(she/her)
Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado. Texas. Oregon, Pennsylvania and Iowa; I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in Colorado. I have over 15 years of experience counseling individuals, couples, and groups. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2010, my studies and career have focused on identifying underlying problems contributing to substance use and problematic behaviors. I find that trauma is typically the most common underlying issue that contributes to anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship problems and a lack of self-esteem. I specialize in the treatment of trauma using several approaches: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); and Polyvagal therapy.
In our first session we will discuss the problems you are experiencing that have brought you to therapy. I will answer any questions you have and we will establish goals you want to achieve in therapy. We will talk about what can work best for your situation and how we will work together to improve the quality of your life.
Having worked with individuals suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety and substance use I have discovered that while our problems may be similar, we are all individuals with different experiences. It is important to me that you feel heard, understood and respected.
I love working with individuals who are eager to improve the quality of their life. When we have suffered life-altering disappointments, we tend to feel that we are different from others. When we try to connect with others, sometimes it doesn't work out as anticipated. These disappointments can make us feel there is no hope for us. I am enthusiastic about helping individuals discover their true selves and find meaning and purpose in their lives.

I have used CBT for over 12 years and find it highly effective for the majority of mental health disorders. We identify the negative beliefs and reframe them into positive beliefs that will result in positive behaviors.
I have used CPT for over 10 years for clients suffering from trauma. The client reflects on how PTSD has impacted their life and they then identify the beliefs they developed about key areas in their life. We then consider alternative ways of thinking to change the beliefs.
I have used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for eight years and find it highly effective for individuals with PTSD. I was trained by an EMDRIA trainer over a six month period. EMDR helps you make sense of the distressing events in your memories that continue to negatively affect your emotions and behaviors in the present. Once you process the distressing memories you gain a different perspective and that's when real healing and change happen.
I have used Motivational Interviewing (MI) for over 12 years. I use it most often with individuals suffering from substance use disorders. MI empowers individuals to change by helping them identify their own meaning, importance and capacity for change.
I am trained in Polyvagal Therapy and use it in my practice for individuals suffering from anxiety, depession and PTSD. I use it when an individual suffers from trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze) which affects their ability to regulate and feel safe in relationships. I use it alone or as a supplement to other treatment methods.
