The outer world is challenging to navigate, and your inner world feels chaotic and confusing. It can be difficult to find someone who understands your struggles. My passion is to hold space for the most beautiful people I know who are struggling because of the weight of labels, disability diagnoses, exceptionalities, and unhelpful solutions from well-meaning but misguided sources of help.
I created Inclusive Minds Counseling to be a sanctuary for people who have neurodivergent or differently-abled minds who need a place to become more fully themselves. You are the expert of your life but often hear messages that you are different, peculiar, deficient, disabled, or need a diagnosis. Therapy has become about behavior modification or teaching skills to become “normative” when you are NOT broken or abnormal. I work with you to reclaim your autonomy and become confident in making decisions for yourself. Here, you are understood. We will work together to find helpful solutions, based on your inner wisdom and the beauty of how your brain functions best.
Professionally, I am a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC) and a nationally certified counselor (NCC). I also am a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) who has worked with kids, teens, and adults for over 20 years. I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling (MA) and a masters degree special education (M.Ed), both of which I earned at the University of Northern Colorado. Additionally, I am also a canine-assisted intervention specialist (CAIS) which I earned from the University of Denver and have recently completed my certificate in Psychedelic Therapy and Integration (PTI). Incorporating my diverse and extensive training, therapy with me is experiential, fluid, creative, and individualized.
Personally, I am a Colorado native who enjoys fly fishing, riding horses, hiking, fostering shelter dogs, and spending time with my spouse, three children, three bearded dragons, one hedgehog and FIVE---yes FIVE--dogs.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidenced based. In my work, I am creative, experiential, and individualized, just like my clients.
I consider myself a person-centered, holistic clinician. I focus on my client's strengths as a whole person: mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, behaviorally, neurologically, cognitively, and socially. I factor in your unique characteristics, support systems, strengths, and preferences and utilize the therapeutic approach based on your personhood.
I am very collaborative in my approach and believe giving voice to my clients is of utmost importance for how they wish to engage in the therapeutic process.
