About
My passion as a Christian Counselor is to help individuals affected by trauma. My desire is to come along side each person affected by life’s distressing events and daily challenges. If life feels unbalanced, I can also utilize EMDR therapy to help work through distressing life events, past or present traumas, grief, depression, and anxiety. I know firsthand heartbreak from emotional betrayal. From my own healing process, my therapeutic focus is to work with wounded partners who have experienced emotional or sexual betrayal. I also facilitate a Partners Group to validate and empower partners in their trauma from emotional or sexual betrayal with other women in an open, honest, and transparent environment.
My professional experience includes a Bachelor of Science degree at Colorado State University in Human Development and Family Studies where I worked with families and their children for over ten years. Then, I went back to school to earn a Master of Arts in Counseling at Colorado Christian University. I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC.0013799) with the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) in the state of Colorado. In addition to my credentials, I received training as an EMDR therapist with EMDRIA and the EMDR Institute. I have also completed training in the Multidimensional Trauma Model and Certified Clinical Partner Specialist through APSATS. I am also a trained Prepare and Enrich facilitator and Biblical Counselor through ACBC.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
I became a professional Christian therapist to combine both the spiritual and psychological benefits of counseling. Trauma affects our bodies both emotionally and physically on a daily basis. It is critical in the healing process to reach out to an experienced therapist who can help understand and process trauma to bring about the best healing method for each individual seeking help.
