Hi, I am Jennifer. I work with individuals that want to live life loved and discover themselves along the way! My work with clients is transparent and holistic. I support and empower clients struggling with a history of trauma; grief/loss; perinatal mental health; chronic illness/pain; those experiencing high anxiety; clients that are highly sensitive and empathic; or those who are simply feeling the weight of life stressors and transitions.

I have a deep understanding of the nuanced issues for clients who are experiencing adverse long-term effects from time in fundamentalist religious backgrounds. I offer space for clients wanting to explore and/or deconstruct the traditions of their past.

My work a Person-Centered, and I integrate other theories and techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and (EMDR).

​

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.

The loneliness and disconnection from ourselves that we experience can be overwhelming. Sometimes it is hard to know where to begin when we feel stuck or far away. As a counselor, it is my goal to be safe company for you while you reawaken to your inner wisdom.

Right now my services are rooted in experiential and body-based healing. I take an eclectic and individualized approach, utilizing modalities like Internal Family Systems and Creative Mindfulness. 

My passion is working with those who have experienced trauma, chronic illness, religious abuse, marginalization and discrimination, disassociation, burnout or stress, and identity questions. If you don’t fit into these experiences, but would like to reach out, please do! Research shows that the client-counselor relationship is one of the most important factors to affect healing and I’m happy to meet anyone with that goal in mind.

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.

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 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!

As an intern therapist, I take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating the mind-body connection into treatment. I strive to understand the entirety of my clients' lives and experiences, addressing overarching patterns while nurturing the vital link between physical sensations, movements, and mental well-being. My goal is to offer tailored, holistic support that guides individuals on their unique journey towards healing and growth.

Currently completing my final year in Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, I am deeply passionate about mental health advocacy. At heart, I am committed to fostering a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I specialize in working with individuals who have faced trauma, childhood abuse, religious/spiritual abuse, healing from purity culture, chronic illness, and more.

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".
