Hi there! I’m a Colorado native, animal lover, and crime junkie. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist with years of experience treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, PTSD, and more. While I have an extensive background working with many different mental health diagnoses, I specialize in anxiety and am passionate about helping you manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelm through evidenced-based treatments. I will teach you skills that will allow you to feel confident in your abilities to manage your own emotions and work towards reaching personal goals, such as improving self-esteem and self-compassion.  I have an eclectic approach to therapy, pulling mainly from Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies. As your therapist, I will honor your unique complexities and help you to look at many different aspects of your life that could be impacting your mental health, including environment, physical health, relationships, etc. I bring a warm, fun, and passionate approach to therapy and genuinely want to help you feel better and work towards reaching your personal and emotional goals.  When you are ready to prioritize yourself and your well-being, quiet the mental “noise”, and improve your overall quality of life, call me to schedule your first appointment. I work with adults (individuals and couples) 18 and older.

I am so glad you are here, I understand taking this first step to seek therapy wasn’t easy. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is when we realize we need to take care of our mental health and that’s a huge accomplishment. The foundation of therapy is the relationship built between therapist and client. This relationship allows for a supportive, safe place for you to be able to challenge yourself to heal and change. So right now the struggle can be anxiety, feeling overwhelmed with thoughts, difficulty with getting out of bed, making and maintaining healthy relationships. Dealing with some of these symptoms, if left untreated, can cause a domino effect in job performance, your physical well-being, and your relationships with friends and loved ones. Sometimes you need someone that can be an unbiased ear who helps you find your path. I have been in the field of mental health in many different capacities. However, providing one on one therapy is my true passion. During my early college years, I worked as a tutor with adolescents who were underprivileged, under-supported, struggling with learning disabilities. This sparked an interest in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the California State University of San Bernardino. My journey continued working with children on the autism spectrum and assisting the families with the challenges which arise from parenting and maintaining relationships. I noticed that oftentimes families were not always given the same amount of support. This has further kindled my interest in wanting to provide better support for families. I then pursued a Master’s Degree of Science in counseling Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I bring over 12 years of experience working with children, families, individuals, and couples. Throughout my practice, I have helped others with learning new coping tools to help with life’s challenges. My skills in working with individuals include using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and narrative therapy to help others struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem issues, parenting, and trauma. All of which affect how we relate to others. My work has focused on building a strong family foundation. To educate my clients by teaching them how to communicate and strengthen their bond with other members of a family unit as well as relationships with peers and romantic partners. My biggest passion is to see the growth made by my clients to help them reach their maximum potential when they are provided with the needed guidance to succeed. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I bring enthusiasm in providing support for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a betrayal, the challenges of infertility, or the complexities of parenting, these struggles can feel isolating and deeply personal. Perhaps you’ve experienced trauma that continues to impact your daily life, relationships, or sense of self. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. You want to find a way to heal, gain clarity, and rebuild trust—with yourself, with others, or both. You’re ready to explore your thoughts and emotions in a space where you feel safe and supported, with someone who truly understands the unique challenges you face. My clients have experienced infidelity, fertility struggles, and parenting concerns. Using CBT and DBT, I create a nonjudgmental space to help you process emotions, uncover strengths, and build practical tools for change. Together, we’ll address challenges and work toward healing and meaningful growth. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to provide compassionate support and guidance every step of the way. Let’s connect for a free consultation to explore how I can help you heal and move forward with confidence.

Hey there! I'm Lamar, but you can call me KaMu. I'm proudly an MFT Associate at the Multicultural Therapy Academy, working under the guidance of Dr. Pamela Reeves. After finishing my bachelor's degree in health administration and management, I gained valuable experience as an MRI technologist with a neuroscience research team specializing in Functional MRI at the University of Southern California Medical Center. This hands-on involvement intensified my enthusiasm for Psychology, which led me to pursue a master's degree. At the University of Capella, I completed my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on Counselling Psychology. Currently, I'm enrolled in a Doctoral program at Quantum University, where I'm diving into the profound art of holistic healing for the mind, body, and spirit. This includes studying various modalities like hypnosis, NLP, and Neurofeedback, among others. I'm a passionate Psychologist with comprehensive expertise in providing innovative treatment to help individuals navigate psychological and emotional obstacles. I'm committed to offering unwavering support throughout the entire process of diagnosing, evaluating, and implementing treatment. My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in delving into the depths of trauma's history, unveiling hidden patterns, and embarking on a journey of emotional restoration. By doing so, we can rediscover the joy of life, nurture relationships, and revive our spiritual and emotional well-being. Let's work together to make that happen!

As a counselor, I don’t do “psychobabble.” I have a straight-talking and common sense approach to life’s problems. It is my job to help you find a way to make adjustments in your daily life that will help you improve decision making, find solutions to problems, and develop and maintain relationships with frank and honest communication.

I provide therapy for individuals who are struggling with the weight of their past consuming their present lives. I understand how intense emotions can lead to exhaustion within your close relationships and your day-to-day living. I am dedicated to offering a supportive and understanding environment where healing and growth are not just goals but achievable realities. I believe in the power of “aha” moments – those pivotal points of insight and clarity where understanding blossoms and the path forward becomes clear. In our sessions, we’ll engage in deep exploration, where the most profound breakthroughs can occur. My role is to guide you through this journey with care, drawing on my extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Let’s rediscover your strength, resilience, and capacity for joy. Together, we’ll work towards those insights that can transform how you see and experience life. Therapy is a collaborative process where we build trust and understanding, creating a space where you can express complex emotions without judgment. With over 6 years of experience providing counseling for adults, I have seen the transformative power of tools and talk therapy. My approach incorporates mindfulness, DBT, and EMDR to help you gain the skills and resources needed for lasting change. I offer one-on-one support tailored to address your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood dysregulation. I understand how challenging it can be to find the right therapist. When we get started, we will have an initial consultation to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit. Once we begin our work together, I commit to intently listening to your needs to foster a trusting and safe environment. Therapy can have a lasting impact on how you view the world, providing comfort during emotional and physical challenges, and giving you a space to express what makes you feel hurt, disconnected, or alone. If you’re ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing, I offer a 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good match. I’d love to help you get the support needed to live a more fulfilling life.

 I help people manage life’s transitions with less worry. Anxiety can often cloud our sense of who we are and make relationships and decisions difficult. With support and tools, together we can work to find coping strategies and sort through the tricky parts of being human. It is my goal to provide a warm, compassionate, sometimes humor-filled space to do this emotional work. I work from a supportive, client-centered, strength- based perspective. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.
