Engage in PTSD and trauma counseling with a skilled therapist.
PTSD and Trauma Counseling

Are you experiencing difficulty mistrusting yourself and others, feeling on edge, or feeling stressed? Trauma can significantly impact daily life. As a therapist, I specialize in providing personalized support to help individuals navigate and overcome the complexities of trauma and resulting depression and anxiety. I foster healing and empowerment.

Engage in religious trauma therapy.
Religious Trauma

Were you raised in a high-control religion, a cult, or somewhere in between? Has purity culture impacted your relationships? You are accepted here. Religious trauma is a unique and challenging struggle, and you deserve help from someone who understands.

Engage in LGBTQ+ therapy with a queer therapist.
LGBTQIA+

Do you have a hard time determining how much of yourself to share with people? As a queer therapist, I understand the need for an affirming provider. Whether you want to work specifically on your identities, or simply be seen and accepted while addressing other concerns, I am happy to integrate all of who are in our work together.

Engage in clinical supervision and consultation with a clinical psychologist.
Clinical Supervision and consultation

 Are you an LPCC or LP candidate looking for supervision for licensure? Are you licensed but have clinical questions, and don’t know where to turn? I offer clinical supervision and consultation based on your unique needs. Whether you need a one time consultation on a specific issue or presentation or you want to work on strengthening your therapeutic skills and approach, I would love to help. I also offer ongoing consultation around burnout, building a private practice, transference, and developing boundaries and a clinical frame in your work.

Accessible Online Therapy

I’m a part of PSYPACT, which means I’ve gone through additional accreditation to offer online therapy services across 41 US states. Although based in Colorado, I offer my therapeutic services to individuals nationwide, catering to those who may travel frequently for work, school, or other commitments.

This flexibility is conducive to continuity of care if you land a job on the opposite coast or embark on weeks of travel.

In essence, I can deliver virtual therapy to you as long as you are physically present in any of the states highlighted in light brown on the map. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re uncertain whether I cover your location!
