About me

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much!”

Hello!
My name is Donya and my goal is to inspire hope; and assist clients to heal and change within themselves and within their relationships. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master’s in Clinical Counseling/Marriage and Family from University of Northern Colorado in May 2010. I have over fifteen years of experience in working with mental health, personal crisis, and relationships. I have worked with couples, families, individuals, and groups of all ages on issues ranging from addiction, anxiety, blended family, communication, depression, divorce, domestic violence, grief/loss, infidelity, parenting issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexual dysfunctions, trauma and many more. I have also worked with veterans, front line workers and/or clients who just simply struggle with stress and the frustrations of life.

I have worked in private practice, community settings, residential and outpatient settings of a Community Mental Health Center and a domestic violence facility. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing on a variety of modalities to best serve my client’s needs and goals. The modalities that have proven most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Person Centered Therapy; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Systemic Therapy.
I believe therapy/counseling is a partnership and the most important aspect of the partnership is trust. I look forward to building a unique partnership with you, while gaining your trust. Taking the step to research and seek out a therapist is a very courageous step. I await with pleasure to work with you towards hope, healing, and change!
