I am a veteran with a tech background, and I have over 12 years of experience as a counselor. I went back to school in my 40's, so I bring a lifetime of practical experience to my work. I focus on getting to the heart of the matter with clients, while looking for perspective into what may have caused the problem, and tools for the future. We will meet in person most or all of the time - I find this to be more effective.
I began my professional life as an actress and gather learning from that career to use therapeutically. I am creative, playful and eclectic in my approach. I graduated Naropa University MA in Transpersonal Counseling with a focus on Art Therapy. Colorado Counseling for addictions training.
You are exhausted and overwhelmed. There’s too much to do and you never feel like its enough. Your brain never stops thinking. You always feels behind. Your body is aching. You can’t keep living this way.
If you are a parent, maybe you are yelling more at your kids than you’d like to admit, and the guilt you feel after losing your temper is real. You feel ashamed that everything sets you off. You really wanted to do this differently than how you were raised.
Maybe you feel like you’re failing at life or parenthood; you aren’t proud of how you are coping. And your relationships are struggling. You and your partner feel more like roommates. You feel like you’re drowning in parenthood. Life feels too heavy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Aurora
Finding ADHD therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, time management, organization, and emotional regulation. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers. Some people use therapy, medication management, or both. If you are searching for adult ADHD support, ADHD counseling for adults, or care for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose bio lists the age group, concerns, and approach that match your needs.
Aurora has a range of therapists across the city, and virtual appointments can also expand your options across Colorado. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and stress, so it helps to find a therapist with experience across those needs. As you compare Aurora therapists, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and how the therapist works with ADHD.
Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
