Therapists in Basalt, CO

With 18 years of clinical experience, I have provided insight-oriented psychotherapy to individuals in the valley for over 13 years now. I believe it is important to carefully tailor therapy to the needs of each individual client and in cooperation with the client. My orientation is predominantly Jungian and my roots are in Depth Psychology, providing the foundation for most of my therapeutic work. Eastern contemplative psychology is also frequently integrated into the treatment. I have experience treating individuals struggling with life questions or transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse or self-esteem issues.

You are feeling anxious about many aspects of your life. You are resisting change and you don’t know where to begin to feel better. In this place and time, you face challenges that very often include the need for change. You want to examine how to make changes that reflect who you are and what you want to achieve. Yet You don’t know how to escape your stress from all the demands you face in your life, and the feelings of sadness and emptiness prevail. You want to make better choices that lead you to a life filled with more happiness and joy. You want to use your mind for better health and well-being. Let us take a gentle walk through the territory of integration of mind, body, spirit and emotions for your optimal health. In times of uncertainty and change, it’s imperative to examine each of these pieces of your wholeness and discover what transformative decisions you want to make to achieve a balance and wholeness in your life. Your desire is to rise above life’s challenges with courage, hope and humor will lead you to a better way. Your most difficult challenges can reap unexpected benefits when you choose to develop a healthy attitude.

With over 20 years as a Jungian based psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and children, I provide therapy carefully tailored to the need of each individual client in conjunction with the goals set by my clients. I often apply CBT with children and offer Neurofeedback and sand play therapy. I have successfully treated individuals struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. I am an expert witness in court on domestic violence and child abuse.

I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

Life certainly has its ups and downs and I am a firm believer in getting the support that best suits you. Therapy is for anyone who would like to feel better, experience more fulfillment, have more clarity, overcome obstacles, and grow stronger & wiser. I believe we can all benefit from taking the time to better ourselves, yet this process is different for each client. For some it might mean putting proven strategies in place to accomplish goals. For others it might include healing from past traumas in order to move past what is holding them back. Developing effective coping skills is at the foundation of it all.

I work with individuals, couples, and businesses empowering them to lead their most authentic personal and professional lives. Clients who are seeking growth and wanting support in finding tools, education and accountability have found great success in my practice. Whether we are addressing problematic areas or setting goals, my therapeutic background is supportive in building understanding and compassion for where they have been, greater clarity and connection to who they are today, and courage for the journey ahead.

I work with empowering adults, teens, couples and families with the difficult challenges that life can bring. We work together to resolve issues of confusion, lack of purpose, divorce, trauma, physical and sexual abuse, grief and loss, blended families, adoption and transitions. We can heighten your insight and awareness about how to shift into healthier, more satisfying patterns and highlight your strengths, talents and passions to create the life you desire. It takes courage to seek counseling support to make changes in your life. I respect your journey and sincere effort.
