I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado with over 13 years of experience in the field. I have experience working with a wide age range, adolescents through adults, and with a diverse population.
My own journey of personal and spiritual growth has led me to help others achieve success. I believe in the power of mentors and coaches, and in identifying opportunities for growth and fulfillment. My goal in assisting my clients, especially adolescents and young adults, is to help them break through their perceived limitations and live their best life. If you are willing to do the work, I'll be right beside you!
I also work with individuals seeking emotional recovery from trauma, and those overcoming drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. I use several modalities with my clients, including traditional counseling and life coaching, Solution-Focused and Strengths Based approaches, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and physical activity and exercise.
In 2016, I published my first book ,“Toxic Terms: 10 Things Never to Say to Kids…But What You Can Say Instead.”

Devon gets to the crux of what I’m working on and listens well and draws me out so that I can work out what I need to do. I feel very supported and understood because she’s been where I am. It’s so comforting to have this support from her.

Devon is more than just a counselor. I always feel so comfortable talking to her, like never before. I’m usually very careful when it comes to opening up, and I rarely do so. With Devon, however, I can talk about anything and know for sure that she wont judge me. She managed to break the walls I couldn’t break with anyone.

Devon has a solution based approach to counseling, which is very helpful if you are working towards fixing problems or working on specific issues.
She has helped me tenfold in unraveling my emotions and deal with them in the most justified way.
Strongly recommend Devon to those looking for a trustworthy confidant and most importantly, a friend to lean on!
