As a counselor, I have observed that clients are caught in a cycle of overwhelm and uncertainty when they contemplate the idea of starting therapy. Doubts about its effectiveness, coupled with misconceptions that counseling solely involves talk therapy, create a substantial obstacle to clients taking the crucial step toward seeking the assistance they truly deserve.

To address these challenges, I adopted a multifaceted approach to encourage individuals to overcome their initial hesitations. I offer educational resources and transparently explain the different therapeutic modalities available beyond talk therapy, showcasing the breadth of options that might align with individual preferences and needs. 

I notice that many individuals begin to experience a reduction in their feelings of overwhelm and uncertainty as they gain a clearer understanding of the various therapeutic approaches available. This, in turn, leads to an increased willingness to engage in therapy and a greater likelihood of experiencing positive outcomes. By addressing the initial barriers, I empower clients to approach therapy with an open mind, fostering a smoother and more productive therapeutic journey.

Experience - Prior to earning my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University, I pursued holistic healing and tailored services to the needs of my clients from all different backgrounds with the use of yoga, mindfulness and self-care. I have a deep passion for the connection between the mind, body, and spirit and weave this passion into my counseling services.

A bit about me. I find that there's something incredibly liberating about hitting the road with everything I need packed into a cozy, mobile home. The simplicity of having van, surrounded by nature and changing scenery, allows me to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I find peace in waking up to breathtaking views, the sound of birdsong, and the fresh air that comes with each new destination. Whether it's watching sunsets from the comfort of my van or sharing stories with fellow travelers around a campfire, van life encapsulates a unique blend of adventure and tranquility that truly puts my mind at ease. While exploring the mountains, I like to engage in dirt biking, mountain biking, hiking, running, climbing, one wheeling, and slack-lining.
