Anxiety, Trauma & Certified EMDR Therapist in Colorado Springs and across Colorado

You're used to holding it all together, for yourself and the people around you. But on the inside, things aren't feeling so put together anymore.

This is a place where you don't have to have it all together and you don't have to perform. Just bring yourself and we'll figure out how to put all the pieces in place so things can change.

If you’re stuck in worry and anxiety, overwhelmed by your emotions or circumstances, or struggling to overcome the past, you know something has to change to break the negative patterns leaving you feeling out of control and stuck on overload much of the time.

You're in the right place.

Even if you’ve been to therapy before, even if you feel like you’ve tried absolutely everything without the results you hope for, I can help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

You can get to the place where you’re not just managing symptoms, you’ve actually healed the root cause of them.

I take a practical, step by step, holistic approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit, all built on a positive and encouraging therapeutic relationship. Our work together starts with finding specific and simple ways to put you back in control of your anxiety and emotions so that you experience immediate relief, and then partnering together to create an individualized treatment plan that walks you step by step towards deeper resolution and healing.

I help you reach your goals so that you can get out of therapy and back to living your life.

I’ve dedicated my career to helping people overcome anxiety, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and trauma, and spent more than 20 years honing the skills to help you find the freedom you desire. I am passionate about this work because I know that people with anxiety and people who have experienced difficult life circumstances are uniquely positioned to heal and experience change! The very same things that can leave you feeling anxious or overwhelmed - your drive, your commitment, your intuition, your sensitivity, your active mind - are exactly what we can build on to help you heal.

My clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and encouraging, while also bringing unique insight and depth to our work that challenges them to see themselves and their circumstances from a different perspective. I am often told by clients that although they’ve been to therapy before, they did not experience the same level of progress they do in our work together, and that they appreciate my ability to see the big picture of their lives but break it down into simple steps for growth and change that feel manageable. I work from a strengths based and action oriented approach, customizing treatment plans to your individual personality, goals, and needs.

My guiding principles for therapy:

Every person has an innate ability to grow & heal
We focus on your strenghts and abilities vs illness or diagnosis
Anxiety & overwhelm are symptoms you can learn to manage, but you can go deeper to overcome the root cause
I have mental health expertise, but you're the expert on yourself and your own life... we get the best results when we partner together
Anxiety, imposter syndrome, overwhelm, & trauma are resolvable, you don't have to live like this
