My Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Training & Somatic Processing

Supporting Colorado adults in improving their relationships, healing from anxiety, depression or trauma, and deepening their connection with themselves

You know that something needs to change.

Old patterns keep repeating themselves in your relationships and the feeling of stuck-ness is overwhelming.

Unprocessed experiences have left you feeling lost, lonely, and disconnected from your life’s greater purpose. The recent changes in your life have uncovered some difficult emotions and unresolved issues from the past that are holding you back from moving forward.

Your lack of confidence is getting in the way of reaching for the things you truly want.

Feeling run down or anxious due to sucky relationships, traumatic experiences, or grief may be holding you back from feeling authentically engaged in life. Your free spirited nature you once connected with is feeling buried underneath disappointments and the world is weighing heavier than normal.

Are you thinking, how did I get here? It’s normal to downplay your feelings and try to tough it out. However, this isn’t the path forward. You ARE worthy of love and attention, and you don’t need to be afraid to be seen by others when you’re not at your best.

I’m here to help you cultivate the confidence you need to take the leap in claiming the life you want (and deserve!).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy. It can help manage mental health conditions and emotional concerns.

CBT has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

Studies show that CBT outperforms antidepressant medication for the treatment of depression.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment.

ACT is a psychotherapy approach to improve your relationship with your thoughts and emotions.

ACT provides support for individuals by promoting psychological flexibility, helping them accept themselves and their experiences, and encouraging a lifestyle aligned with their core values.

75% of people who tried ACT reported remission of their symptoms and improvement in their quality of life.

Somatic Processing & Mindfulness Training

Somatic processing is a therapeutic approach that tackles both the psychological and physical symptoms of trauma.

Somatic therapy engages the mind-body connection to express deeply painful or traumatic experiences, applying healing to aid with trauma recovery.

Therapists use somatic interventions to help calm their clients' nervous system, and create more ease in the healing process.

Mindfulness, or increasing one’s awareness and connection with self through active reflection, has been shown to improve self-control, objectivity, affect tolerance, enhanced flexibility, equanimity, improved concentration and mental clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rivercrest Wellness

  • I do not directly bill insurance companies for my services at this time. I can provide “superbills” or detailed receipts to clients. If a client’s insurer provides “out of network benefits,” (some insurance companies offer this and others do not) clients can submit a superbill to their insurer and get reimbursed for a large portion of their therapy costs. This reimbursement process is between the client and their insurance company, but I am happy to discuss what I know about this process with clients.

  • I accept all major credit cards as well as FHA and HSA cards. I process payment electronically after each session through my client portal.

  • This varies greatly from client to client. I believe establishing a therapeutic relationship takes time and that slowing down is an important aspect of making space for new perspectives and change. I also believe clients should only attend therapy for as long as they find it helpful. You attend as many sessions as you like without any obligation to continue.

  • I only provide services to residents of Colorado in compliance with my professional license.
