It is my primary goal as a counselor to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find the opportunities that may be lurking where it is most difficult to look. Through a unique therapeutic approach that combines Jungian symbology/dream-work with Narrative and Existential explorations, I will help you re-discover who you are. It is my mission to help you navigate life transitions, depression, anxiety, faith-based and spiritual concerns, as well as how to re-establish a connection with what is most important to you. AgesI have experience working with a wide variety of ages. My experience as a school counselor has helped prepare me for the challenges facing high school adolescents who struggle to understand who they are, and who they want to become. I have experience working with individuals of all ages who have difficulty identifying ways to connect. Additionally, I have worked with young and middle-aged adults navigating life's transitional stages. Most of all I take great care in helping people of all age ranges re-connect to themselves, their communities, and to something greater.QualificationsSchool: University of Colorado at Colorado SpringsYear Graduated: 2021License and State: LPCC.0018402Accepted InsurancesAetnaAnthem - BCBSBeacon (Kaiser)BINDCignaContinental BenefitsGEHAMedicaidUnitedHealthcare (Optum)UBH - AllsaversUMRTricareTreatment ApproachCognitive Behavioral (CBT)EclecticExistentialHumanisticJungianNarrative

I am a mother to 3 adult children, grandmother to the sweetest girl, and the wife of a very gifted husband. As a therapist, I've been challenged in treating people to a standard or healed. Every medical profession, except that of mental health, has a standard to bring a client to, in order to be considered healthy or healed. The Optometrist corrects vision to 20/20, a dentist corrects teeth to be straight or with no cavities, an orthopedic doctor corrects broken bones back in alignment. Therapists are called on to help restore, heal, and empower clients to move forward in life.Furthermore, as a wife of a retired military veteran, I have great admiration and love for our men and women who serve our great country. I have a passion to help those who are hurting through military deployments, separations, divorce, and all those who just need a listening ear to hear their story. I have survived deployments, yearlong separations, single parenting, and moving from state to state and overseas. I have endured many life hardships and fought many personal wars and have come out victorious.In addition, I have worked with the parole and probation population, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, schizophrenia, and those with addiction-type issues. I enjoy working with adults. Specializes in: Military Lifestyle, depression, anxiety, Co-dependency, addiction, and marital infidelity. My counseling style seeks to meet the needs of those I counsel. I am a faith-based counselor and have experience in CBT, DBT-based techniques, Reality-focused, and SFBT.The most daunting challenge for any client seeking help is making the first contact and walking through the door...there is victory on the other side if you are willing to take the first step in seeking it. My door is wide open and longing to help those who are weary, downtrodden or who just need to be affirmed or encouraged.My clients say I am listening intently, I engaged passionately, and have the ability to be direct, courageous, and yet kind and empathetic.

Additionally, I specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with defiance, neuro-typical difficulties/differences, trauma, and general anxiety/depression as well as recently postpartum mothers and mothers in general.

The hardest part of the therapeutic process is reaching the door of the therapist. It is my belief that the work has begun from that moment on. I believe the relationship you develop with your therapist is essential to feel and know you are "heard". Holding space for people and finding a way to the light of healing. Change occurs when a person is willing to bring the issue or issues into the light. As a therapist, it is my goal to assist you in finding deeper meaning and healing. It is my position to help you through the process. I look forward to helping you along the journey of healing.AgesI have experience working with clients of all ages.

Counselor DetailsWe all need help now and again through life's seasons and situations. I believe that we are created holistically (body, mind, spirit) with the ability for self-awareness, having freedom and responsibility for our lives. Individuals have needs for a unique identity and to be in a relationship with others. We all have the desire to derive meaning and purpose for our lives. With these attributes and guidance, we can purposefully use our thought processes to change behaviors, work through relationship issues, learn to manage obstacles, and navigate changing life stages.I have a family tradition with the Armed Forces as a dependent, spouse, and DoD civilian, which has given me firsthand knowledge of the military culture. I bring a lifetime of experience to sessions combined with evidence-based counseling practices.

