Hello!  Thank you for your interest in Arvada Therapy Solutions, PLLC.  It is my passion to provide high quality services to all members of our community.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my training or practice.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education from the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center.  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado, as well as an Approved Clinical Supervisor nationally.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and their families; specifically with anxiety, trauma, domestic violence, depression, sports psychology, and other issues affecting a family’s daily functioning. I am trained in several evidence based models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, and Multi-systemic Therapy (MST).   I am also trained in directive and non-directive play therapy.

I work from a strength based and collaborative approach. I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes for themselves and for their family. My goal is to help each individual learn the skills to accomplish the changes they are hoping for now and in the future.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a mom to two wonderful boys.  We enjoy spending time outside playing and doing many art and science projects.

I believe that every person has the ability to grow and change no matter how far gone they feel. I also understand that life can be extremely difficult and that change is not easy. I am passionate about working with children and individuals who are experiencing a wide range of struggles and are looking for counseling. I believe that for counseling to be the most successful, it is important for the client to feel safe within the therapeutic relationship. I strive to help the client feel heard and safe in the counseling room.
 
I received my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Northern Colorado with a minor in Psychology. I was a teacher for three years before I decided to get my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary. My passion is to help people in their journey through life after trauma.  I have worked with individuals who have struggled with addiction, abuse, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, along with people who were experiencing a life changing event and have seen the power that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can have to help people overcome each of these experiences.
 
I am a Colorado native who loves to hike and ski. My husband and I love to travel whenever we can. We also have a English Bulldog who loves to cuddle. I also have a niece and two nephews who I love to spend time with.

I enjoy developing authentic, collaborative and empathetic relationships with my clients, and believe that everyone can enact positive change in their lives. My therapeutic style is strengths based and influenced by relational, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based approaches to healing and growth. I enjoy working with both adults and children to deal with change, understand and reduce fears and anxieties, increase self-love, develop self-care practices, and explore thoughts and feelings. 
​

As someone who is compassionate and empathic to those who struggle in life, I hope to give my clients a safe space to disclose their experiences without fear of judgment. I believe people can grow in skills and resiliency from the strength within themselves and lead productive and happy lives. I look forward to working collaboratively with my clients to help them meet their goals, empowering them toward growth and change, and providing a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship.

I began my college education at Texas A&M University, where I studied Biomedical Science. After college, I spent a few years working in research laboratories and then took a break from working while raising my four children, who inspired and encouraged me to return to school to become a therapist. In 2019, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from CU Denver. I graduated in 2022 with my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University.  I am a trauma informed therapist. I am trained in EMDR and certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol. I implement Person Centered Therapy, Attachment Focused modalities, Mindfulness Based approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work. 

I have been living in Colorado for the past 12 years with my family, and we love it here -- any day we can be outside together is a good day!

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Candidate (LPCC), I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, and families navigating challenges like ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, and behavioral concerns. My approach is warm, relational, and rooted in a child-centered framework. 
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colorado Christian University. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a strong emphasis on child development, and family collaboration. 

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy hosting friends and family, spending time outdoors, reading, and spending quality time with my fiancé.

Richard Bland, BS, Intern

Throughout my life I have found myself wanting to help others and have hoped to find a career where assisting others through their struggles was a main aspect. I hope to apply these factors into helping clients learn to help themselves by providing skills and strategies that lead to their healing and recovery. Deciding to enter therapy is a decision that I applaud others for and am honored to be the one who guides you through life’s ups and downs.

I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in psychology. I am now an intern student from Colorado Christian University in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I have studied and been trained in the subjects of depression, anxiety, and a multitude of other psychological distresses.
​
I grew up just outside of Portland, Oregon and moved to Colorado in 2022. I enjoy being outdoors, spending time with family, or taking care of my dog. I have yet to explore much of Colorado, but so far have loved everything this beautiful state has to offer!  

Bruce Kenyon, BA, Intern

There are inherently nurturing ways of relating to ourselves and others that foster connection and growth; however, for various (bio-psycho-social/cultural) reasons, these ideals are often forgotten, overlooked, or become inaccessible. Through a non-judgmental, compassionate and attuned approach I strive to be with each client in their full spectrum of being- their unfolding process and unique expression. 
As my career in massage has taught me - my role as a Mental Health Counselor is facilitating each individual in their process towards what is most beneficial for their highest aspirations- while recognizing how it intersects with their broader context. 
As a graduate student at Naropa University I am learning a somatic approach in which the experience of being with your body is offered as a focal point in accessing, moving through and repatterning past and current traumas. Deeping into relationships with our body also translates into skills for long term resilience. 
I have a background in art making/teaching and working with kids, which continue to be sources of inspiration. Creativity, play, and joy are my favorite parts of life. In my free time connecting with nature, music, cooking and community are crucial for staying grounded in such turbulent times.

As an aspiring counselor, I am honored to have the privilege of witnessing others tell their own story and empower themselves to make changes. I am passionate about collaborating with people to recognize their strengths and utilize them in ways that are specifically tailored to the individual. I emphasize the power of the therapeutic relationship in addressing everyday problems, as well as how they tie into the big picture of our attitudes toward ourselves, those close to us, and our lives as a whole.
​
I am a student working towards a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Colorado at Denver. My experience working with children who have special needs has demonstrated for me that every individual has their own story, needs, complexities, and perspectives, and has instilled within me a drive to approach my work with positivity, empathy, fun, and understanding.

Cody Sullivan, MA, Intern

As a social work intern, I am here to provide support and share tools to help you grow and overcome life’s challenges. Seeking out therapy is both brave and scary, and I strive to provide individuals with a judgment-free environment.  
 
I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a B.S. in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I have been in social work for five years, including time as a case manager with Child Protective Services and most recently at a state agency for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This summer, I will complete my Master’s in Social Work at Boise State University.  
 
I grew up in Broomfield, Colorado, and after spending a few years living in the Inland Northwest, decided I missed the sun. Hiking, biking, and climbing are my favorite ways to maintain my own mental health.
