Hi, I'm Olivia! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, and I work with kids, teens, and adults who are carrying the weight of trauma, assault, or abuse. It's the work I feel most called to do. I earned my master's in Mental Health and Wellness from NYU Steinhardt, and I've spent the last four years in practice, much of it doing trauma work with children. I see clients in person in Loveland and online, so we can find what fits your life best.
I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not something clinical or rushed. EMDR and play therapy are where I do my best work, especially for people who feel like regular talk therapy has only skimmed the surface. EMDR helps loosen the grip of memories that keep coming back, and play therapy (including Synergetic Play Therapy) gives younger clients a way to heal without needing to find the "right" words. I also draw on person-centered, Gestalt, humanistic, and narrative approaches so our work fits you, not the other way around.
Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, what you'd like to feel different, and what's worked or not worked for you before. Together we'll start sketching a plan and a few goals that feel meaningful to you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, safe, and not rushed, because healing has its own timeline.
