I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience. I began counseling as a pastor working with individuals, couples and families. I left the pastorate and now I am a fulltime psychotherapist and loving it. I practice psychotherapy from an integrative/holistic paradigm. My general approach is “person-centered”. This means that I don’t come with an agenda. You are the agenda. My goal is to know you, to hear the narrative of your life and come alongside you and resource you to help you respond in a healthy way to whatever you are facing in life. I am a certified Brain Health Coach which means I am trained to look at mental health from the perspective of the latest neuroscience research as it relates to psychotherapy. I am trained in EMDR and practice from a trauma-informed paradigm. I will draw from the full spectrum of therapeutic approaches and interventions to help you better understand you and your world.

Hi, Welcome to my intro! My name is June. That you're reading this most likely means you feel your life could be better in some way, and you're looking for some help in making that happen. That takes some courage and initiative to take a positive step-- not just "settle."I'm a licensed professional counselor and a certified addiction counselor, based in Colorado. I also have experience and expertise working with issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, important transitions in life, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes a person doesn't have a specific problem such as one of those, but just feels that life could be better in some way. She may be seeking better self-awareness. He may believe he has a purpose in life that he hasn't yet identified, and would like some help in getting insight into that. She may have come to believe "This job isn't right for me," but now would like some guidance in figuring out "So what is?" Also, this is a very different and troubling time for all of us. You may have lost your job due to a shutdown occurring out of your, or anyone else's, control. You, or someone you love, may have become seriously sick. You may feel anxious about what will happen --next week, or next month, or next year. I can help with all of that. If something from this profile sounds like what you'd like, I'd love to work with you.

I believe in treating whole people: thoughts, beliefs, emotions, experiences, patterns, and behaviors, because I have seen the connection between all of these variables, and the power in identifying these connections. I am looking forward to meeting you, and I celebrate your decision to seek help. It is a difficult thing to do, and you are already heroic and daring in your search. Self-reflection and self-exploration are the beginning of exquisite growth. “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin

Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness. As a former collegiate athlete, personal trainer, and integrated health coach, responsibility and overcoming adversity have become essential characteristics towards my way of being. These experiences matched with the teachings found at Naropa University allow me to bring forth an alternative approach to mental health counseling. I would love to hear from you. I currently have openings and am exhilarated by the opportunity to work with men, adolescents, and teenagers wanting to improve their mental health. We will work towards seeking greater clarity, fostering awareness, and shifting maladaptive behaviors and ideologies.

Starting counseling can feel like a big step—especially when life looks fine on the outside but feels overwhelming, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through change, growth, and difficult seasons of life. My background includes advanced graduate training in both psychotherapy and family systems, along with experience in corporate settings, education, and higher education—giving me a broad understanding of how personal wellbeing, relationships, work, identity, and life transitions intersect. Clients often tell me that they feel deeply heard in our work together—that I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help them organize thoughts and emotions in ways that bring clarity and movement. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I integrate insight-oriented work with evidence-based approaches including cognitive and relational therapies, attachment-informed perspectives, emotion-focused work, strengths-based counseling, and solution-focused strategies. Therapy with me is not about judgment or quick fixes—it is about helping you better understand yourself and make meaningful, sustainable changes. I especially enjoy working with adults and couples navigating: • Life transitions and identity shifts • Women’s health, perimenopause, and menopause • Relationship challenges and couple dynamics • Parenting, adoption, and changing family roles • Career exploration, career transitions, and returning to work • Workplace stress, burnout, and professional identity • ADHD in adults, parents, and women • Midlife reinvention and empty nest transitions • Moving, relocation, and rebuilding community • Military families and military life transitions (non-combat/PTSD focused) • International, multicultural, and expat experiences • Spanish-speaking clients I also offer support around career development and professional transitions, helping clients explore next steps with intention and confidence while staying grounded in counseling rather than coaching alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines warmth, experience, thoughtful insight, and practical support, I would be honored to work with you.

When imagining my ideal client, I see individuals from diverse backgrounds—LGBTQ+ youth navigating identity and acceptance, juveniles facing emotional and behavioral challenges during critical developmental years, adults striving for personal growth or healing from past trauma, and men working to overcome stigma around mental health and express vulnerability. Each client brings a unique set of needs: the need to be heard without judgment, to feel safe in their identity, to rebuild trust, and to move toward a more empowered and authentic self. My approach is grounded in existential-phenomenological psychology, which means I focus on understanding each person’s unique lived experience—how they make meaning, face uncertainty, and navigate questions of identity, purpose, and connection. Alongside this foundation, I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client—whether that’s a teen struggling with identity, an adult working through anxiety or life transitions, someone processing trauma, or a man learning to express emotion in a safe and healthy way.
