I’m passionate about helping people build meaningful connections and find balance in their lives. At times, we all experience feelings of loneliness, insecurity, or being misunderstood, which can prevent us from enjoying peace of mind. If you're seeking more balance, struggling to express your needs, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or insecurity, therapy can be a powerful step towards a more fulfilling life.

​

Therapy is a personal journey that requires both courage and openness, and reaching out for support is the first important step. My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that everyone has the innate capacity to grow, heal, and develop greater self-awareness. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. Together, we’ll work toward healing, resilience, and reconnecting with the life you want to lead.

​

I specialize in supporting individuals, families, and couples with issues such as relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, body image, and fertility concerns. I also assist with navigating educational challenges. I use evidence-based practices tailored to meet your unique needs, while incorporating experiential techniques to help foster growth.

​

As a therapist, I am down-to-earth, compassionate, and open-minded. I believe that some aspects of life require collaboration, and we all benefit from having a supportive, caring presence to help guide us through difficult times. In my sessions, I use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also incorporate experiential techniques like art, music, clay, mindfulness and somatic body work activities, and I am Gottman Level I trained, bringing a holistic approach to support you.

​

If you’re ready to start the journey toward greater peace and connection, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Do you ever desire to speak your reality out loud, but feel resistant to do so because it may hurt those closest to you, cause retaliation from others, or subject you to guilt or shame? That is where a counselor comes in. It is my privilege to give people a safe place to speak their reality, and be a witness to the pain, frustration, bitterness, shame and so many other emotions we as humans experience and struggle to work through. If you are in need of a witness to your reality, need to work through past hurt, struggle to regulate your emotions, feel stuck, or need someone to walk along side you through a troubling time, I am pleased to be your helper.

 

I am a licensed professional counselor and am nationally certified. I am also a licensed addictions counselor. I have experience working with those on probation and parole, those in or connected to the armed forces, those who find themselves in need of in-patient services, and those seeking help through community based programs. I am trained in EMDR, and use other evidenced-based practices to meet my clients’ needs. I desire to tailor treatment to fit your needs, desires, and comfort level. This journey of counseling is for you, and meant to move you toward a better version of you. If you desire this end, I would be honored to join you on the journey.

Life can be hard under the best of circumstances, but it’s even harder when you feel as though you’re drowning in pain, anxiety, depression, loneliness or confusion. Carrying those burdens by yourself can be extremely isolating and can make you feel as though you’re losing your mind. I understand how hard it can be to just get through the day when you feel like you’re falling apart, but you aren’t alone in this struggle. 

I am passionate about helping you feel safe and calm, so you can start to discover a sense of hope and joy for the future. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy, with techniques from motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and neuroscience to create a unique therapeutic experience to fit your specific needs. 

​

 I understand how scary it can be to begin counseling and to trust a stranger with your pain. I strive to make your therapeutic experience as compassionate, collaborative, and strength-based as possible. I want all of my clients to know that healing can be hard and exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be something that you do alone. It would be my honor and my pleasure to be allowed to walk with you while you navigate your healing journey.

​

 I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with training in brainspotting and trauma-informed care.

 

When I am not in the therapy room, I am usually reading or spending time with my family and my dog. I believe that there’s no such thing as too much learning or too much coffee. I am a Christian and love to integrate faith-based practices into my counseling. 

​

If it sounds like I may be a good fit for your counseling needs, I would be honored to connect with you.

Healing begins in safe, honest spaces—and my goal is to create one for every client I work with.

I support individuals (16+) and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—helping them find clarity, connection, and new ways forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and experiential. I use EMDR, CBT, and solution-focused methods to help clients process difficult experiences and move toward meaningful change.

For those who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling, weaving in Scripture, prayer, and a Christian worldview to support healing on a spiritual level. Whether we are sitting in an office or working together outdoors with horses, I meet clients where they are—offering both grace and grounded guidance.

With 12 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking with clients through trauma, grief, addiction, PTSD, and relational distress. My work has included sessions on horse ranches, partnerships with non-profits, and creative modalities like equine-assisted therapy and couples’ social dance to build trust, communication, and connection.

 

Whatever season you’re in—you don’t have to walk it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

As a therapist with Colorado Experiential Counseling, it is with complete warmth I say hello and welcome the opportunity to aid, support and assist in your healing journey. As a bilingual mental health therapist in spoken Spanish and English, with close to 2 decades of mental health experience, I have learned and fully embrace the concept of safety so that we can explore the areas of life that can be puzzling, painful, and tender. I believe that we are equipped to connect with one another in a deep and meaningful way throughout our lives. While preferably this would happen free of discomfort and sadness, most of us aren’t that fortunate. From one single event to a lifetime of pain and suffering, I work with people to help them shed the scars of their pain and embrace the warmth of their core self and the beautiful potential for healing. 

 

I am a Somatic Integration Processing (SIP) therapist. I’ve had the unique, distinct, pleasure of being trained in SIP I, and SIP II. I thoroughly enjoy the guidance it has allowed me to support my clients. In incorporating the wisdom found within SIP, I am able to assist in picking the healthiest of therapeutic modalities in your journey of healing, and hopefully, with time, wholeness. 

 

I graduated ‘with distinction’ in a scholastically accredited Master’s of Social Work program through Azusa Pacific University. I also graduated with Phi Alpha Honor Society. Phi Alpha fosters high standards of education for social workers and invites into membership those who have attained excellence in scholarship and achievement in social work. In addition, I graduated from an accredited Christian University, where I learned how to integrate my Christian faith with evidence-based counseling approaches in an ethical manner. I work with people from all backgrounds, including religious and non-religious belief systems. I also successfully passed the clinical Association of Social Work Boards (LCSW). The ASWB develops and maintains the national social work licensing examinations that are used to test a social worker’s competence to practice ethically and safely. I am an EMDR Certified therapist and consultant, who is trauma-informed and also is registered through EMDRIA. EMDR is a leading and highly accepted evidence-based therapy approach for assisting in all trauma and other related concerns. I have also trained in other trauma-focused, evidence-based therapy approaches.

 

I would be honored to join you on your healing journey!

I specialize in working with individuals   (18 years and up) and couples. I work with people who have been through trauma(s) and abuse, grief and loss, difficult or disturbing life circumstances, self-esteem, and anxiety disorders. Elizabeth uses evidence-based approaches incorporating clay art therapy, equine (horse)--assisted, and traditional office therapies. 

 

Elizabeth enjoys working with clients of diverse backgrounds, identities, and varied life experiences to overcome life challenges and strengthen their relationships. After all, life is less scary and most meaningful when we have close others to share it with.

​

"Have you come to an understanding that something in your life just isn’t working and you can’t fix it on your own? I get it. Maybe you’ve had a negative experience in counseling and it’s hard to share thoughts and emotions. Sometimes people feel ashamed or worried about being vulnerable with strangers. I understand. I know it takes a lot of courage to take the first step to begin counseling. At the same time, I can also guess that if you are researching counselors, that part of you knows you can’t keep going down the same road and that something has to change. It is an honor for me to walk beside clients as they rediscover wholeness and their true identity. I greatly value every unique relationship, collaborating with my clients as I listen to their concerns and help them in achieving their goals".
