Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Salida, CO

Hi, my name is Zach, and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary’s CACREP accredited program. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, and I work largely with LGBTQ+ individuals, specializing in religious trauma and spirituality, existential distress, eating disorders and body image, relationship issues, and grief and loss.

I specialize in helping clients reconnect with the power that’s already within them. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m the passenger here to support, guide, and travel alongside you. With a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, I work with adults of all ages on challenges like anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. As a clinician who identifies as LGBTQIA+, I also aim to be a supportive and empowering presence for those navigating identity, belonging, and self-trust.

One thing I want my clients to know is that I have a deep passion for helping individuals who feel like they’ve run out of options with psychiatric medications. If you’ve experienced past medication failures, please know you aren’t a lost cause. Together, we will partner to find a personalized, thoughtful combination of treatments that genuinely works for your unique life

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.
