Therapists in Colorado

You may look like you have everything together on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about how to move forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, women's issues, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change, loss, self discovery, or emotional distress when the strategies that once worked no longer seem enough. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry, processing difficult experiences, navigating relationship challenges, rebuilding your confidence, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and heal. My goal is to help you gain greater clarity, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values, needs, and sense of purpose.

I am a seasoned therapist who enjoys working with client of all ages. I have been able to obtain a quality education that has helped me gain great skills to work with individuals, couples, and families. I believe that we all need to have positive acceptance in our lives, and to be able to connect with a therapist who accepts without judgment. I form a bond with my clients and allow them to be their true selves. It is a privilege to be able to help people find their way. I believe that therapy should be a partnership experience that empowers clients to find the best solutions for themselves, even when the solutions are hard. I provide the safe space that is needed for clients to process prior trauma, current life events and experiences. I am supportive, positive, and encouraging, and do all that I can to help my clients achieve their best life possible.

I love living in Colorado and enjoy spending time with my pets and loved ones. As a psychotherapist, I am dedicated to providing a supportive, compassionate, and effective experience for each of my clients, no matter what challenges they may be facing. One of my specialties is trauma work, and I have assisted many clients heal from PTSD. I also work with individuals experiencing mood disorders, families navigating relationship challenges, and couples seeking to strengthen their connection. I especially enjoy work with children and teens and value collaborating with other professions to support each client's overall well-being. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and collaborative space where you can be yourself.

I would describe myself as warm, creative, compassionate and lively. I'm not afraid to gently question or challenge you if needed, and I'll always speak authentically about our work together and the work outside. Humor definitely has a place in my work so we will laugh together sometimes while we figure things out together. I am genuinely interested in your story and I will listen deeply to understand what brought you to counseling and where you want it to take you.

I help teens and women heal from complex childhood trauma, neglect, and abuse—especially when those experiences show up as people-pleasing, identity loss, painful relationships, intense emotions, or a complicated relationship with food and their bodies. I became a therapist because this work genuinely matters to me. Over the past nine years, I have seen how trauma can remain hidden beneath perfectionism, overachievement, unhealthy relationships, disordered eating, and the feeling that you have no idea who you are because you spent so long surviving. I also understand that trauma symptoms are frequently misunderstood, treated only at the surface, or confused with features associated with diagnoses such as Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder. I take time to understand the whole person—not just the label. I am warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I balance validation with respectfully challenging the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck. I have ADHD, three tiny chihuahua coworkers named Bryn, Blair, and Bowie, plus licenses to provide therapy in Florida, Illinois, Texas, and Colorado. I am proudly a girls’ girl, and my practice is mainly focused on the mental health and relational experiences of teens and women. *I generally do not work with men for therapy*
