Attachment-based Therapists in El Paso County, CO

Sometimes life can get pretty tricky and have us feeling stuck, unsure, and discouraged. The therapeutic journey involves taking courageous steps in order to move forward, gain self-acceptance, and reconnect with yourself in new ways. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, thus my goal in counseling is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel free to explore.

Human beings are hard-wired for connection, which is as essential for survival as food, water, and air. When a person is deprived of that connection it creates bondage that can be crushing, robbing us of the freedom we were created to enjoy. My clinical experience includes trauma, attachment issues, adoption, parenting, marriage, family conflict, anxiety/depression, and spiritual formation.

When we grow up in dysfunctional families, we learn skills to deal with difficult situations that were helpful in the past but that may no longer serve us, like shutting down or exploding when we're upset, conflict avoidance, having trouble asking for what we want or need, people-pleasing, perfectionism, numbing with phone scrolling or substances each night...the list goes on. My ideal clients are adults who have had challenging life experiences and who are hoping to gain insight into how their pasts are impacting them in the present. I help clients to address harmful behaviors, heal from trauma, and create a beautiful life.

Taking new clients! Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or feelings of not being good enough? Do you react in ways that cause you to feel embarrassed or ashamed, but did not feel like you were in control? Do you avoid people or situations because you become too overwhelmed or anxious?

I commonly work with clients who suffer from trauma, narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, anxiety, depression, codependency, and interpersonal/attachment issues.

I am an enthusiastic, patient, and dedicated therapist. I work with clients from all backgrounds and cultures. I have many skills applicable to typical human challenges like anxiety, depression, and grief. My deeper work involves supporting clients struggling with trauma, identity, relationships, and neurodivergence. Are you struggling with self-esteem? Purpose? Painful memories?

What if our journey in life isn't meant to be a journey of proving we are enough. What if our journey is one of knowing that we always were. What if who we are, exactly how we are has always been enough; enough to be loved, to be heard, to be seen, enough to be you. Traumatic experiences have a way of making us feeling that we are irreparably broken. We carry them with us in our mind, body, and soul as we continue through our lives searching for something to fill the emptiness they left behind. To the outside world we are who we've always been, yet inside we are showing up in our lives as someone we don't even recognize.

Hi, I am Jennifer. My work with clients is transparent and holistic. My ideal client is looking to make positive changes in their and committed to personal growth and healing.

As a woman who has felt disempowered from past trauma and shame, I'm passionate about working with women to achieve greater self-worth and confidence and embrace their authentic self. I find joy in helping people heal from past trauma, transform limiting beliefs of shame into the truth of who they are, find meaning and purpose, and courageously tell their story.
