Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people begin therapy because they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Maybe you just need someone to talk to about what is going on in your life.
Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy offers a place to better understand yourself and move toward lasting change. -
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope will be different in your life, and any questions you have about the process. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of how we might work together.
-
Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. That's why I offer a free consultation. It's a chance for us to talk about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and help you decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
-
Not at all. While religious and spiritual trauma is one of my areas of specialization, I also work with adults and older teens experiencing trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and concerns related to identity, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing.
-
No. My practice is not faith-based, and I welcome clients of all religious backgrounds, spiritual beliefs, and those with no religious affiliation. While I specialize in religious and spiritual trauma, my role isn't to guide your beliefs or worldview. Instead, therapy is a space to explore your experiences, strengthen self-trust, and move toward the life you want to build—whatever your beliefs or background may be.
-
Many highly sensitive people experience the world deeply and often find themselves carrying a great deal emotionally. Whether or not you identify as an HSP, therapy can help you better understand your nervous system, establish healthy boundaries, manage overwhelm, and develop greater self-trust. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity rather than trying to "fix" your sensitivity.

I am a private-pay practice, which allows me to provide personalized care without many of the restrictions insurance companies place on treatment. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to use out-of-network benefits for reimbursement. I'm happy to provide a superbill.
-
Yes. I offer in-person therapy in Lafayette, Colorado, as well as secure telehealth sessions for clients located anywhere in Colorado.
-
Absolutely. Many people come to therapy knowing something isn't working but struggling to put it into words. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. We'll work together to understand what's happening and identify meaningful goals for therapy.
-
Yes. Many of the patterns that keep us feeling stuck once served an important purpose. They helped us adapt, cope, or survive. Therapy isn't about judging those patterns; it's about understanding them, appreciating why they developed, and creating new ways of responding that better fit the life you want today.
