Connect with Dialectical (DBT) therapy in Idaho Springs, CO

I am dedicated to illuminating the path to hope and joy for others. With experience working with adults and children as young as 3, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the sun will always rise. I weave together nature-based therapy, Somatic Awareness, Attachment, Exposure therapy, or play therapy to create a personalized healing journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Registered Art Therapist (ATR), Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), and a Certified Mood Disorder Professional (CMDP). I specialize in working with women experiencing anxiety and/or depression.

I am Strengths-based and Person-centered. I am passionate about assisting each client in their unique process of discovering their insights and strengths to help them navigate the primary issues that have brought them to therapy.

I am a feminist psychologist who works from a culturally-informed perspective. I believe the important work of psychotherapy is to enhance present skills and develop stronger experiences of identity, choices, and self-determination. I see my role as helping you decide who you are and how you will respond to your goals, struggles, and strengths.

There comes a time, or perhaps multiple times in a life journey, when we need a hand. We become overwhelmed with the stresses of work, relationships, and family, and we feel that we are losing our footing. I am here to help facilitate your path back to groundedness and meaning so that negotiating life's challenges can feel less of a chore.

My goal is to create a space where you feel fully heard, supported, and understood. Life can be challenging, and navigating relationships, identity, and external pressures isn't always easy—but you don't have to face it alone. I'll walk alongside you as you explore your path.

I understand starting the therapy process can be difficult, but I am here to help you along the way to meeting your personal goals. I have a broad range of clinical experience to address depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief. I believe in a collaborative approach to maximize progress during your therapeutic journey.

With over 20 years of experience, I want to help adults and couples with life changes, making decisions, improving relationships, as well as helping with mental health concerns. Life changes catch you off guard, and to adjust to the new situation, you just need support. Whatever the situation, this may be your present, but it is not your future.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relational challenges through a compassionate, faith-integrated lens. I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to my work, especially with military personnel and their loved ones. I offer a safe space where growth begins and hope is restored.

I offer virtual therapy for individuals and couples, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach integrates evidence-based methods to help you navigate challenges and build resilience.

It's easy to feel lost, anxious, and on the outside of life—especially when dealing with trauma, chronic health problems, or neurodiversity. My personal and professional experiences help me understand how these conditions are linked. I'll help you process emotions and manage anxiety while living with these intersectional conditions.

I want to hear your story, your thoughts, feelings, and how you make meaning of your experience and relationships. This way, I can walk with and empower you to better manage stressors and improve satisfaction in your relationships and quality of life. I'm here to support you in taking the steps towards a more fulfilling and resilient lifestyle.

I bring a unique mix of personal insights and professional experience to my practice. My background in Clinical and Sport and Performance Psychology, along with experience as a special education teacher, enables me to offer a wide range of services to support your growth and well-being.

Taking the first step to change can be scary, unless you have the support of someone compassionate. I offer a space where we can work together towards your goals for a better life. When you're ready, I am here to help.

The road to good mental health is often hard and lonely. Finding a counselor who connects with you can offer support along this journey. Taking the step to open up is challenging, but it offers freedom, opportunity, and self-respect. Trust that with guidance, we can change what no longer benefits us.
