Grief counselors and therapists in Commerce City, CO

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of CO. I have received my Bachelor of Science in human services from Metropolitan State University, and my Master of Arts in school counseling and clinical counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. I have spent 16 years in the mental health field working with diverse populations.

I am a bilingual Health Psychologist. I examine how biological, social, and psychological issues that influence your well-being. In other words, I consider all of you. I am highly focused on how context and the larger systems impact your identity; choosing interventions that match your worldviews and lived experiences. I have a powerful ability to sit with your story and hold the space needed to heal. Working with me invites you to move beyond “good enough” and achieve deep lasting self-agency.

I am passionate about helping support my clients in their process of self-discovery and healing. I believe that therapy can help us evolve in our relationships with others and most importantly with ourselves, as we heal from shame and trauma that results in behaviors and mindsets that are limiting and unhelpful. I believe in our resilience, and that as we heal from emotional wounds, we allow our true, authentic selves to evolve and thrive.
