As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, a Licensed Addictions Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor, my work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of the human experience. I prioritize understanding the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. I view many challenges as emerging from barriers to living an authentic and purposeful life. I consider the human experience to be an integration of physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects, and recognize that when any of these areas are neglected, individuals may develop patterns that no longer serve them. My therapeutic approach emphasizes cultivating self-awareness and fostering a deeper connection with one's authentic self, with the overarching aim of supporting personal growth and enhancing overall well-being.
As a therapist, I approach each individual with a holistic perspective, offering compassionate support within a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space. While I recognize that past experiences can shape our lives, I believe they do not have to determine our present or future. Through exploring the connection between thoughts and behaviors, clients can begin to shift patterns, gain insight, and re-author their personal narratives in a way that supports growth and healing.
At the heart of my counseling services is a deep commitment to empowering women as they heal from adverse life experiences and reclaim their sense of self. I specialize in working with women navigating the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and complex emotional wounds. With certifications in narcissistic abuse recovery and extensive experience in treating PTSD, addiction, bi-polar, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and dual diagnosis, I provide a safe, affirming space for clients to explore their pain, process their stories, and cultivate resilience. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and somatic techniques. Whether addressing challenges related to parenting, grief, racial identity, self-esteem, or relationship issues, I support women in rebuilding their inner strength, setting boundaries, and rediscovering purpose. Together, we work to transform survival into empowerment, creating lasting healing and a renewed connection to self and others.
