Hello and welcome to my page! I am happy you decided to stop and read through my profile to see if I can help you through your personal journey you are on. Life can be overwhelming and stressful even in happy moments. We all go through numerous stages of life and different types of changes that we may need some help navigating. I am passionate about helping my clients clearly identify the issues/ concerns they're struggling with and develop a plan to appropriately and in a healthy way cope with issues either as an individual, couple, and/or family.

I approach each person with kindness, humor and curiosity. Individuals and families, from all walks of life, will find a nonjudgmental space to build relationship and explore healing, personal growth and reflection. I celebrate diversity in all its forms and welcome clients regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expansiveness, age, martial status, political belief, religion, mental or physical ability. I believe in treating everyone with compassion, respect and sensitivity.

Life’s struggles can leave us feeling lost or confused. Difficulties in relationships can make us feel trapped, hurt, or scared. However, even when things feel hopeless, we all have the potential to grow and find a new direction— individually and in our relationships. I work with individuals and couples seeking to overcome stress or anxiety in order to get something more out of life. I’ll help you tap into your natural ability to move through challenges to a more balanced and fulfilling way of living.

[not accepting new clients] Why is change so hard? Because we are often not aware of what we do or why we do it. My specialty is diving deeply into the mind and helping you experience change at a fundamental level. This requires no special knowledge or skill on your part, only willingness to explore and an openness to what you might find. Just like your body, your mind knows how to heal itself. My role is to facilitate that process. I provide a safe environment, compassionate feedback, and supportive challenge when needed. I also offer Neurofeedback to improve concentration, sleep, anxiety, and ADHD.

I have a waitlist for new clients. If you're interested in being on my waitlist, please email or call me. I work with couples, families, and individuals. My work with couples and families is based on the latest research in the fields of attachment, neurobiology, and emotion. With individual clients, I focus on evidence based cognitive- and mindfulness-based approaches to help with trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, and issues related to relationships, work, and school. I have an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Colorado State University.

**Alyssa's intern is currently taking new clients at $40/session** No matter where you're at in life, there can be a lot of challenges that increase or cause distress. From having difficulty communicating with family members to struggling with adapting to life's changes. From challenges in developing healthy peer relationships to dealing with conflict within your support group. We are all dealing with so many changes in our lives, it can become overwhelming without someone who can be non-judgmental, unbiased, and able to provide unconditional acceptance to help navigate those changes. I specialize in EMDR and adolescent therapy.

I specialize in Couples Counseling as well as 20 years working with Individual Adults. I help people develop healthy relationships with themselves and others because I believe that this provides the foundation for a meaningful life. When we interact with compassion and respect for others, including ourselves, we tend to be happy and successful. During difficult times when depression or anxiety arise, the support of a trained professional can help you learn how to become your own best resource. Please visit my website to learn more about me, my approach to therapy and the services I offer.

I am an experienced therapist with 25 years of experience working with people. I use an integrative approach which means I approach issues from a variety of perspectives which allows you to make changes in the ways that work best for you. I offer a supportive and collaborative therapy relationship in which to address your current difficulties.

My clients find that curiosity, honesty and courage are keys to exploring, understanding, and living out a meaningful life. I specialize in helping adult clients (21+) men, women and marriages - individually, couples work and customized 3-day intensives. Many often struggle in their relationships, communicating their needs, with betrayed trust (pornography, infidelity), feel overwhelmed or stuck, have personal boundary concerns, and/or have unresolved loss, grief and/or anger. Many also seek long-term recovery and healing from previous trauma and/or emotional, physical or sexual abuse. I also provide clinical LPC supervision.

*Hola. Todavía estoy aceptando nuevos clientes, pero solamente por telesalud.* As your counselor, I will work to create a space for you to feel welcomed, protected and cared for. You will find the freedom to bring your truest self: all of your joys, shame and pain. Here we will walk together-at your pace-towards a deeper understanding of yourself in order to build an authentic life. I have found my passion in working with teens and adults who find themselves in painful places, whether from traumatic experiences or from the inner voices of shame, and working together towards healing and peace.

The day begins, and you don't feel like getting out of bed. Feeling scared about what the future holds, you find yourself compromising and settling into a life you don’t really want. Trying everything you can to make life better and more fulfilling. But you feel like a failure, over and over again. Different thoughts and parts of you pull in different directions. It feels like you are operating with incomplete parts of yourself that are never enough.

It is only human to struggle with life from time to time, and in this shared experience, we are all connected. It is my philosophy as a therapist that people often hold the key to their own healing process, and my role is one of collaboration with clients to promote that change. I also believe that a strong therapeutic alliance, where clients feel safe to express themselves and be understood, can be a powerful tool to promote healing. I provide an approach that incorporates both coping strategies and skill building, all while providing empathy, support, and an interpersonal relationship focus.

I am not taking new clients at this time. The following is a description of my approach for future consideration. There are so many reasons we find ourselves feeling alone in the world. Whether you're estranged from family, socially marginalized, or just going through something unique, you are like that seed- naturally equipped with what you need for healing and growth. My job, as your therapist, is to provide a strong, healthy, professional relationship rooted in nurturing love and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma, lifelong patterns of painful crisis, and pervasive hopelessness.

Are you eating when you aren't hungry, spending more time on social media or the internet than you'd like, or drinking more than you would like? Feeling depressed, anxious, checked out, irritated, or "blah"? These are all signals that something is off. I can help you recognize the patterns that are keeping you stuck in your life. Once you are aware of these patterns of behavior, you have more power to consciously make changes and create a more fulfilling life.

It's been more than a decade since I became interested in the idea of sex addiction. It's what led me to become a counselor. Especially for those who are Mormon, Christian or otherwise religious, this addiction can eat at your well being day in and day out. If it's impacting your life, please give me a call.

You may be looking for a therapist for a variety of reasons and finding one that is a good fit is very important part of that process. Being comfortable in therapy and finding someone who can provide support, while directly addressing concerns and promoting growth is essential. I provide my clients with a supportive and enriching environment to address concerns, gain insights, and achieve real change in their life and the lives of those around them.

Life's barriers sometimes get in the way of living life as abundantly as we would like. I know that it can be hard to seek help. I would be honored to come alongside you and see if we can find a way to overcome the barriers in life. Using a holistic approach, I will listen with empathy and together identify changes to be made and how to make those changes. Moreover, we will identify other important people in your life, including other health professionals with whom coordinating care will enrich your experience.

If your life is less satisfying than you had hoped, it's time to take action. I will help you figure out what's not working and implement a plan for a more fulfilling and joyful life. My environment will give you a place to focus your energy toward positive change. Together, we will make it happen!

I view therapy as a place to safely tell your story. Each story is unique and is comprised of its own set of characters and settings. It is my privilege to explore your narrative and to bare witness to the obstacles of the past, the trials of today, and the triumphs of tomorrow. I also hope to join you in your attempt to write each new exciting chapter of your life. Together we can work to create a story that you are proud to call your own!

We all have the need to feel supported and understood when in crisis, or when life feels overwhelming. I don't think we are meant to navigate life's difficult paths alone. I encourage you to call and see how therapy could be of benefit to you with your current life circumstances. I believe we each have the innate capacity to heal, and I value and encourage the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, grief, and PTSD.