Choosing to come to counseling and sharing your feelings and struggles can often feel daunting and somewhat overwhelming. As a clinician, I like to think there is great strength and taking that step to open yourself and begin to work through the things of life that tend to feel like "too much" or overwhelming in general. I often encourage everyone I work with to be patient with the process, recognizing that it is a process. Within that process, it does require active participation from the client, and at times with support from family and close friends. My focus is to help you to be better equipped in dealing with life's uncertainties. We will work together to best establish what it is you want to focus on and learn to better understand yourself and your responses/reactions to life. I am excited to embark on this journey with you and look forward to helping guide you to a healthier frame of mind and way of living.I enjoy working with the pre-teen, teen, and young adult population as they are learning to navigate life in a world vastly different from the one in which I grew up in. It also gives me the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of this age group and better understand how some mental health and life in general struggles manifest for them. It's also a great opportunity to work with the family as a whole and help everyone navigate and better understand the perspective of one another. I have experience working with individuals and families in regard to strengthening and sometimes developing better social and coping skills. I have utilized different curriculum and activities to help individuals better understand how their own personal struggles manifest and the best way to learn to manage and work through them. It is a joy to see a young person's insight flourish and grow in the midst of having the safety and freedom to fully express themselves and work to better understand healthier ways to manage life and how it is ever-changing.

Counselor DetailsI seek to co-create a secure, therapeutic space with you where you will have full permission to be who you are and connect to your innate wisdom and impulses towards healing. My approach is gentle and nourishing, yet I offer challenges for you to stretch beyond your comfort zone when needed. I am committed to approaching this work with whole-heartedness, humility, and meeting you in your vulnerability. Let's work together to support you in finding your voice, personal agency, and connection to internal and external supports that will allow you to thrive.AgesI have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults supporting them through the emotional waves of development and identity formation. Adolescence is often a turbulent, chaotic time of transition, and I seek to support young people in finding nourishing connections with themselves, others, and their community.

Counselor DetailsUsing an integrative approach that blends acceptance, compassion, research-based cognitive and somatic treatments, and mindfulness, I specialize in helping people identify and address the blocks that keep them from achieving what they envision in their lives. By gently and compassionately addressing coping issues that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other unpleasant sensations, even a few counseling sessions can help reduce negative thoughts and create changes that lead to a happier and healthier experience. As issues diminish, clients can go on to achieve their personal goals without the weight of unnecessary baggage that may have been tagging along. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness techniques, and other therapeutic interventions, I take pride in seeing clients prevail over issues that have deterred their progress for years. I am trauma-informed and use effective tools to gently help you address past and present traumas in order to overcome their negative impact on your life.It is my hope that in our sessions we can target and address problem issues, work on developing clear and open communication and make concrete action plans for changes you want to foster. I work to create an environment that’s supportive and empathic while also challenging to old patterns. I believe in the importance of balancing the mind, body and spirit and use modalities that support this.

Counselor DetailsHow I became a counselor: I have always enjoyed being able to create a safe space for people to share their thoughts and feelings. When I was younger my grandmother and I would sit in the kitchen and she would tell me all her memories, thoughts, worries, and fears. As I grew older more people naturally confided in me and I continued to observe the same trend. I noticed that just being present and curious with an individual would help them find their own answers and their worries would melt away. I became more curious about mental health as I entered high school fell in love and went off to college for a degree in clinical social work.

