I highly value authenticity not only in my personal life and also in my therapeutic work.

I'm not afraid to have hard conversations so that we can dig down into the challenges so that you can rise up in your own.

I believe that therapy is a partnership, a collaboration between counselor and client to reach your goals. Those goals may be concrete, like learning coping skills to treat depression symptoms, or abstract, like figuring out who you are and who you want to be. Therapy is not one-size-fits all, therefore I’m committed to tailoring my therapy to my clients’ needs using solution-focused, trauma-informed, and multiculturally competent approaches. If you've had therapy in the past and left thinking "but all I did was talk, what should I actually do about any of this?" I might be the right therapist for you. I offer individual therapy to clients aged 13-65, with a focus on adolescents and young adults, as well as couples counseling. I have a background in both private practice and community mental health, so I am familiar with supporting clients with a variety of needs and experiences. I know how much our identity and cultural upbringing can affect our mental health and our understanding of social roles- I strive to make space for all identities and backgrounds in my therapy room in order to create a safe, welcoming space where we can have difficult conversations about how who we are affects what we do, and vice versa.

First understanding why you behave the way you do and then learning how to show up in your life authentically and genuinely are fundamental to any sustained, meaningful change. Using an eclectic trauma-informed approach, I feel that my role as a therapist is to treat the foundational issues causing you pain in the present whether that be from substance abuse, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Modalities I incorporate to help us explore and address patterns of behavior are attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, EMDR, parts work, and CBT all within a client-centered approach. When working together, you as the client are the driver of your own therapy and I am merely a passenger coming alongside you to provide direction, psychoeducation, and a safe, affirming, reliable space in which to do the work of healing.

I’m Christina (she/her) and I partner with clients in a collaborative, comfortable, evidenced-based approach to navigate life stressors, trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns.

I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT and DBT. If it is your first time in therapy or you have been doing therapy for years, let's open this chapter together.

I believe that all persons choose and walk their own unique path to wellness and a meaningful, fulfilling life. I listen carefully and collaborate with my clients in helping them explore their personal values and goals for optimal mental health. Psychiatric medications may be a part of a comprehensive and effective mental health plan of care. I have 24 years of experience treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD. I consider myself an ally and have experience working with and treating members of the LGBTQ+ community.

“I feel a loss of control in my life.” “I can’t seem to prioritize my self-worth and care in relationships with others.” “I feel like I don’t have a sense of purpose or meaning in life.” “I don’t want to burden others with my problems.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I hear you. You are not alone. Seeking help is not an act of giving up; it is an act of refusing to give up. Together, we can recognize the importance of choice, accountability, and self-worth, empowering you to have more genuine experiences. If you think I would be a good fit for your therapeutic goals, please give me a call or send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, or uncertain about your next steps, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, healing, and meaningful change. My experience spans group practice settings, inpatient psychiatric and eating disorder treatment, and middle schools, giving me insight into a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. At the heart of my work is the belief that human struggles are rooted deeply in our relationships, both with others and with ourselves. That’s why I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for adults and couples where you can bring your whole self to therapy. Areas of expertise include relationships, divorce, professional development and support, health-related concerns, women's health including perimenopause and menopause, and major life transitions. Whether you’re navigating a significant life change, struggling with difficult emotions, or seeking support through a health or career transition, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I aim to foster a sense of clarity and empowerment, helping you move forward in your life with greater confidence and connection. My approach blends attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, family systems, and solution-focused techniques to help you process uncomfortable emotions, shift perspectives, and break free from old patterns. I was inspired to become a therapist through my own journey in the therapeutic space, and my educational background reflects that same passion for growth and understanding. That path includes a Master's in Counseling from Adams State University (2024), a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Denver College of Nursing (2019), and a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Colorado at Denver (1995). Additionally, I hold a Parent Coaching Certification from the Jai Institute for Parenting (2021), which strengthens my ability to support patients in fostering healthy relationships with the people in their lives. Personally, I understand the complexities of relationships and family life. I have experienced divorce both as a child and as an adult and know firsthand the joys and challenges of belonging in a family. Parenting is my greatest accomplishment, and I continue to strive for growth in that role. My professional journey has taken me through diverse fields, including real estate, oil and gas, entrepreneurship, adult education, nursing, and counseling, all of which inform my perspective and ability to connect with a wide range of patients.
