Couples Counseling Therapists in Arvada, CO

I believe much of therapy is a journey of coming home to one’s truest self, by both uncovering what has been and cultivating something new. My intention is to ultimately support clients in creating a more connected and deepened relationship with themselves and their lives. Together, we will sit in the space of exploration creating more awareness of the past and present, empowering you with choice for the journey ahead. I approach healing primarily through the following therapeutic models:

I'm honored to work with people in the midst of difficult times. I am skilled in building collaborative relationships with my clients to access their integrity, perseverance and authentic presence to address problems ranging from the everyday to the existential. I provide individualized care rather than “one size fits all” therapy. Let's work together to move towards greater feelings of aliveness.

Being a human is not easy! Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, uncertain, struggling, unfulfilled, lost, or broken, I am here to support you on your unique journey. The therapy relationship is a place where you are accepted exactly as you are, so together we can find ways to nurture your inner sources of healing and growth. My goal is to support your ability to increase self-awareness and compassion in order to shift your habitual ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating, so we can discover the tools and insights to help you live a life that feels meaningful to you. Inner and outer change are possible!

All change involves loss. All loss involves change. Even those changes we choose, can be challenging and maybe painful. Yet in nearly all situations, we have the power to choose how we respond. “Every choice we make takes us closer to or further from where we want to be.” Whether the choice has to do with some exciting possibility or tragedy and trauma from illness, death, assault or a failing relationship , it’s all about our choices. Helping people decide where they want to be, and evaluating whether their choices take them closer to or further from that destination, is what my practice is about.

Most of my clients live in fear around how much food they eat or do not eat. Their relationship with food has evolved into one of pain and hiding versus pleasure and health. I use a Gestalt approach which gives voice to a person's conflicting two parts: the part wanting to hold onto the eating disorder and its benefits, and the part wanting to let go for permanent growth and healing. Clients ultimately can reach a place where they discover choice, freedom and inner peace.

I have 25 years of clinical experience. In the last 18 years I have been focusing on women's issues, particularly issues around motherhood such as: perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, fertility, miscarriage and loss as well as transition and adjustment concerns. I also address issues of depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, serious illness and trauma. I consider myself a christian counselor and believe that a persons religious and/or spiritual beliefs can be an asset in making changes and moving forward.

Are you confused about why you are feeling the way you are feeling? Do you wish things were different? Are you feeling disconnected from others or yourself? Current neuroscience and research tells us that about 90 to 95 percent of the way we think, feel, and act is unconscious and automatic. In my practice, I help people understand why they are acting, feeling, and thinking they are so they can begin change their internal reality. I partner with my client’s to educate and empower them to understand themselves better so they can begin to live more intentionally and pursue their passions in meaningful ways.

There comes a time in life when you need additional support...specifically, professional support from someone who not only has therapeutic experience but also has significant life experience. Over the years, I have helped many people discover real relief, peace, resilience, strength and healing that comes from facing and processing unimaginable pain due to the loss of a loved one, a relationship , trauma or episodes of anxiety. I help people address the "yuk" in their lives and transform their pain as they develop a new life narrative that is full of meaning, perspective and hope. Let me help you discover your better tomorrow!

Life can be difficult. At times our burdens take up what feels like too much space and energy in our day-to-day lives. Certain people might have an inordinate amount of sway over how you feel in a day (even when you don’t interact!). You might find yourself feeling negative, hypervigilant, or completely shut down. Perhaps you find yourself going back to certain memories you’d rather stop revisiting. These struggles are not due to a lack of personal strength or resilience on your part – they simply reveal that you are human, with human experiences and needs. And as a human, you have the right to ask for help when you need it.

I help women of all ages heal from loss, grief and trauma. Are you feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, exhausted or lonely? If so, you have come to the right place. You may have gone through a traumatic experience in the past that continues to impact your daily life and relationships, and wonder how you'll overcome these wounds. You may feel anxious, and wonder how to cope with this new anxiety. You may feel the most depressed and lonely you have ever felt before, and wonder how you'll find happiness again. You may feel trapped in a relationship that is controlling, and wonder how you'd leave this relationship .

Relationships evoke our deepest longings and fears, and touch on wounds that may have been long hidden, wounds which we’ve often lived a lifetime without recognizing. The pain of disconnection we feel in relationships, the heated arguments and periods of distance or alienation, can leave us lost and confused, stuck in emotional knots, with our desire for closeness vying against our protective reactions. Cycles of conflict may escalate, and with them, the pain. All the while, deep down, we quietly long to share ourselves more honestly and fully with those whom we are closest to.

I believe wholeheartedly in the power of families and relationships. When our relationships are thriving we can feel at our best, but when there is tension, loss of trust, trouble communicating, or just something missing we can feel lost, angry, or hopeless. My hope is to help you find joy, strength, and healing and am committed to helping you reach your potential.
