Bi-Lingual Child and Family Art Therapist in Longmont, CO

I have a deeply held passion for helping people transform their lives. My expertise is in the areas of sexual trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and marriage and family counseling. My preparation and education includes advanced training in sexual trauma, complex trauma, and sexual addiction through Masters and Johnson. As an affiliate faculty member at Regis University and former Assistant Professor at Colorado Christian University, I have also taught graduate courses in each of these fields. It may be important to you to include your faith or spiritual walk into the counseling process. This integration is something I enjoy as well. I see counseling as a journey of soul-tending. I'll work compassionately and respectfully to find your best paths to well-being.

I specialize in CBT, ACT and DBT). Using these treatment approaches, I am committed to helping individuals solve numerous problems, promote personal growth and make desired changes to enhance life experiences. I provide these contemporary psychotherapy services in a private, tranquil, peaceful environment, where I collaborate with my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs. I am here to help you, and your loved ones, enhance daily living through cognitive behavior therapy that is grounded in compassion, understanding and empathy. My clinical expertise focuses on a wide range of problems, including anxiety, panic, worry, depression, test anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and and relationship problems. I also help individuals navigating daily stressors or life transistions.

I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology and am a certified Gestalt Equine Assisted Psychotherapist. During the therapy session you partner with horses to have an experience in the present moment. It is my belief that building a relationship with a horse will deepen your relationship with your self, others and with nature. Horses are sensitive, intuitive, social beings, who help to illuminate our patterns of relationship and behaviors by giving us immediate feedback. Through relationship, they offer the opportunity to learn, grow and heal.

I support individuals, couples, families and groups who struggle with grief, trauma, relationship challenges, personal growth, life transitions, communication, addiction and/or attachment.
