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. My therapeutic style includes a safe space for all to explore their understanding of themselves and the world without judgment. My goal is to welcome all, to feel safe and heard. 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.

My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through these approaches, I help you better manage symptoms, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve your day-to-day functioning. Equally important to me is helping you reconnect with your own strengths and values through a strong emphasis on self-compassion. Together, we work within a patient-centered, trauma-informed framework that helps you better understand your thoughts, process difficult experiences, and develop effective coping strategies that work for your life. Because no two people are the same, I continuously adapt my style to best serve you, ensuring that every session feels purposeful, supportive, and genuinely yours. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by someone who knew the work well: my mom, who is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Through her guidance and mentorship, I developed a strong foundation in compassionate, patient-centered care early on. This experience shaped not only my career path but also my dedication to showing up fully for the people I work with, reinforcing my belief in the importance of empathy, connection, and creating a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely supported. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time in nature, whether that’s hiking, skiing, or camping. Being outdoors is one of the ways I recharge and stay grounded. I also have a lifelong passion for dance. I grew up as a competitive dancer and continued as a student athlete on my college dance team. Today, dance remains one of my favorite forms of self-care and self-expression, reminding me of the importance of movement, creativity, and balance in everyday life.

I have been working in mental health for over five years in a variety of settings and completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver in 2021. I work with adults to treat a variety of concerns including depression and anxiety, individuals navigating life transitions, identity development, stress, grief and loss, and relationship conflict. I love working with adults who seek to build trust and compassion for themselves and utilize DBT, CBT, IFS and SFBT along with a collaborative and strengths-based approach.

“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.

Every day, I strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel safe to laugh, cry, share your experiences, and move toward healing. I will tailor your treatment using evidence-based practices to ensure you have everything you need to reach your full potential and become your most authentic self. While in session with clients, I often use a combination of EMDR, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT techniques to teach new skills, process trauma, and elicit positive change talk. When I'm not in session, I love to spend time with my loved ones, my animals, or with a really good book.

Each of us comes into therapy with diverse backgrounds and unique experiences that shape our current ways of thinking and how we interact with the world around us. My job as a therapist is to create an environment where you feel safe, empowered, validated, and can trust that there is someone who genuinely wants to help you navigate through some of life’s most difficult and challenging moments. I approach the therapeutic process with empathy, acceptance, humor, and curiosity about your goals, values, and passions.  I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). I'm an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist with 10 years of experience working in the social work field. I view therapy as a partnership and believe that you are the expert in your life. Together, we will develop a plan to achieve your goals, gain the tools to promote healing, improve your well-being, and help you become the most authentic version of yourself.

"My partner and I can’t seem to get on the same page about how to respond to our child’s behaviors"..."My fears are keeping me from doing what I enjoy and seeing people I love"..."My family feels disconnected"..."I am always focused on others. There’s no space for me"..."I seek out distractions to numb my feelings and quiet my thoughts"...I hear you, and you are not alone. Let’s explore your story together to find the places where taking small steps can lead to greater connection with yourself and others. I enjoy working with those who struggle with relational issues, parenting, and anxiety as well as ADHD, depression, and trauma. These issues can feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to start when seeking support. In a non-judgmental space, we can explore these issues together and find ways to engage in small changes to make a big impact. I believe every person has the ability to grow, and I want to partner with you to foster the growth that will help you reach your goals. If what you see here speaks to you, reach out so we can talk about how I can help. I look forward to meeting you.
