I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. One of the major reasons for me entering this field was to be able to assist others in meeting their goals. I earned my Master of Social Work through the University of Iowa in 2014 with an emphasis on persons with severe and persistent mental illness. I have worked with groups, and individuals in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
My approach to working with patients is that this is your therapy and we will work on or towards whatever you chose. It is your life and my goal will be to help you discover/live your best life (defined by you). I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and bipolar disorder. Theories or styles are CBT, EMDR, SFBT, and MI with a strengths-based approach, incorporating mindfulness.
Seeking help when we are struggling takes courage and I commend you for taking the first step. I look forward to working with you.

Zella was very helpful for me. She helped me with several things I had questions about including how to reframe my language when talking about my feelings with other people, voicing my needs appropriately, and setting boundaries. She also gave me support with my goals.

Written on Jun 20, 2022 after therapy with Zella for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, and adhd
Zella is brilliant! She's always really understanding and warm, she makes me feel validated and understood every time we speak, and she's such a safe space. I had a few counsellors before her, and within my first two sessions with Zella, she'd done more to help me than my previous two combined, in the year and a half I was with them. She's always really considerate of our different cultural backgrounds and super respectful of my pronouns and identity. She also has such a way with words, making me feel calm, hopeful, and even excited for the road ahead. She always reads between the lines of what I say (and what I don't say), and I feel like I know myself so much better already after only a short time with her. 10/10 would highly recommend this wonderful woman!
