Counseling Services


Ashes to Ascension Counseling provides individual mental health services for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, chronic health concerns, and life transitions. Care is rooted in a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that values safety, collaboration, and ethical practice. Each service is offered with respect for your unique experiences, goals, and pace of healing.
Approach to Care
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. My approach focuses on creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, respected, and empowered throughout your process.
Sessions are collaborative and paced intentionally, allowing space to explore experiences, build awareness, and develop practical tools for emotional regulation and resilience. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and other integrative methods based on your needs and preferences.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to ethical care, nervous-system safety, and compassionate presence. Healing is approached as a process that unfolds over time, guided by curiosity, consent, and trust.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling offers a supportive space to explore life’s challenges and develop greater clarity, balance, and self-understanding. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief, chronic health issues, and major life transitions.
Therapy sessions focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and reconnecting with your inner resources. Care is tailored to your goals and paced to support sustainable, meaningful change.
Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
I offer psychotherapy support for clients preparing for or engaging in psychedelic experiences outside of the Healing Center, including psilocybin or ketamine work with external providers, as well as ceremonial or other non-clinical settings. This work focuses on preparation and integration from a therapeutic perspective, including emotional readiness, intention-setting, meaning-making, and post-experience processing. I also support clients integrating past psychedelic or other non-ordinary states of consciousness.
This work is offered within a harm reduction framework, recognizing the potential psychological, physical, and contextual risks associated with non-regulated settings. Therapy emphasizes safety, informed decision-making, and integration that supports emotional stability, insight, and overall well-being. All services are provided within the scope of my counseling practice and are separate from healing center services.
Telehealth and In-Person Sessions Available
I offer secure Telehealth therapy to residents throughout the state of Colorado using a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record (EHR) platform. Telehealth sessions allow you to engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, while still receiving high-quality, confidential care.
For clients located in or near Durango, Colorado, I also offer in-person sessions. In-person therapy may be a good fit for those who prefer face-to-face connection or benefit from being physically present in the therapeutic space.
Whether meeting virtually or in person, sessions are approached with the same level of care, intention, and confidentiality. Together, we can determine which option best supports your needs and circumstances.
