Hey, I’m Xandra. I help college students get clear on their academic path, work through difficult emotions, and feel more confident and grounded. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life. Others struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or relationship challenges. I have 12+ years of experience as both a college career counselor and a professional counselor, so I can support you in many different ways—whether you’re feeling stuck in your studies, uncertain about your future, or simply seeking more balance and peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students heal, grow, and create more meaningful lives. I also specialize in helping clients strengthen their intuition.

My work is built on a foundation of the belief that everyone possesses health, sanity, and wisdom regardless of how disconnected they feel from it or the problems presenting in their life. I support clients tired of being pathologized and ready to become authors of their own experience through self-defined narratives of healing. For over 10 years, I served my community as a crisis counselor in various capacities and sat with folks experiencing the worst moment of their lives. I have yet to meet a person who is beyond help or "too much." Through my career, I have honed a unique ability to work with suicidal thoughts, addiction, anger and psychosis. You are not broken. You are not alone. From city streets to field medical tents in the mountains, I have seen the most extreme forms of mental anguish and learned even in the darkest nights there is always hope, beauty and resilience to be found. Let me help you discover the same.

As a trauma-informed, patient-centered psychiatric clinician, I specialize in collaborative mental health care for children, adolescents, and their families.

I look forward to helping you achieve your mental health goals as you reach positive, lasting growth. I believe in meeting people with compassion, curiosity, and support, serving as a thoughtful and collaborative partner along your path toward healing. In our time together, you are empowered to achieve that growth in a safe environment that helps you build insight, increase self-understanding, and improve emotional regulation. Care is tailored to your unique history, experiences, needs, and goals, while at all times remaining warm, thoughtful, relational, and collaborative, so you realize resilience and meaningful change. My therapeutic journey began more than ten years ago working in the mental health field as a social worker and therapist, supporting children, adolescents, and their family navigating trauma and complex mental health challenges. Their resiliency and drive showed me the importance of recognizing the impact of past experiences, building on existing strengths, and creating space for healing, growth, and meaningful change. In my care now, I use this integrative and whole-person perspective to ensure compassionate, trauma-informed care in every session. When I’m not helping patients, I’m spending time with my two amazing daughters and a loving husband. We especially enjoy skiing and hiking around Colorado.

My Approach: Direct and Compassionate - I believe these are the two greatest traits I can bring into my work with others. While working with clients I strive to provide honest feedback that will help guide them forward towards recovery while offering compassion along the journey. I believe that the best route to change is a direct one that does not beat around the bush. The road to recovery of any form can be very difficult as life may be in a state of turmoil. I have found that offering a compassionate approach that fits an individual's needs is the best route to take. My specialities/areas of focus are: substance abuse, addiction and trauma. I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have additional trainings in Brainspotting and DBT. In my work as a counselor and my own life I have found that connection is of incredible importance. Inability or unwillingness to feel and express uncomfortable emotions can keep people disconnected. Through the process of recovery, lifestyle changes, and personal growth many people experience fear, anger, sadness, and many other emotions.
