Each of us has experienced difficulties in our lives that have impacted how we see ourselves, others and God. These experiences can result in anxiety, depression, grief, sadness and pain. Exploring these events from a holistic perspective allows us to find healing and wholeness-body, mind and spirit. I especially enjoy working with young adults, believing that the sooner we can be free from our skewed perspectives, the more we can walk in wholeness and health. A healed perspective allows us to make healthy choices for our future. I believe clients who have a safe place to share their story can find lasting healing.

I offer individual counseling. I am trained in EMDR. I am a wife, mom of four including an adult child with special needs, and a grandmother. I have experienced healing in many areas of my life and believe that healing and wholeness is possible for my clients.

Hi, I’m Shannon. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, including more than a decade as a nurse practitioner. I’ve worked as a family nurse practitioner since 2013, and over time my passion led me to focus my practice on mental wellness and emotional health. My path through many roles in healthcare—from nurse’s aide to NP—shapes a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.

I specialize in perinatal mental health (pregnancy, postpartum, miscarriage, and loss) as well as anxiety that often shows up as overwhelm, overfunctioning, and constant pressure to hold everything together. Many of my clients are high-capacity women who are used to managing a lot, but feel mentally and emotionally overloaded. I offer a grounded, collaborative space where you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Hello! I'm Kayla, and I’m excited to be part of your journey. After spending over 13 years in education, I transitioned into the mental health field, earning my Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Services from UCCS here in Colorado Springs. I deeply believe that each person’s path to growth is unique, and I’m committed to supporting my clients with the therapeutic approach that best fits their needs. I’ve seen incredible healing unfold through the strong, authentic connections and relationships we build together. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

My journey began with a deep commitment to serving others, which led me to work within the Georgia state prison system. There, I honed my skills in providing support to those navigating difficult circumstances, gaining invaluable experience in crisis intervention and rehabilitation.

Following my time working in the prison system, I had the privilege of working with the U.S. Army, where I provided counseling services to military personnel and their families. As a military spouse myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by military families and am deeply committed to offering tailored support to help them thrive.

My career path then took me to Palmer Lake Recovery, where I worked with individuals struggling with addiction. This role allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the complexities of substance abuse and recovery, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve lasting sobriety.

Outside of my professional life, I find joy in spending time with my husband, sweet cocker spaniels, and my adult children. My family and pets bring me great happiness and balance, and I understand the importance of a strong support system in maintaining mental health.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey toward wellness. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face and uncover the strength within you to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood. As both a therapist and Air Force veteran, I value authenticity, resilience, and the importance of genuine human connection. Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and direct when needed. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported as you work toward your goals.

I work with adults and older teens navigating addiction, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, and life transitions. I am experienced in supporting veterans, first responders, and those impacted by a loved one's substance use. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you better understand your experiences and move forward with greater confidence.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience working in schools as a school psychologist. I have been married for 30 years and have three adult sons.

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor, I bring an integrative, creative and genuine approach to therapy. Through a relational perspective, I encourage you to explore, develop awareness and engage in self discovery. Together, I will walk along side you, supporting your trust in your inner healer and creating space for your healing journey to unfold.

I am passionate about mental health, wellness and quality of life. I have been a licensed therapist since 2001 and have 23 plus years of experience working in the mental health field. I am trained in and utilize EMDR. I currently work with individual adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and, in general, life's challenges. I believe each individual has within them exactly what they need to heal. It is always an honor and a privilege to partner with my clients.

Welcome! I want to hear your story! I can’t answer all life’s tough questions, but I can sit with you and guide you to find your own answers. I believe the emotional strains we've experienced are too heavy to carry alone. Everyone’s story is worthy to be told and heard. My ideal client knows there are some things holding them down and is ready to identify them and move forward in freedom. Whether you work with me or other providers, I’m excited for your journey ahead. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses holistic approaches, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, and Humanistic techniques.

Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong learner, a big sports fan, and someone who finds grounding in working out, good food, and live music, reminders that joy and connection can exist alongside life’s hardest moments.

I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.
