Women's Issues Therapists in Broomfield, CO

It's time to make a lasting change, to get real and heal. Your life is too important. I help individuals unravel the complex stories of their lives. Life is full of twists and turns that pull us from our center, creating overwhelm and distress. Limiting beliefs picked up from childhood color our responses to loved ones and ourselves. We engage in behaviors that are disconnected from the person we really want to be. This feels awful.

We are living in a time of uncertainty, and for many, fear is a part of our every day lives. The healing and answers we seek go beyond band-aid approaches or comforting words. To heal our wounds, and live with the realities of life's unpredictability, we need all of us. And you need all of you, together, and whole. As you access a visceral awareness of your body and listen to your intuitive heart, your healing begins. Tapping into your mind’s creativity to unearth internal wisdom and external resources, all your parts together can mend traumatic injuries and weave together a new path.

*IN-STATE TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE* You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship. The problems in your relationship feel stuck, like they're just not going anywhere. You find yourself and your partner getting upset and reacting in the same old unhelpful ways over and over, but just don't know how to find your way back to authentic, loving intimacy. You're scared there might not be a way back. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can reclaim the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing, and find a way out of the same old fights and back into being in love.

Healthy relationships begin with you. When you have a full plate you may feel irritable and exhausted and that you and your relationships need some TLC. You may feel resentful and/or angry and you may not know why or you may be unclear about what to do about it. You may be listening and living your life according to your inner critic, which can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and never feeling good enough instead of loving yourself and having the freedom to be who you are truly meant to be. Your ways of coping may be keeping you hanging on by a thread, but they also may be causing you pain and not addressing underlying forces.

When we live our lives on the emotional rollercoaster, it's entirely understandable to feel deep fatigue. Dealing with the uncertainty can be a feat all of its' very own. You see friends, coworkers and neighbors seemingly making lemonade out of lemons, you yearn to do the same...but, something has been nagging at you. Feeling reflective, you know that there is an another path calling you...a path revealing authenticity & joy. You know in your heart its there and possible but, have no idea where to start and/or have had a few false starts. Guess what...you are right! No more wondering starts today - choose YOU!

I consider it a privilege to walk along side of you as you heal from trauma, navigate relational challenges, and balance life transitions.

Pregnancy and postpartum life can feel daunting, lonely, and overwhelming. The expectations put onto mothers to feel "overjoyed" and have their sh!t together often leaves new or expectant moms feeling shamed into silence that "something must be wrong with me" for feeling afraid, lost, depressed, or missing their old self/life/relationship with their partner. This is the most vulnerable time in a person's life. You are not crazy. It is hard. You get to make your well being a priority. In addition to perinatal clients, I also love working with teens struggling with suicidal thoughts and supporting them in the intensity of teen life.

It takes courage to seek support, so I take that to heart when working with people of diverse histories and needs. Perhaps you have had depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, life transitions, or other stress that you are ready to heal. I work most effectively with clients willing to look into themselves and their lives with both depth and compassion. If you are seeking an approach that is holistic, integrative, trauma-informed, and empowering, we may be a good fit for counseling. My intention is to help you find your own inner capacities to heal, grow, transform, evolve, learn, and become.

My passion is working with clients in transition. I specialize in counseling women of menopausal age who are facing situations like aging parents, adult sibling relationships, emancipating children and career transitions. For women in this stage of life there might be a sense of invisibility and devaluation. It is often challenging to navigate these situations in isolation and because of the complex relational history there can be a sense of overwhelm with emotional triggers. How would it be if this were a time of mastery and empowerment?

Are you struggling with your relationships, depression, anxiety, and past trauma? Perhaps you have experienced sexual abuse in your past and you are having trouble with current relationships. Are you a juvenile who has committed a sexual offense? Counseling can help. I use EMDR, it is a type of therapy that can be done to address those memories and clear a path to a happier, healthier you. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a therapy that can help people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Here is a link to a video to introduce you to EMDR: https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY

The cycles of overwhelm, internalized aggression, and self-abandonment are not solitary experiences - they happen as complex responses to trauma, stress, depression, grief, and disconnect. Whether you are struggling with addiction, life transitions, or any challenging pattern, the impulse to escape the present moment can influence a painful cycle of suffering. In the process of reclaiming the self, we cannot approach healing on a solely cognitive level. Every aspect of the collective self holds the wounds and wisdom that, if honored in mutual regard, can guide an individual towards profound growth.

Welcome! I am thrilled you’re here, taking the first courageous step towards seeking support. I am here to help. You may be feeling pain and needing emotional support, or simply having a desire to gain clarity and a sense of direction in your life. You may not be sure exactly what you need, but know that something needs to shift. A caring and knowledgable therapist can help with these important explorations.

Life does not always go according to plan. We experience many things that are outside of our control, but they leave a lasting impact on us as human beings. Life is a journey that is not meant to be walked alone, but instead in relationships and with vulnerability and openness. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills and resources to process and navigate life's everyday challenges. Asking for help and finding someone to share your burden with is a great show of strength and courage! For the quickest response please visit my web page and fill out a contact form.

I will provide individual, couples and family therapy to anyone seeking guidance. Regardless of your concerns, I will provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to address your needs so that you can find a new perspective that will help you. When I provide couples counseling I begin with learning about you as a couple why you were attracted to each other. Then we work together to figure out what got lost that brought you to seek out counseling. I am a Level 2 PACT therapist, based on the teachings of Dr. Stan Tatkin.

You may feel trapped in a violent and/or unhealthy relationship or traumatic memories of the past. Your may be grieving a loss and what might have been. You may feel stagnant and that your life is out of balance. Possibly you are a family member of an offender and you don't understand the "system" and how to help while taking care of yourself. Likely you are feeling isolated and alone. Overwhelming emotions may be paralyzing you, making it hard to move forward. You will find a safe place with me to move through and beyond this difficult time. You do not have to struggle alone.
