Compassionate Growth for Every Stage of Life

LPC (WY & CO) | Trauma-Informed & Solution-Focused Care

Choosing a therapist is a significant step toward the life you want to lead. I believe that while life can present overwhelming challenges, you possess an innate resilience and the capacity for profound growth. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and collaborative space where we can transform those challenges into strengths.

Feeling burnt out, unfulfilled, uninspired, and/or just not good? Looking for a holistic approach to therapy that will allow you to get back on your feet again and live a life you can be fully present for? Are you struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, and depression? Are past traumas and unhelpful patterns showing up in your jobs, relationships and other areas of your life? Let's work together to create a plan for you to be able to navigate your unique circumstances. Now offering business coaching to navigate hurdles that show up as a business owner.

I provide trauma-informed person-centered therapy. Additionally the modalities I like to work with are EMDR, IFS, existential, the use of mindfulness & somatic therapy. Whatever your therapeutic goal is, let's work together to determine what will be most helpful to you.

I will listen to your story and provide a space for you to process heavy emotions, trauma, grief, and other challenges that may come up. I understand that traditional talk therapy can feel scary, intimidating, and/or unknown if you haven't experienced it which is why I offer other options. Reach out and let's discuss your goals and what works best for you!

I have over 30 years experience in the field and 25 years as a therapist. I received a Master of Arts in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2000. I work with adults and adolescents in addressing depression/bipolar, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief, anger, suicidal thoughts, life changes, illness/aging, relationships, sexuality and gender identity, spirituality, and existential issues.

With years of experience in trauma therapy, I specialize working with individuals of all ages process death and traumatic loss. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults to encourage resilience and growth. I support my clients through their journey by addressing past trauma, coping with death, and managing difficult life transitions. Together, we work through the complexities of grief and trauma, focusing on resilience and positive change for a hopeful future.

I am a bilingual Health Psychologist. I examine how biological, social, and psychological issues that influence your well-being. In other words, I consider all of you. I am highly focused on how context and the larger systems impact your identity; choosing interventions that match your worldviews and lived experiences. I have a powerful ability to sit with your story and hold the space needed to heal. Working with me invites you to move beyond “good enough” and achieve deep lasting self-agency.

I want to commend you on taking the first step towards better mental health! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am well positioned to help support and guide you towards meeting your therapy goals. While my practice focuses on conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression, my years of clinical work in community mental health has allowed me to gain an immense amount of general clinical experience as well.

Tired of living in survival mode? My ideal client is someone who feels tired of simply getting by. They may be self-aware and have done therapy before, but still feel overwhelmed by life, big emotions, racing thoughts, shame and guilt, self-criticism, or disconnection from themselves and others. They want to understand the deeper roots of their patterns, but they also want relief, regulation, and a felt sense of change. You are not broken. Your nervous system adapted and needs help letting go.

I am a lover of many things, but there is nothing dearer and nearer to my heart than the clients I help. I have been a nurse for 18 years now. Almost 100% of those years, I have spent working in or around mental health. Not to mention, I grew up in a family where mental illness directly impacted my family members. This is how and why I am passionate and dedicated to giving the utmost respect and care to any and all clients who choose me as their mental health provider. I want my clients to think of me as their teammate when it comes to battling mental health.
