Be Counseling LLC

Everyone has a story to tell. In all of our stories, life can become difficult and unpredictable. We can become stuck, falling into patterns of relating to ourselves, others, and the world in ways that are simply not working. You are meant for something more! At Be Counseling LLC, as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I will join you to explore the themes within your story, your values and beliefs, and uncover the areas where you may feel stuck. Be Counseling offers a safe, nurturing and challenging environment so that you may feel empowered to live more fully as you are intended to Be . My approach to therapy incorporates multiple theories, which are emphasized depending on the specific needs of the client. I utilize an integrated psychodynamic approach, combining elements of attachment theory, narrative theory, cognitive behavioral techniques, object relations theory, and relational psychotherapy, entering into the here and now of the present to explore a new way of being relationally. I received a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in 2009 from the Seattle School of Psychology and Theology and my Bachelors of Social Sciences from Kansas State University in 1996. I have spent over twenty years working with teens, young adults, families, young men and individuals in the social services field, as well as with ministries in the Colorado Springs and Kansas City area. My training, education, and therapeutic experience has included working with individuals, families, and couples with a wide variety of presenting conditions ranging from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, academic and occupational issues, trauma, PTSD, men's issues, partner conflict/ communication issues, and phase of life issues. Be Counseling is founded on the idea that we are all on a journey and need people to walk beside us as we become more fully who we are intended to Be. I believe that healing does not occur in isolation; it is a relational endeavor. It takes courage to take a step toward healing. I would love to join you on your path of growth. It would be an honor and privilege to walk beside you! Please reach out for a free consultation and to schedule an appointment.
