Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Broomfield, CO

I love working with the go-getters and trailblazers of the world! Academic women in STEM, Gifted & Talented individuals, entrepreneurs, people who don't quite fit in with society, misunderstood adolescents- to name a few. I help people to rise above toxic stress, and live more fulfilled lives. My main specialty is healing the effects of toxic stress and anxiety. I use cutting edge tools rooted in brain science that rewire neural connections in the brain to help people no longer be held back by old patterns, negative thoughts, and self-doubt. This approach has long lasting results, and takes less effort to maintain over time.

Are you ready to finally find out who you are? To break down the wall and connect to the world around you? To live without those painful memories that dug their claws into your mind? Trauma can affect everything: your humanity, your identity, your ability to cope. My clients often experience daily anxiety, frequent depression, nightmares, poor memory, emotional ups and downs, and a near-constant sense of dread. Worst of all, they feel like they don’t know themselves and can’t relate to other people.

Wow, the last couple years have been way harder than we could have imagined. Stress, burnout, depression, and anxiety have been everyday experiences. I get how juggling all that life throws at us can seem daunting and sometimes fill us with thoughts and feeling that we don't want to, or cannot, manage alone. You have taken a courageous step in coming here to find support. I can help you find your balance and support you along the path towards what you find most valuable and fulfilling.

Are you in a season of deep realizations and wanting to radically transform your life? Do you feel a longing for something more and still not feel satisfied? Perhaps your romantic relationships are not panning out as you'd hoped, or your search for meaning in life has come up short. Pandemic stress and burnout add to the pile, and you may be feeling stuck, desperate, or hopeless. If you are tired of the black and white and want to learn to surf the gray area of your unique thoughts, feelings, and desires as a life partner, business person, friend, and spiritual being, I would be honored to help you on your journey of integration.

"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to."-Brene Brown. I whole heartedly believe that healing occurs when we invite others to step into our story and walk along side us in times of struggle, hurt, and unknown. Because of this, I consider it an honor and privilege to be able to join you in your search for healing and wholeness. Although I am equipped to work with individuals in any stage of life I am especially passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults struggling with anything from anxiety and depression to trauma and self discovery.

My approach is relationship based and experiential, and encourages you to take responsibility for the focus of each session. I help you illuminate current patterns of behavior, create opportunities to step out of your comfort zone, and increase self-awareness in order for you to make the choices you want for your life. I also help people deepen trust and connection in their personal relationships. My personal philosophy is rooted in Gestalt, Family Systems , Emotional Development, and Transpersonal theories. I also offer Equine-assisted psychotherapy. Working with horses can take us deeper into healing, awareness, and growth.

You can change. Sometimes accepting help, as scary as it may be, is the first step.

Whether just starting, or at some other stage of therapy, most of my clients have issues and concerns related to trauma, PTSD, chronic shame, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relational difficulties, grief, anger, emotional pain and unhappiness. What most clients want is resolution, relief, and freedom, along with a new, integrated perspective and deeper meaning about their lives.

On one hand you want to be reading this, on the other you do not, but a loss has brought you here. Feeling Lost? Confused? Hopeless and overwhelmed? Feeling alone and that nobody understands your experience? So much loss. Do you feel as if your world has collapsed around you? Unable to move forward and feel stuck? Do you find yourself reaching for your beloved pet, only to remember she is gone? Do you come home and pick up the phone and then remember your loved one has died and will not answer. ? We can work together to help you bridge from what was, to where you are now and want to be.

I specialize in working with children and teenagers and have over 8 years experience working with ages 3+ and their families. When your child/teen comes to therapy, they will learn the skills needed to cope with difficult emotions, overcome challenges with relationships, and build self-esteem. I utilize a multitude of different approaches to working with your kid including art, play, sandtray, nature, and talk therapies. I also provide evidence-based and highly effective therapies such as IFS for working with adults seeking to overcome challenges in their lives or seeking help with parenting.

Let’s admit it, life is hard, and with these difficulties come suffering. Seeking counseling for this suffering is sometimes a very scary and difficult endeavor. I admire your bravery in seeking help, and pride myself on providing a non-judgmental, accepting, and comfortable space to explore and work on these struggles together. I approach therapy through a person-centered approach. This simply means- therapy is for you. We will work together on exploring what you want out of therapy, what you need each session, and what is and isn’t working for you.

I promote improvement in my client's quality of life related to moods, relationships & sense of purpose. I approach clients where they are in their lives, relationships & moods in a manner that is accepting and encouraging. I believe people are their own best resource for understanding their present state, how they have arrived there, & having resilience to heal & move toward their goals. When clients are very stuck in negative moods, behaviors & relational patterns, I help them engage these through mindfulness, emotionally-focused & trauma healing therapies, which are based on understanding natural processes of healing & growth.

You feel like you've done everything you can do, but you still feels stuck. Are you desperate for this anxious or depressed feeling to go away? Do you feel stuck by a fear or consumed by a loss that you thought for sure you would be over by now? Regardless of your age, the meaning you make from these questions impacts how you live your life. Therapy can awaken the soul, refine purpose, empower the healing process in relationships, and point to truth in the value of who you are. It's time to thrive and not just survive.

You’re in your head. Literally processing everything -all day, every day- from your relationships to your work-life. You’re always overthinking, over-analyzing… each conversation and replaying every interaction in your mind. A never-ending loop of anxious thoughts spins through your mind. These thoughts distract you from living your life. You try to do self-care, but you can’t seem to get any relief. Instead, you feel overwhelmed with fear, guilt, and confusion. Self-doubt consumes you. It’s exhausting endlessly second-guessing yourself. Your fear and insecurities overpower you and they’re taking over your life. You feel lost.

As a therapist I believe in creating a calm space that allows for processing and growth. This in addition to addressing any underlying barriers to one's full potential in a way that respects where a person is right in the moment. Also I strive for a space that is mindful of honoring social, cultural, economic and spiritual differences and likenesses that focus on growth.
