Your Trusted Counseling Partner in Salida, Colorado
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in private practice, specializing in trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapies. My journey began in Denver, Colorado, where I worked with organizations like the National Institute for Change and Genesis Counseling, facilitating group and individual sessions for substance abuse and domestic violence. As a third-generation Coloradan, I bring deep local roots and a trauma-informed lens to my work, offering both in-person sessions in Salida and telehealth services statewide.My practice integrates Narrative, Psychodynamic, and REBT frameworks to address relationship issues, life transitions, and deeper trauma. Certified in EMDR and Brain Spotting, I prioritize creating a safe space for clients to reclaim their narratives and rediscover the value of being alive. My approach is grounded in 10 years of mentoring through Young Life and wilderness guiding experience, fostering resilience and connection.

Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps reprocess traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional distress. Ideal for clients overcoming PTSD, abuse, or chronic trauma. Our certified therapist guides clients through structured protocols to restore emotional balance and self-worth.
Domestic Violence Counseling
Specialized counseling for domestic violence survivors combines safety planning with trauma recovery techniques. We address emotional, physical, and psychological impacts while building resilience. DVOMB-certified services available for both individual and group sessions.
Brain Spotting
Brain Spotting identifies and processes trauma stored in the brain through eye position techniques. Effective for anxiety, grief, and performance issues, this method accesses deep neural pathways to facilitate healing and emotional regulation.
Life Transition Support
Navigating career shifts, relocation, or identity changes requires tailored support. We employ narrative therapy to reframe transitions as growth opportunities, helping clients build practical coping strategies and rediscover purpose during uncertain times.
Relationship Counseling
Couples and individuals explore communication patterns and emotional dynamics using psychodynamic frameworks. Focus areas include conflict resolution, boundary setting, and rebuilding trust to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships through structured therapeutic interventions.
