Kikta Behavioral Health, where we deliver high-quality care using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and EMDR. Our collaborative team is committed to providing comprehensive support tailored to your needs. While I'm based in Buena Vista, Kikta serves clients across Colorado via tele-health and has another office in Lakewood.
