Language matters! This post may ruffle some feathers but I think it needs to be said. Children or dependents can be abandoned, but adults who are capable of taking care of themselves can not be abandoned. Let’s start believing that relationships are a choice made by two empowered individuals instead of thinking that relationships are an exchange of need.

I have recently been given an opportunity to study Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD with the STRONG STAR Training Initiative. Prolonged Exposure Therapy is evidence-based treatment for PTSD endorsed by the VA for combat veterans. This education is vital to the treatment of trauma, but is usually unaffordable. STRONG STAR is a organization dedicated to training mental health providers who work with veterans. They offer partial scholarships to help make this training available, and luckily I am a recipients of one of those scholarships. I am looking forward to participating in the training in April! Keep up the good work !

The Story of Skyward Counseling

I first began Skyward Counseling in 2017 after receiving my MA degree from Regis University. I chose the name Skyward Counseling after thinking of the mythological bird, the caladrius. According to Roman mythology, this bird would fly into the windows of the sick, take on their illness, and then disperse the illness into the sky where it would be burned by the sun. I thought this was a lovely metaphor for the therapeutic process: as the client shares their story, illness, or mental anguish it starts to lessen for them, and they begin to heal.

Before going into private practice, I completed my internship at People House, and my practicum hours at the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies. During my internship, I co-facilitated support groups with the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance, and began accruing hours towards my Licensed Addiction Counselor credential which I recieved in 2019. I hold a second Master’s Degree in Literary Studies from the University of Denver (DU) where I specialized in war literature, and the poetics of trauma.

In addition to my academic studies, I served in the United States Army Reserves from 2003-2010 where I deployed under Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2005-2006. I was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant.

Since starting my private practice, I have continued my education through numerous workshops, trainings, and voracious reading. I have recieved certifications for addiction counseling, Acudetox, and training in EMDR. My specialties include: addiction/ recovery (both chemical and process addictions), trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and military family issues.
