Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, & relationship issues. Anxiety doesn't have to be something you just live with - you can learn to manage it. Your trauma or abuse story may stem from chilchood abuse, neglect or attachment wounding, or perhpas your've been wounded spiritually or relationally as an adult. Improving your mental health can change your life, restore hope, heal emotional wounds, & move your life and relationships in the direction you desire. Counseling is a journey - sometimes tough, always rewarding - and I'd be honored to join you on yours. Christian counseling is an option if you prefer faith woven into counseling.

My desire is to bring care and compassion into the counseling relationship. I believe there is hope in breaking free from pain and fear, ultimately bringing about a life of purpose and joy. I bring with me experience in family relationships, raising children (who are now all adults), and marriage. Life in the military also brings with it the experience of instability and change in family and relationships. I believe each person has their own story to tell and that ultimately, healing is possible.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a sacred space. I desire that clients can come into each session and be themselves. It is important to me that therapy isn’t just serious but that there are moments of laughter as well. Therapy is a journey of ups and downs, and each individual deserves guided support along the way for a fruitful experience. Each person has a different story that is worth sharing and is possible to rewrite. Sessions are for the client, and I work to be flexible and creative to create an experience that is catered to your needs and desires.

Our life’s journey begins the moment our heart begins to beat. Our path is marked by significant people and experiences impacting our attachment, mindset, and worldview. Some are positive and some are painful, both leaving a lasting impression that reflect in our identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. I seek to walk alongside my clients as they find meaning in those relationships and experiences. I am considerate of the story my clients have to tell and offer a compassionate space to meet them where they are, and offer an authentic therapeutic relationship.

Humans were created with three parts - spirit, soul, and body. How we navigate those three areas will, in large, determine our current functioning and overall journey. Anxiety, significant life decisions, relationships, trauma, and other issues can be overwhelming. Mental health therapy can help equip us, bring understanding, and navigate each of our three parts.

Other focuses of mine are women going through parenting challenges and life transitions and college students and their life transitions.

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." In today's world, people can be ambushed by any number of experiences that can leave us drained, exhausted, and feeling like it's hard to move forward. Counseling can be an outlet for individuals to sort through what they're feeling, and get perspective, and assistance, and most of all, a certainty that someone is listening; that your voice is being heard.

As an attachment-focused child therapist, I work primarily with children and young adults with their parents. Many feel stuck in a negative pattern of conflict, defiance, and anger.

Connecting with clients on a deep level is absolutely vital as a therapist. I take pride in getting to know YOU personally, and tend to take more of a coaching role throughout therapy. Our sessions together are all about your journey, no issue is too big or small. My specialty and first therapeutic love is working with couples. I believe that all couples have the ability to get back to the honeymoon phase--and stay there. I also LOVE working with couples in the pre-marital/pre-engagement phase. I consider it an honor to give engaged couples a safe place to work through the kinks before embarking on their great journey together!

I am passionate about championing my clients regardless of the reason that counseling is being sought out. I feel honored to be allowed into your story, to provide a listening ear & a supportive environment for emotional growth & healing. I enjoy working with individuals desiring to change their lives or their outlook on life. I am also committed to helping couples improve their communication, connection, & intimacy, and believe that building a strong marital relationship is the foundation for life & family. I desire to support, encourage, & challenge my clients as they move towards their goals.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling from anxiety, depression, and/or the effects of past trauma. I work best with clients who are open to accepting their own responsibility to change, and are ready to recover control of their own life from the things which have held them back from how they want to live. I have a special passion and training to work with those who have undergone spiritual abuse/trauma, which is any harmful use of power and control experienced within a faith tradition. If you're recovering from this, or just want to sort out what you believe and why without judgment, I would love to help!

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether an adult, young adult or adolescent, there is no one like you, you are unique. Understanding and acknowledge your story empowers you to move forward toward your goals. I am passionate about helping adults, young adults and adolescents boldly live their story by helping them come to a place of emotional, spiritual, physical resilience and wellness.
