I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience working in schools as a school psychologist. I have been married for 30 years and have three adult sons.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation where you're heard, supported, and never judged. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me because I bring both empathy and real-world tools into each session. I know that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—so I tailor my approach to fit you, not just the diagnosis.

You should know that I genuinely care about helping you build a more balanced, empowered life—whether that means learning to manage anxiety, navigating ADHD, working through past trauma, improving your relationships, or finding your voice in your own story. I’ll show up for you consistently, with compassion, honesty, and a strong belief that change is always possible—even when it doesn’t feel that way yet.

I’m a Colorado‐licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people move through life’s hardest moments. I work with a calm, steady presence and a deep respect for each person’s story. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in real‐world experience. I care about creating a space where you feel understood, supported, and never judged. My goal is to help you feel stronger, clearer, and more connected to yourself.

Mareayna is a licensed therapist with 7 years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress management. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Webster, she employs evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, to empower clients on their healing journeys.

Emotional distress stems from learning unhealthy habits and patterns. This has motivated me to focus on healthy integration of our emotional experience, which can lead to healing from depression, anxiety and trauma. To best help you with healing from these patterns, I use research backed methodologies including ACT, CBT, and EMDR.

Taking the first step toward healing is a courageous act, and I’m here to support you on this journey. Whether you’re navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, or life stress, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals and work toward building the clarity, confidence, and balance you deserve.

Are you feeling stressed out, struggling with a life transition, not happy with your career, unfulfilled in your current relationship and/or contemplating divorce? Life can be challenging and sometimes we need help along the way.

I work collaboratively with adults and couples utilizing a variety of pragmatic, therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs and personality.

Whether you want to work on communication skills, getting unstuck, reducing stress/anxiety/anger, developing a more positive outlook or improved coping mechanisms, I use a strengths-based approach to empower you to move into a new chapter in your life.

We will work together via a HIPAA compliant video platform (Zoom), meeting from the comfort of YOUR own couch, so there is no need to stress about travel, traffic, or being recognized in a therapist's waiting room. For your convenience, I offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments.