Welcome! Therapy is about having a good "fit" in which can blossom into a great therapeutic relationship. A therapist who is willing to listen when working alongside a client is essential.Treatment always sounds very clinical; however, I encourage you that the goals and objectives of treatment are intended to be collaborative and client-directed.Therapists are not intended to "fix" people but are called to be catalysts of change in which the client paces through their circumstances. As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my role is to listen and provide options of treatment approaches that fit your needs in a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. I look forward to being a part of your team.AgesI have had the privilege of working with individuals with varying ages ranging from 4-65 years old. I also have extensive training and experience with individuals with ASD as an RBT for over four years understanding applied behavior analysis.With youth under 12 years old, I have experience using child-centered and developmental play therapy modalities. Within the playroom, I have processed and/or addressed client experiences of trauma, ASD, developmental delays, boundary difficulties, identity, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and more. The experiences I have working with adolescence ages 13- early 20s include addressing issues revolving around identity, negative self talk, ASD, developmental delays, depression, relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, cutting, bullying, suicidal thoughts, spirituality, and more, either within a church setting or within a clinical setting using an eclectic approach to fit the individual.I also have experience working with adults ranging from their early 20s-mid 60s that navigated issues such as personality disorders, identity, trauma, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, anger management, medical issues, spirituality, parenting, autonomy difficulties, relational issues, suicidal thoughts, and more using an integrative and eclectic approach. I have truly enjoyed working with each diverse age group.QualificationsSchool: University of Northern ColoradoDegree: MA in Clinical Mental Health CounselingYear Graduated: 2020License and State: LPCC.0018001 ColoradoCertificationsMental Health First AidDisordersMood disordersNeurological disordersTrauma-and-stressor related disordersPsychotic disordersAnxiety disordersPersonality disordersImpulse-control disorders Type:Adolescent (14-17), Adult, Children (3-10), Preteen (11-13)Accepted Insurances: AetnaAnthem - BCBSBeacon (Kaiser)BINDCignaContinental BenefitsGEHAMedicaidUnitedHealthcare (Optum)UBH - AllsaversUMRTricareTreatment Approach: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)Christian CounselingCognitive Behavioral (CBT)Culturally SensitiveDialectical (DBT)EclecticExpressive ArtsIntegrativeInterpersonalMindfulness-Based (MBCT)Motivational InterviewingNarrativeParent-Child Interaction (PCIT)Person-CenteredPlay TherapyPositive PsychologySandplaySolution Focused Brief (SFBT)Trauma Focused

Counselor DetailsI am passionate about empowering individuals who have felt unseen, misunderstood, marginalized, and voiceless. I find joy in helping people gain a greater sense of self-worth and confidence, find meaning and purpose, and courageously tell their story. My goal as a therapist is to help you live a transformed, empowered life and find the courage to be your authentic self. I especially love to work with and empower women of all stages in life.My unique and wide array of experiences have shaped my heart for helping hurting people find healing. Through my experiences as a Kindergarten-12th grade art teacher, advocate for survivors of human trafficking, and work at an orphanage in Ghana, West Africa, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of art in expressing pain. I eventually moved overseas to be an Art Director of a therapeutic art program for trafficked children and adolescents in Ghana. This has fostered my love and appreciation for diversity, sensitivity towards multicultural issues, and passion for expressive arts therapy in healing from trauma. As an artist, I enjoy incorporating creative expression in therapy because art can facilitate personal growth and healing from trauma, abuse, loss, and heartache.I practice an authentic, attachment-based, client-centered approach in counseling and acknowledge your capacity to choose the direction, pace, and goals of therapy. I am honored to walk alongside you and believe in a strengths-based model to empower you to develop your own strengths and passions.

Emotional pain can cast shadows on our lives that break our hearts. We get stuck in feelings of worthlessness, emptiness, and brokenness. We struggle with distorted beliefs that there is something irreversibly wrong with us. It's hard to feel like we are not only missing something but that we are not worthy enough to have that something. This can leave us aching with sorrow. There is good news; you have a true self that is completely whole and knows how to find peace.My mission is to be with you in your shadows and unlock your inner power to heal. I’ll walk with you to the other side of your pain, where personal growth and healing happens. There is light and hope.

