I am a Licensed Psychologist, EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and Trainer, and Certified EMDR Therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, as a Professional Counselor since 2003 and as a Psychologist since 2013. I work full-time in private practice, The Road Less Traveled Counseling Center, in Denver, Colorado. The focus of my practice includes trauma treatment from an EMDR and AEDP therapeutic orientation, couples therapy from an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy approach, as well as supervision, consultation, and training. I completed my PhD in Counseling Psychology at the University of Northern Colorado, where my dissertation focused on EMDR within couples therapy. I also developed the Denver Collaborative Health Center, a network of skilled independent professionals dedicated to providing quality health care services to treat the whole person, including a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychologist, Rolfer, Yoga Therapist, Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Practitioner, Integrative Healer /Curandera, and a Full Spectrum Doula/Herbalist/Ancestral Medicine Practitioner.

I am a EMDR Certified Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Approved Clinical Supervisor, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training and owner of Aerie Counseling, a private practice based in Denver, Colorado. Through my practice, I care for clients and clinicians with warm and compassion in the journey toward healing and wholeness. My specialties include trauma recovery, faith integration, and disordered eating. I also have advanced training incorporating parts work and IFS informed techniques into EMDR and often utilize that lens in my practice and consultation. I hold space for shame-free, authentic learning and processing. I value the experience of connecting as fellow human beings and collaborators in the field of mental health and supporting the advancement of EMDR through increased accessibility of care.

I specialize in working with individuals (children, teenagers, young adults and adults) struggling with symptoms related to trauma, anxiety disorders and depression. I take a strengths based approach with both clients and other helping professionals. In addition to being EMDR Trained and Certified, I have additionally been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma (Level 1 Certificate from the Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy Training and Education and Trauma Focused-CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills training.

I'm a Bicultural, Bilingual (Spanish-English), trauma recovery specialist, with over 20 years of post-graduate training and experience. I've been practicing EMDR for 14 years and I specialize in Complex PTSD and Attachment Trauma. My work is embedded in transformational anti-oppression, anti-racism, and de-colonizing work, and I integrate Western psychology with ancestral and earth-centered medicine.

I provide outpatient therapy to adults, both, in a community mental health setting and as part of a private group practice. I’m a bilingual-bicultural clinician, conduct EMDR sessions in English and Spanish, and have an interest in incorporating attachment-focused therapy, ego state & parts work, and somatic interventions in my EMDR work.

I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Certified EMDR Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). My joy comes from the work I do as the owner and primary therapist of New Directions Colorado, a private practice based in Erie, Colorado. When working with clients and clinicians, I work from a holistic framework seeing individuals as uniquely wonderful complex beings. My niche areas of practice include eating disorders, disordered eating, body image struggles and trauma recovery (particularly sexual abuse and sexual assault). I welcome faith integration into my practice with clients and consultees alike. I greatly value the process of learning and discovery through authentic relational connections.

I love supporting EMDR clinicians to hold a healthy respect for the standard protocol while helping them deeply attune to their clients’ individual readiness and unique needs. This way, incorporating other EMDR protocols and treatment interventions can happen more seamlessly throughout the 8 phases. Areas of experience: I've conducted EMDR (in both Spanish and English) with complex trauma cases in a community mental health setting with children and teens ages 6+, as well as with teens and adults with complex trauma in private practice. I have additional training in AEDP, EFT, Somatic Psychology, and Psychedelic/MDMA-Assisted therapy and integration. So, I work to help Consultees better “embed” EMDR within other crucial modalities like parts work, somatic therapy, and attachment injury work, within a relational framework.

I can provide consultation for children (age 6+), teens, and adults.

I am certified in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I work with adults and couples and also offer intensives. My specialities include trauma recovery, attachment wounds, relational distress, anxiety, acculturation stress, and mind/body connection. I support EMDR therapists in establishing a solid foundation in the standard protocol, so that they can feel confident in their knowledge and be guided by their intuition. My approach is centered on listening first, encouraging self-reflection, and guiding therapists to find clarity and confidence from within. I strive to empower therapists to make informed, confident, and adaptive decisions throughout the 8 phases, allowing them to meet their clients where they are in a way that feels authentic to their unique therapeutic style.

As EMDRIA approved Consultant-in-Training I offer consultation that can be used towards EMDR certification. My specialty areas include using EMDR with people who are Neuro-Diverse, Children and Adolescents, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of Mass Event Traumas, survivors of abuse, and Attachment Trauma.

I meet with children, adolescents, and adults who has experienced attachment trauma, complex posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and health-related anxiety/trauma. I am Certified in Sand Tray Therapy by Ana Gomez. I have been trained in Easy State Ego Interventions, EMDR Integrative Attachment Protocol for Children, and Ana Gomez Master Classes.
