Therapists in Green Mountain Falls, CO

Distressing symptoms in the present often are from situations in the past which when addressed people report feeling free in the present to become their authentic selves and accomplish their goals. I wanted to become better prepared and so studied beyond basic EMDR training to become a Certified EMDR Therapist with the International Association (EMDRIA). Primarily I work with veterans, adults, young adults and seniors that struggle with past unresolved trauma or distress, PTSD, over reactions, anger, depression, anxiety and fear, impulsivity, low self esteem and confidence, emotional mood swings, as well as aging issues.

I've been working with children since 1987. I began as a first grade teacher, Pre-K teacher and then yoga instructor. After raising my children, I received my master's degree in mental health counseling. My passion is helping families live more functionally. I am keenly aware of the challenges that occur for children during and after divorce. I specialize in helping children of parent's in high conflict divorces. I utilize a variety of techniques tailored to meet your child's needs.

My primary interest is to be a catalyst for positive change in your life and to help you work through the individual challenges that keep you from experiencing the kind of life you desire and deserve.

Whenever possible, I like to help you early-on to assist you in establishing your vision for the future, then we will work together in making that a reality.

My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to offer professional care on a personal level to clients in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park. My focus is on working with individuals, families and couples from all walks of life that are open to learning and growing. If you are struggling with shame or frustrated that things seem to be beyond your control, then I would like to help you discover what can help you find freedom. Whether the barrier is depression, anxiety, addiction, sexual issues in your relationship, or establishing healthy boundaries, there is hope and freedom.

YOU ARE WORTH IT! There is hope. I am passionate about assisting couples/families and individuals with finding peace and working towards positive change. I am an integrative psychotherapist, working from a compassionate, strength-based perspective. The foundation of effective therapy is a strong, connected therapeutic relationship. I believe it is my role as a therapist to approach this alliance with warmth and open-mindedness to help provide you with a safe, nonjudgemental space.

My role is to create a safe enough environment for you to be your authentic self, first in therapy and then showing up authentically with those around you. Because no person is an island and most interact with others everyday, therapy can help you transition out of social awkwardness and isolation into enriched and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I have been promoting mental health professionally since 1998. I value ethical conduct, accessible pricing, effective interventions, and practical methods in psychotherapy practice.

Let this be the moment you commit to changing your life—to resolve your mental-emotional issues, move through your blocks, and start manifesting the life you want.

It is my privilege to assist my clients in their journey. In addition to the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects, I assist my clients in learning to perform in their personal and social relationships and careers. I specialize in working with athletes and other performers.

HOPE is the passion for what is possible - I am passionate about assisting couples, families, and individuals to explore hopeful change. My goal is to provide you with a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore your path to living your best life. I became a counselor due to my own personal experiences as a military veteran. Finding hope in a constantly changing world can be intimidating; you do not have to face these challenges alone.

It takes courage to call and yet we are here to walk with you during your trying times and help you find the inner peace, joy, and success you deserve!

I believe most problems we experience are caused by a combination of two factors; carrying around too much from the past, and not taking good care of ourselves. The symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse can all manifest from not cleaning up the past and from practicing poor self care in in the present. Using a variety of approaches including, Psychotherapy, Hypnosis, EMDR, and Process Work, we will together to shift this balance. As people get better at nurturing themselves and begin to let go of the weight of the past, they feel better.

If you are seeking to resolve small inner challenges, make major changes to your life, or just adjust to a new normal, I would be honored to be part of your journey to a healthier life!