I want to help you find the key and show you how our lives are stories that we write, pen to paper, each day. I believe that you can transform every moment of your life in order to become exactly who you've always hoped to be. My experience has shown me that human beings consist of parts that yearn to be connected in a healthy way. At times, these parts are in conflict with one another, which blocks our path to success. I would like to help you achieve wholeness with all the beautiful parts of yourself.A key component of my approach as a counselor is to bring awareness to how we create our reality. I guide you in shifting maladaptive beliefs, to create an empowering story in which you are fully alive to your experience. I offer a safe space in which to express and understand yourself and heal. I have extensive knowledge of therapeutic tools which I tailor to each, individual client to best fit their needs and goals.The main areas of specialization that I have involve working with maladaptive coping skills and unhealthy perceptions of self, others and the world. Much of my prior clinical experience has taken place with male offenders in correctional facilities, whereas I conducted both individual counseling and group counseling. I worked with individuals who struggled with severe mental illness, interpersonal problems, anger management, thought distortions, maladaptive coping skills, and criminal behavior. I taught and guided individuals in using therapeutic tools and techniques to regulate emotions, manage relationship conflict, and ease symptoms of trauma.I am passionate about personal, professional, spiritual and emotional growth. I believe that we all have the ability to consistently evolve and continue to create the best version of our lives every day.

As a Brainspotting clinician, I am passionate about helping my clients become the best they can be by helping them to heal past trauma, develop their own voice as well as develop the skills needed to navigate difficult and complex situations in life. I feel it is imperative as a clinician and fellow human to understand that no one is defined by one experience. My therapeutic focus is founded in a person-centered, interpersonal neurobiological, and trauma-informed approach, utilizing attachment and developmental theory. I believe it is imperative as a clinician and fellow human to understand that no one is defined by one experience and to walk alongside my clients with humility, self-awareness, and honesty.I have worked in child protection with parents, children, adolescents, and families doing in-home services, parenting education, and teen advocacy.

I have extensive training in Brainspotting; which is a deeply effective intervention for trauma and negative experiences that impact daily functioning and well-being. I have completed Expansion Brainspotting as well as phases 1 and 2 and am working toward my Brainspotting certification. As a Brainspotting clinician, I feel it is the client that is the authority on their own experience and has the innate knowledge in realizing their own healing and possibilities - my role is to create an authentic and comfortable space to cultivate the healing process within the client. I believe it is through the therapeutic relationship and the unlimited potential of the client that creates the foundation for life-changing healing and insight through trust, compassion, and respect. I also work with couples and am in the process of becoming certified through The Couples Institute. My work with couples is founded in a developmental model; where we look at the stages within relationships as well as how childhood experiences and attachments inform our current attachment patterns in order to understand how to grow and have successful partnerships. I also enjoy working with adults and adolescents in many different areas; ranging from childhood and later in life trauma, parenting struggles, life transitions, identity issues, relationship challenges, and many other difficulties and situations.

Counselor DetailsThroughout my adult life, I felt a calling toward the helping professions. My primary goal as a counselor is to provide clients with space and time they need to heal and grow. Through empowerment and encouragement, I believe each of us has the ability to process our pain and learn to integrate our experiences, good and challenging, into our lives and live more congruently. I believe in meeting my clients where they are in life and supporting them in moving toward their goals in ways that fit them as unique individuals.AgesI love working with people of all ages.

A core desire in life is to be fully known and accepted. At the heart of being known is the need for full honesty with ourselves and others in the midst of growth in changing life experiences.Honesty with love and humility leads us into dynamic freedom.Many people hide their realities or internal struggles in shame, fear, and performance. I'm writing a book on sex and connection, answering how to help individuals and couples thrive in intimate, challenging relationships.I help clients unlock and practice this transformative mindset of honesty that then takes crucial steps further – embracing others on that same level of authenticity.I love to help clients of all genders and ages to become their true selves and to live in harmony with others.I involve Choice Therapy, Emotionally Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies to empower my clients to feel heard and seen. Then I equip them to flourish and work through their goals.Whatever the issue at hand you are dealing with, there is hope. It can be nerve-racking and scary to begin the journey of self-reflection, growth and development but I believe in the healing and restoration of individuals, couples, and families!I received my Masters of Education in School Counseling from Liberty University. Before this, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Music from the University of Virginia in 2009.I moved to Colorado Springs three years ago after lifelong roots in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have been married to his loving, beautiful, and amazing wife, Charity for 10 years.Charity is a chef, so I'm spoiled endlessly with amazing food!They both love to host friends for dinner, get outside, travel, and discover what lessons can be learned in each moment through the unexpected pieces of life.
