"I'm a licensed professional counselor who works primarily with young people, 11 years of age and up, who are confused about life and have become angry, non-communicative, anxious, unmotivated, depressed, and/or suicidal. I find young people often have difficulty with the learning curves associated with adolescence. I help people understand the very things that confuse them, whether it is family dynamics, organization, peer pressure, communication, self-esteem, social circle dynamics, gender identity issues, how to make sense of thoughts and emotions, how to socialize, how to deal with school, or how to deal with life in general."

"I believe everyone has the potential to fully appreciate one’s life and live in harmony, accomplishing wellness in every aspect – physical, emotional, relational, vocational, spiritual, and financial. However, when we experience difficult childhood or unfortunate events as adults, we lose touch with our strengths and ability to live as we choose. We also pull away from others in isolation when our true healing can happen only when we are courageous enough to reconnect with ourselves and others. My intention is to support clients in difficult times by helping them reclaim their true selves and regain power to fulfill their lives. "

"My approach to therapy is one that appreciates the client as an expert on their life and thus an active participant in their therapy. I help the client explore family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, and behavioral patterns that may contribute to their presenting concerns. Together, through trust and understanding, we alleviate the internal conflict and struggles that make happiness feel unreachable."

"You are not your depression or anxiety. You are not your circumstance or what has happened to you in the past. Who you are as a person is separate from these feelings or the things you have done. When we experience depression or anxiety or trauma our filters are off and we can't see the positive. We question our worth and our value. My purpose is to walk beside you to provide and guide you with an authentic and empathetic relationship to help you gain the tools you need in order to feel better. I run a small, growing private practice in Montrose that is inclusive, affirming and welcoming of all!"

"Are you living to go through the motions instead of enjoying each day? Do you feel overwhelmed, overworked, under appreciated or at your wit's end? Perhaps your current coping mechanisms aren't working so well for you or are creating tension in your intimate relationships? I believe the answers to your problems lie within you and through talking and exploring your emotions and reactions, we can construct solutions that can enhance your life."

"Stuck or Fearful? Are your past experiences negatively affecting your ways of being in the present, and how you can feel more connected to others? Emotional and psychological wellbeing requires we have balanced, trusting, and satisfying relationships with others. Loss of connection can result in depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. My goal is to provide a comfortable, healing and nurturing place for you to be curious and explore the here and now. "

"Careful exploration of the stories and ideas that influence our lives is essential to understanding the self. Looking closely at our internal conversations and those we have with others helps us to clarify our path to a joyful life."

"I am a Psychotherapist in private practice and my specialty is helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families to work through difficult life challenges and transitions. My work varies from helping individuals with self-esteem issues, to academic and career counseling, to guiding adolescents/young adults towards independent living, and to helping individuals and couples improve the quality of their relationships and of their individual happiness. I am committed to helping people take action, see results, and start living fully. I take an eclectic approach, using many evidence-based theories, and work to sculpt treatment that is individualized to each client."

"I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and LPC since 2010 and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist since 2012. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with my clients to optimize their relationship and sexual health. I am genuinely passionate about my work, and have a natural ability to make working through problems as comfortable as possible. I customize your treatment plan to fit your unique needs and pull from a variety of modalities. Do you feel you need more than general talk therapy? I am also trained in EMDR and Hypnosis, both of which are very powerful interventions!"

"I intend to convey a non-judgmental and non-pejorative attitude that is evident in the therapy process, regardless of the issues at hand. I use an integrative and individualized approach forming a therapeutic and productive partnership that best meets your needs."

"Past experiences, relationship struggles, self exploration, career shifts, chronic illness, loss, family dynamics, disordered eating and parenting are all things you do not have to work through alone. If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or are not feeling like the best version of yourself, I am here to help you mindfully navigate your journey in a compassionate, safe and therapeutic environment."

"I believe healing and recovery are connected to our ability to engage effectively in and build relationships with others. I work with individuals who struggle in their relationships with themselves and others, and I am experienced in providing psychotherapy to young adults, professionals, couples, adolescents, and families. Areas of expertise include: eating disorders, personality disorders, relationship problems, anxiety and mood disorders, addiction, trauma, and complicated grief and loss. I have training and expertise in the following treatment methods: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Mentalization-based Treatment (MBT); psychodynamic psychotherapy; Radically-Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT), and The Daring Way (tm)."

"I believe in every human's capacity for healing and growth. I work from a holistic (body-mind-spirit) framework focused on helping you drop unnecessary baggage and enhancing your awareness of present-moment needs. This allows you to respond to your environment in creative, resilience-informed ways, and to embrace your highest potential. Together, we unravel your innate emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wisdom, so you may live consciously and fully, without being bound by the past. I specialize in relationship concerns, mood and anxiety disturbances, grief, and trauma, including trauma related to unresolved childhood issues and damaging relationships."

"I help people who feel that their life is taking a back seat to their anxiety, isolation, depression, stress, self-criticism, and shame. We live in a world where we commonly criticize ourselves as a way to self-motivate, struggle against our self-doubt, and beat ourselves up for the way we feel. No wonder so many of us are anxious, depressed, stressed, and seemingly stuck. It doesn't have to be that way. If we could manage your anxiety or alleviate your depression, what could be possible for your life? My goal is to help you see that through. As a seasoned therapist, I am ready to tackle life's toughest moments with you. "

"For over 30 years, I have trained and counseled therapists, health professionals, individuals and couples to address healthy sexuality in an open and honest way. As a certified sex educator through AASECT, I bring a psycho-educational focus to work collaboratively with you to find your path to sexual health. You have the wisdom and knowledge of your sexual wants, desires and needs. I will help you communicate those wants with clarity, focus and comfort. I provide that comfortable environment to address how anxiety, past trauma, body image, shame or negative sexual messaging may impact your relationships and sexual comfort."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice, and I offer individual and family psychotherapy and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) skills classes. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and families who are seeking help with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and family/peer relationships. "

"I work with people who want better intimacy, sex, and relationships. The ways to get this are many and only limited by our creativity. I specialize in working with clients who are dealing with infidelity, communication problems, sexual differences, and other relationship challenges. I am LBGTQIA friendly, polyamory friendly, and kink friendly. "

"I believe that it is important to fully understand the etiology of a disorder so that all underlying issues may be addressed, not just the presenting problems. Further, assisting individuals in gaining insight allows them to understand what motivates their behaviors and emotions. It is not only important to treat an individual in therapy, but also teach them the psychology of drives, motives, and reactions, along with the biological and physiological aspects of behaviors."

" When you came into the world, you were enveloped in the wholeness of being. You were anchored in abundance. You were able to experience joy from simply breathing. Because you could feel your perfection, you engaged harmoniously with life. Because you dwelled in wonder, everything became a wondrous playground to explore. You delighted in all of it. Why wouldn’t you? After all, you exulted in your own being! You WERE the excitement. You could freely access this piece of heaven within you. Link to the full article in Bio. "
