Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness Therapy

I specialize in helping adults navigate addiction and mental health challenges. I received my Masters in Addiction Counseling in Psychology from Colorado State University.

Using Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and develop practical strategies to manage stress and build healthier coping mechanisms for lasting change.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed by life’s challenges, such as stress, anxiety, or negative patterns that no longer serve them. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions and behaviors, seeking guidance to break free from cycles that hold them back.

Their goal is to understand themselves, heal from past wounds, and create healthier, more fulfilling habits. Ultimately, they want to feel empowered, confident, and at peace, with support to achieve a balanced, meaningful life.

Have you suffered trauma(s) throughout your life? Do you feel like you are living in a state of constant stress? Did you have a strained family dynamic? I work with complex trauma, LGBTQIA+, medical complexity/disability, and individuals dealing with challenging family dynamics to heal from chronic freeze or fawn states so that they can experience the full spectrum of their emotions and discover their purpose and meaning after Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other traumas.

I also work with neurodiversity, and adults who are late diagnosed to help them best understand the brain they have, and how they can work with it as it currently exists.

Hi, I’m Lily. I graduated with my MA in counseling psychology from the University of Denver, and am an LPCC in Colorado. My passion lies in accessible therapy and helping clients embrace the brain and body they have. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I believe that the relationship between myself and my client is the most important component of therapeutic success.

With a foundation of solid rapport, I provide the space for trauma processing, establishing values, creating and implementing coping strategies, and engaging with the full range of your emotions to find purpose and meaning in the life you have.

I believe in treating the problem and the symptoms. I am dedicated to helping you heal and grow into your authentic and healthy self, regardless of what you have experienced in the past. You deserve to live the life you want and have the life you need.

Life can be demanding, even when we appear capable of handling it. I work with teens and adults ages 15+ navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, chronic stress, chronic pain and disability, neurodiversity, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and practical. I help clients understand patterns, make sense of their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop tools for meaningful change. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I also understand military culture, identity transitions, and adapting when life does not unfold as expected.

I value individuality and believe therapy should have room for both seriousness and personality. Outside the therapy room, I’m an artist and playwright who enjoys cosplay, anime, classic literature and philosophy, biology, exploring different cultures, and learning about the many ways people understand and express themselves.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy, and therapy doesn’t have to be perfect to be productive. If you’re looking for thoughtful conversation, practical growth, creativity, and a therapist who will see you as an individual rather than a diagnosis, we may work well together.
