Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, but meaningful change is possible.

My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in evidence-based practices including motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation. I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to them. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Ignite Counseling Colorado
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, CSAT
At Ignite Counseling Colorado, we specialize in outpatient addiction therapy for individuals in recovery or transitioning from higher levels of care through a step-down program. With weekly or biweekly sessions, this level of support is often a strong fit for those with mild to moderate recovery needs who are ready to build lasting change.
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy, and you do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Recovery begins with a conversation. Our compassionate therapists are here to help you explore your options, clarify your next steps, and support your healing journey when you are ready.

Together, we build healthier coping strategies and reconnect with your sense of self and meaning.
26 Years Experience

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
