I believe that the power of therapy lies in the process – in uncovering histories, identifying patterns, and finding new perspectives. I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by increasing insight into those struggles and learning to embrace emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. My hope as your therapist is that you'll leave with a strong sense of self and healing, with direction on how to be the person you want to be moving forward.

This human life is NOT easy, and is often full of pain! At the same time, I deeply believe that when equipped with the right tools, each individual has the potential to create a vibrant and personally meaningful life. I am passionate about empowering my clients to make the changes they wish to see in their day-to-day lives. I have been trained in a wide variety of empirically-supported treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I work with adult clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety or depressive disorders, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, and chronic pain.

About me: I specialize in women's issues, trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. About you: You are intelligent, sensitive, and high-functioning. You appear to others as though you have it all together, but inside, something's not working. Perhaps this manifests physically, as insomnia or chronic tension. Sometimes it's more internal: anxiety or depression, indecision, heaviness, or an inability to move past a traumatic event. You seek answers to life's biggest questions, but sometimes have trouble hearing your own inner wisdom. You wish to feel more ease, more clarity, more connection, more meaning.

Adjusting to new changes, or healing after a difficult experience can be exhausting and terrifying. When these changes or difficult experiences happen, they often leave us feeling fragile, wounded, angry, or out of place. Many people begin experience anxiety, depression, questioning their self-worth, trouble managing emotions, substance dependence, or difficulty with relationships. If you are experience any of these symptoms, please know that you are not alone, and that healing is possible.

I practice from a heart-center place and trust that we can all heal. If you're struggling, it can change. My support is trauma-informed and I support those with depression and anxiety, those working through life transitions, relationship struggles, grief and loss, personal empowerment, and integration of spiritual and altered-state experiences. If you are seeking to have a more peace in your day-to-day life, to better manage your emotional experience, and to relate to yourself and others with more understanding I will help you reach your desired goals. Please call me directly at 720-514-9677 or go to awakeningpeacecounseling.com.

Here at Whole Connection, we believe that a healing relationship is the most important part of therapy. This connection allows each client to safely explore and create the changes and healing they are striving for. Our therapists support clients working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, identity exploration, and a variety of other challenges that can arise in everyday life. We often work individually, with couples, or in a group setting to help our clients build the skills they need to work through and remain resilient in difficult times.

My clinical style includes meeting you where you are at in your unique life experiences (i.e.; stress, change, depression, etc.) then helping you make sense of your problems in a meaningful way while also learning tangible coping skills and discovering creative solutions. My work is infused with curiosity and I'm dedicated to the process of unfolding our full potential, through the life phases. I cater to what is ready to be consciously explored, healed and transformed. My foundation is in evidenced based practices and other eclectic modalities as appropriate (see below for more details).

Thanks for taking some time to see if we might be a good fit. For over a decade I have been working with survivors of trauma. I am trained in EMDR, hypnosis, and family constellation to help alleviate the symptoms of trauma that manifest physically. In our treatments you will have options to learn yoga, mindfulness, and qi-gong. You can also choose to incorporate acupuncture, a modality that regulates the vagus nerve, and relaxes the parasympathetic nervous system, so you don't always have to "talk" about it. My approach is somatic and soft. Please reach out for a free 20 minute call if you have any questions.

I work with clients who are experiencing problems that are typically long-standing, repetitive, and significantly interfering with their life. Some examples would include unsatisfying or unstable relationships, history of anxiety and depression, feeling they can't "be seen" or get their needs met, and living with emotional pain, chronic shame and disconnection from self. Client's often want to explore the impact of their early life and development, or focus on increasing their self-esteem and wellbeing, and many want to gain a deeper understanding of their patterns. Psychotherapy is an effective way to heal and live courageously.

If you're struggling, I want you to know it doesn't have to be so hard, and you don't have to go it alone. Together we can begin to understand and cope with emotions and situations which can seem overwhelming. Relationships can create such powerful movement in our lives, and offer real hope. I share a profound respect for your choice to begin therapy, and will provide a non-judgmental space to express yourself. Anxiety, loss, transition -- often these struggles give us opportunity to grow and deepen our knowledge of ourselves.

Do you struggle with connecting? Have difficulties with men? Or want healthier relationships. Through training on attachment, trauma therapy, and building a healthy relationship with you I aim to repair old relationships so you can have the ones you want going forward. I also work with people going through tough transitions in life. This could be time of life, coming out of intensive therapy previously or intense family dynamics. This could mean we are working on early attachments, relationships with men, or traumas that have greatly impacted you. I aim to work with those who want to feel seen or who have had trouble connecting.

Your incredible potential as a human being is the single most valuable thing on earth. Your ability to love, heal, and grow is unmatched. So often we find ourselves trapped by overwhelming emotions, traumatizing experiences, and impossible expectations. Adolescence is an especially difficult season of life transition and change, one that I am honored to provide guidance for when needed. My job is to come along side you and help you find the freedom you were designed for.

Feeling more tired than usual, wondering how you are going to make it through the day? Are you frustrated with trying to achieve things you feel you should be able to do, but somehow can’t? Do you have thoughts and feelings of anxiety, anger, betrayal, shame, grief, or humiliation log jammed in your mind? You wish life could be better, but you can’t seem to find the path there on your own, even after doing your best. What if you could clear the log jam? Be kinder to yourself? Feel part of the world?

Deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating! Maybe you've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time, or maybe something happened to you that you need space to process, with some guidance. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Regardless, our job together once you walk into the room is to figure out how I can best help. It's okay if you don't know what that looks like, yet. That's part of my job!

Know Thyself was the ancient prescription for a meaningful life, and I believe it still holds true today. To understand our needs, potentials, and limitations gives us the courage to confront our challenges and the wisdom to learn and grow from them. I offer a compassionate and down-to-earth approach to therapy, partnering with clients to discover unconscious patterns that interfere with satisfaction in work, health, relationships, and creativity. I believe that symptoms arise when vital parts of our personalities have been denied; thus depression, anxiety, addiction, and chronic illness may be voices of the deeper self trying to be heard.

We provide expert advice, education and guidance to individuals and families seeking to learn more about how to use digital media in a healthy, effective manner, as well as to those who are in the depths of addiction. We specialize in the common co-existing issues found alongside or underneath digital media overuse/addiction, such as anxiety, isolation, depression, academic challenges and failure, inability to obtain or keep employment, lying and deceitful behavior, as well as, aggressive and acting out behaviors.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.
