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

I am a licensed professional counselor specialized in treating couples and individuals with anxiety and OCD. I possess a master's degree in clinical mental health from Adams State University and have completed advanced certification in pediatric ERP from The International OCD Foundation. I consult weekly with other therapists specializing in OCD and other co-occurring disorders.

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages achieve emotional and psychological well-being. I work from a child-centered and person-centered approach and use techniques such as art, storytelling, sandtray, and imaginative play. These techniques help address issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, relationship issues and behavioral problems.

I want to help clients work through the issues that they are facing so that they can work towards their goals in their lives and relationships. Every person has innate strengths and I want to help clients to identify them and build on them so they can reach goals in treatment and in their lives. Ultimately, I want my clients to feel heard and supported in my practice and I hope to help them on their journey in finding positive change in their lives and relationships.

I'm so happy you're here! I'm passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming thoughts, emotional disconnect, or interpersonal conflict, my goal is to help you uncover the patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools to move forward.

I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like something in their life needs to change. Many of the people I work with are highly sensitive and introspective; they tend to feel things deeply, think deeply, and sometimes have a hard time knowing what to do with everything they’re carrying.

I also specialize in helping people navigate psychedelic experiences, spiritual emergence, and other non-ordinary experiences that may be meaningful, confusing, or difficult to integrate.

My background is in transpersonal and somatic psychology, with additional training in trauma-informed care, breathwork, psychedelic integration, and spiritual emergencies.
