As a clinician and researcher committed to social justice, I am deeply aware of the inequities that marginalized individuals face in their daily lives and within institutional systems that often perpetuate harm. My work is rooted in empathy, intersectionality, and cultural humility, guided by the belief that healing begins when individuals are seen, valued, and heard. I approach therapy through a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens, understanding how power dynamics, historical trauma, and systemic bias can shape the mental health and educational outcomes of those I serve. My practice fosters a space for safety, authenticity, and connection, empowering children, adolescents, and families to discover their voices and cultivate resilience. Beyond my clinical and research work, I am a lifelong cat lover and farmer whose passion for animals began early in life. My background includes years of experience in the veterinary field, animal rescue, and TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs, where I collaborated on community spay/neuter initiatives to improve animal welfare. Today, I live on our family farm, where I continue to welcome and care for animals that have experienced hardship, providing them with a safe and loving home. Working the land and caring for animals offers a profound sense of balance and holistic healing that continues to shape my daily life and values. A wide range of lived experiences has shaped my personal and professional journey. As an adoptee, I developed a deep appreciation for identity, belonging, and the nuanced complexities of attachment. My service in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Korea and multiple domestic assignments, broadened my worldview and deepened my commitment to service. Having navigated my own recovery from addiction, I bring compassion, authenticity, and insight to helping others through their own healing processes. As a parent advocating within the school system for safety, equity, and special education services, I became even more motivated to challenge inequities that too often silence misunderstood children.

For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I regularly tap into the motivation I want to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do? Imagine how it feels… the waves constantly coming at you. You personally have to navigate these situations, because you’re the only one with all the answers. But it feels scary and shameful that you don’t have the foggiest clue of what you’re doing. And shouldn’t you already know by now?? Not at all! Truth is, college is a much more difficult time than most people acknowledge. But hard times can also be opportunities… for you to discover more fully who you are and how to embrace this ‘not-knowing.’ Our work together will help you learn how to make sense of all these different feelings, and cultivate the creativity needed to make something interesting and new out of all those questions. Instead of being pummeled by the waves, you can actually surf them! Instead of getting pulled in by the undertow, the barrage of self-critical and anxious thoughts that keep you up at night, I’ll help you learn how to approach these without fear and harness them so you can find your answers. Let’s get started! If you’re excited about putting aside the worry and the stress and finding your energy and direction again, call or email me so we can get started. College can be that great time you’d always hoped it would be.

You are tired of feeling anxious, worrying about a variety of different things and overwhelmed by your long to-do list. Anxiety attacks are stopping you from living your best life. You are struggling to stop your anxious thoughts from flowing into everything you do. You are always helping others and sometimes not making time for yourself. You are a smart and ambitious woman who sometimes doubts her accomplishments. Your insecurities sometimes rob you of your peace and prevent you from being able to engage in life in a relaxed way. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can tame your inner critic and reclaim your life. Imagine feeling less anxious and feeling more confident. You can finally relax and do the “work-life balance” thing. Together, we’ll discover coping tools, guide you towards self-acceptance of your anxiety, and help you progress towards true healing I can help you achieve this. With my online private practice, you can video chat with me from the comfort of your own space. Instead of playing phone tag, just visit my website (www.simplylivingcounseling.com) and book your free 15-minute phone consultation online today.

Implicit to my practice is the belief that each one of us possesses the emotional wherewithal and many of the skills needed to navigate life’s journey; sometimes we just need to gain additional perspective and access workable strategies to move forward.

Managing academic stress, navigating relationship dynamics, making big life decisions, coping with financial pressures, and figuring out what comes next is a lot.

As a therapist, I employ my 13+ years of experience working with diverse groups of adolescents and young adults to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

Life is stressful. Change and acceptance are difficult & sometimes seem downright impossible. As a psychotherapist my goal is to help you: feel supported; gain confidence; & cope with life's-stressors. Together we will create a flexible treatment plan 'tailor-made' for you. You will gain insight, learn coping skills, feel and become self-empowered. I have over 32 years’ experience helping clients/students suffering from anxiety, depression, loss/grief, & relationship issues. My experience also includes teaching all levels of psychology, supervising therapists, and helping people deal with life's transitions. Remember, our sessions will be 'tailor-made' to meet your wants and needs. And, to help me fulfill my promise to you of 'tailor-made sessions,' I adhere to the following mandate of Carl Gustav Jung: "Know your theories well - then place them on the shelf when in a room with the miracle of a human soul." Problems that we cannot 'solve,' together we WILL 'manage.' Phone call inquiries guarantee a response because I check my voicemail frequently. Emails - not as quickly. Please inquire about my sliding scale fee to meet your financial needs.

If it requires developing new skills, I offer help through mindfulness, breathing practices, biofeedback, relaxation, and thought management. I'm confident that by learning to think and act differently, and addressing obstacles to change, you will gain more control over your life and start feeling better.

Hi, I'm Dr. Franks! When I see students, I conduct an initial session where I provide a diagnosis (if present) and can recommend and provide medications and/or therapy for treatment. I enjoy working with students because their task to start living on their own and develop their own identity is uniquely challenging and exciting. I can help with the diagnosis and treatment of things like depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, etc. Symptoms that my patients commonly struggle with include worry, sadness, suicidal thinking, stress, insomnia, and trouble concentrating. I am passionate about working with motivated students to help them thrive during their time in college. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Denver, earning degrees in Biology, Chemistry, and French. I completed my medical and residency training at the University of Colorado, where I had the privilege of serving as Chief Resident. I have since worked in private practice. I look forward to working with you!
