Adoption Therapists in La Plata County, CO

As a Play Therapist and Theraplay therapist, I focus on children's social and emotional well-being. When children struggle either socially or emotionally, they are unable to learn. That is because they are not present and focused on their learning environment and what is happening in their classroom. I will help build relationships and help your child build their social and emotional skills.

I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. When appropriate, I use specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy to provide additional avenues for the expression and depth work that deep healing requires. I interweave DBT, Psychodynamic Theory and depth work to meet clients where they’re at, provide experienced containment during strenuous treatment and guide them towards a greater life worth living. My practice specializes in treating adolescents, young adults, families and group therapy.

Do you ever wonder what, exactly, is going on? Do you want to understand more about yourself and your mental health? Do you have a child struggling in school or with friendships? Many of us have questions about ourselves that range from "Why do I do this thing that keeps hurting me?" to "Do I have autism? Or ADHD? Am I depressed?" While therapy can be a helpful intervention to improve your life, knowing what you're working on is the first step to a healthier, happier version of yourself. Psychological assessment is a crucial tool to find answers without months of searching.

I am a somatic psychotherapist specializing in Womens health. The foundation of my approach to psychotherapy is in addressing the needs of the nervous system, helping clients to understand their own behavior and to improve their ability to live in their desired experience (less anxious, less depressed, more hopeful, etc.).

I am dedicated to providing women with a safe environment to process trauma, grief, loss, fears and hopes as they manage the tasks of daily life.
