Counseling Services & Specialties

Real support for when life feels heavier than you expected.

Counseling should feel warm, respectful, and focused on what matters most to you. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can help you better understand yourself, reduce suffering, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with what matters most to you.

I work with adults and older teens throughout Colorado, offering both in-person therapy in Lafayette and secure telehealth throughout Colorado.

Anxiety, Stress & Burnout

Are you living in a constant state of stress can leave you exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself and others? Or maybe you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP) living in a world that feels overstimulating.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the emotional exhaustion that comes from caring for everyone else, therapy can help you better understand what's keeping those patterns in place while developing healthier, more sustainable ways of responding.

Trauma can affect far more than memories. It influences the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Have you noticed anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or feeling constantly on edge affecting your daily life? Are you noticing patterns and habits that are no longer serving you?

Together, we'll work to process difficult experiences, understand how trauma has shaped your nervous system, and develop new ways of responding that foster healing, resilience, and greater freedom.

Trauma & PTSD

Religious & Spiritual Trauma and Cult Recovery

If you've experienced spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or involvement in a high-control religion or cult, you may be navigating grief, confusion, shame, fear, or uncertainty about your identity and beliefs.

Therapy provides a space to process those experiences without pressure to return to, or leave, any particular faith tradition. My role is to help you reconnect with your own voice, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward in a way that aligns with your values and lived experience.

Life Transitions & Identity

Some of life's most significant challenges come during periods of change.

Are you moving through career changes, parenting challenges, or experiencing grief or loss? Perhaps you are experiencing relationship transitions, leaving a community, an empty nest, or have questions about identity or purpose.

These moments often invite us to reexamine who we are and how we want to move forward. Therapy can provide support as you navigate uncertainty and build a future that reflects the life you want to create.

Are you feeling disconnected from your friends or family?
Healthy relationships begin with understanding ourselves.

Whether you're navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, family relationships, dating, or setting healthier boundaries, therapy can help you identify patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop more authentic ways of connecting with others.

Relationships

Therapy for LGBTQ+ Adults and Older Teens

I welcome LGBTQ+ clients navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. Therapy offers a space to explore your experiences, questions, and goals with curiosity and without judgment. Together, we can make sense of what you've been through, examine beliefs and expectations that may no longer serve you, and identify a path forward that reflects your values and priorities.

What Therapy May Help You Develop

Instead of only focusing on symptoms, many clients also notice growth in areas such as:

  • Greater self-trust

  • Healthier relationships

  • Emotional resilience

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Self-compassion

  • Confidence in making decisions

  • Living according to personal values

  • A stronger sense of purpose and meaning

  • Hope during difficult seasons of life

My Approach

Every person brings a unique story into therapy, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

Rather than relying on a single therapy model, I integrate evidence-based approaches based on your goals, personality, and experiences.

My work is informed by:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Trauma-informed therapy

  • Somatic therapy (body based)

  • EMDR-informed trauma treatment

  • Polyvagal-informed nervous system regulation

  • Mindfulness

  • Expressive Arts Therapy

  • Person-centered therapy

These approaches aren't ends in themselves, they're tools. Our work together will always be centered on helping you better understand yourself, reduce suffering, and create meaningful, lasting change.
