Individual Counseling
We provide individual mental health counseling for your current and past struggles. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, recent or past trauma, relationship issues, communication problems, family concerns, work or career issues, are in transition, or are experiencing overwhelming stress or grief, we want to be there for you and walk this journey together. Maybe you have been to counseling in the past and felt you wasted your time, but want to try again. We are here to help.

Couples Counseling
Are you struggling in your relationship? Do you need someone with an objective view to help facilitate healthy communication and conflict? Are you going through a rough patch and need a tune up? Do you need to learn more effective skills to take your relationship to the next level? Your counselor is trained in couples therapy and is Gottman Level II qualified, which is a research-based approach to help relationships thrive, not just survive. No matter the issue in your relationship, we can provide you with the tools to help you reconnect with your partner.

Premarital Counseling
My hope is for you to have a successful relationship now and in the future. Our practice offers pre-marital counseling using the Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) assessment. Your counselor is a SYMBIS trained facilitator. The assessment and counseling sessions will help provide insight into your own personality as well as into your partners personality. You will learn how various traits and styles interact with each other. We will cover your current and future relationship dynamics. We will discuss many topics that tend to be a catalyst for conflict within a marriage and help you start your marriage off right.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a largely researched psychotherapy method that has been found to be very successful. It has been shown to help individuals recover from trauma and other negative life experiences. Research shows that EMDR has been effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. I love EMDR because it helps heal the brain and not just put a band-aid on the presenting problems. See the resources section for more information on EMDR.

Christian Counseling
If you want to explore your Christianity, have spiritual questions, or would like prayer and other spiritual discussions involved in the counseling process, then I am here to help. If you have experienced any type of spiritual oppression and/or abuse, we can explore this in a safe and supportive environment so you can find the healing you deserve.
-
Coaching
Life coaching is for individuals who are not struggling with a mental health issue but need support and direction, either in a current phase of life and/or transition. We help you set and accomplish present and future goals. We also offer couples coaching for those who want to improve their relationship. Coaching can help you gain the life you want. We provide essential tools and tailored plans of action to address your current roadblocks. We can help you with personal obstacles, work concerns, communication problems, relationship struggles, and spiritual challenges.

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)
The SSP is an evidence-based listening therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to re-tune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience. The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider remotely. The SSP works alongside other therapeutic modalities, and can help individuals with trauma, anxiety and depression, sensory processing and other neurodevelopmental differences.
We do not offer crisis services at this time. If you have an emergency please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are in crisis please contact Colorado Crisis Services number below or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline .
