Courageous Paths Counseling in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri

Welcome – You Belong Here

Lost in the sauce? Whether it’s anxiety that just won’t quit, trauma that keeps popping up like an unwanted notification, or OCD calling too many of the shots, you’re probably here because you’re ready for something to change. Therapy isn’t just about venting week after week—it’s about doing the real work that moves you forward. Together, we’ll build the tools you need to break free from the patterns keeping you stuck and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and—most importantly—in your control.

Science-Backed Strategies That Actually Work

Let’s be honest—no one wants to feel trapped in the never-ending cycle of overthinking, fear, or frustration. That’s where the good stuff comes in. EMDR? It helps reprocess those tough experiences, so they stop showing up uninvited. IFS? It’s like getting all the different parts of you on the same page (finally). ERP? The ultimate game-changer for OCD, helping you break free from those relentless obsessions. Mindfulness? Think of it as your daily reset button, helping you slow down, breathe, and stay present when life gets messy.

A Practical Approach to Lasting Change

Let’s be real—nobody wants to be in therapy forever. Although, I am pretty f*cking cool. My goal is to help you make change you can actually feel. Whether it’s getting through social situations without spiraling, building resilience after life hits hard, or finally telling intrusive thoughts to exit stage left, our work together is all about practical, no-nonsense tools that fit your life—not the other way around. It’s about progress, not perfection—because growth is messy, but so worth it!

Your Next Chapter Starts Now (Like, Right Now)

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Whether you’re ready to jump in or just curious about what’s next, I’m here to help you move forward—without all the pressure. Let’s work together to build a life that feels lighter, clearer, and totally you. Ready?! Let’s do this—book your free consultation today.
