Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Aurora, CO covered by United Healthcare

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Colorado (LPC License # LPC. 0012882). I have been practicing psychotherapy since beginning my Master of Clinical Counseling program in 2010, at the University of Northern Colorado. Since graduating in 2012 with my Master in clinical counseling and school counseling, I have worked with individuals suffering from a wide range of psychological diagnoses, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, anxiety, as well as issues related to domestic violence, substance abuse, separation from loved ones and dislocation. My work experience includes working for several years as an outpatient psychotherapist in a well-known and established community mental health organization. In addition, I am trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which has been extensively researched and proven to effectively help clients with PTSD, anxiety, depression and other distressing life experiences. Specializing in the assessment of trauma-related symptoms and the impact on client’s day-to-day psychological, occupational & interpersonal functioning.

I started my career working with adolescents that were pregnant and parenting in high school. This opened the door to my various experiences working with young, growing adults and families. In the heart of St. Louis, MO, as a school-based therapist, I gained further knowledge of the racial and poverty challenges taking place in our communities. Fast forward three years and becoming a social worker in Colorado, I managed a variety of cases involving children and adolescents experiencing trauma, parental abuse and neglect, couples counseling and mediation, and managing chaotic situations. In this time, not only did it allow me to gain experience in the child welfare and court systems, it reminded me of my true passion and brought me back to my primary focus. I am happy to be back on track with my passion in therapy and helping adolescents, families, and couples in their time of crisis or distress.

If you've ever felt like you lose yourself in relationships, or find yourself overthinking your way out of trusting your own voice, you're not alone. I specialize in supporting women who are spiritually curious and ready to untangle patterns of codependency, anxious attachment, and self-doubt.

My approach combines over 20 years of experience working in healthcare with multiple degrees in nursing and psychology/psychiatry. I have a strong background in addiction medicine, as well as general mental health care.

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

Welcome to the start of your therapeutic journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) living in Denver, Colorado! I grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved to CO when I fell in love with all it has to offer! I am a Certified ADHD-Clinical Services Provider. As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how it can impact one's life. I have much experience working with clients to cope with how ADHD impacts anxiety & depression.
