Therapists in Castle Rock, CO

I work toward helping clients feel emotionally safe in therapy. It is very important that people feel validated, understood, accepted, and not judged for having their difficulties. I have been in private practice for over 25 years. I work with a wide variety of people, including individuals and couples. I have particular interests in helping people with depression (including Bipolar Disorder), anxiety (i.e.,panic, generalized & social anxiety, PTSD, OCD, etc), relationship difficulties, and addictions. I am a provider for numerous managed care companies, and have been on medical staffs of various hospitals for many years.

If you are able to recognize that there is a struggle that you cannot cope with alone, we should talk. You don't have to handle or "fix" it by yourself. Getting help shows strength, not weakness. You don't even have to know exactly what is wrong. Every human is unique, therefore we will work together on a specialized plan to discover how to get your needs met, help you feel better, and how to function in a more efficient, effective, and fulfilling way. Have hope, happiness is available. You just gotta be willing to work for it.

I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years. I have helped survivors of abuse and domestic violence, the LBGQT community, and adolescents. I primarily incorporate CBT but that is not the only theory I use. It depends on the needs of my clients. Recently I was trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma. ICurrently I’m only doing tele sessions. My clients range from adolescence to adult. Most of my current clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal as a counselor is to help individuals reach their full potential to lead productive successful lives based on their needs and desires

I believe we all have moments in our interpersonal lives where an outside consultant can be helpful.

Kids face all sorts of pressures, choices, challenges, and traumas in our culture today that affect the way they connect and engage with their worlds around them. It can look like anxiety, depression, behavioral acting out, emotional walling-off, etc. I work with children and families to investigate and discover what's needed to repair and rebuild the damaged or broken pieces that affect kids day to day. As a parent, you're hoping for ways to help understand what your child is going through and learn more effective ways of supporting them through the hard places so that your family can find its sense of peace, love, and connection.

Relationships are the most important things in life. They provide safety, security, support, physical health, sense of purpose and companionship. Are you in a relationship feeling lonely, distressed or unhappy? When our relationship isn't working, our whole Self suffers and every aspect of our life is affected. Do you want to work through your issues to safe connection, unconditional acceptance, and warm contentment? No matter the level of distress in your relationship(s), from "something is a little off" to grave breaches of trust, counseling can move you from despair and hopelessness to the Self and relationship you long for.

As a counselor, I am passionate and dedicated to connecting with people to assist them through any challenges they may be facing. I embrace the strong belief that individuals need to hold a focus on healing rather than not feeling. My approach involves bringing those feelings and memories we try to avoid to the front of our consciousness to process and heal from them in more appropriate and healthy ways. I enjoy working with adults that stem from a variety of backgrounds. In individual, couple, and group settings, I offer a safe, caring, and compassionate environment for all individuals seeking support.

I specialize in anxiety, depression and stress counseling for adults and teens. My approach uses Buddhist psychology, ideas from yoga, mindfulness and mind-body perspectives to help people "befriend" their minds, control their thoughts and develop a stable sense of inner peace and calm.

I believe the therapeutic experience should be one of finding clarity, feeling heard, and being empowered. Therapy should not be a place where you are told you are broken and need to be fixed. I’ll encourage your own curiosity and non-judgement, even (especially) toward the things that you might not like about yourself. I am also honored to work alongside my clients as they work to discover ways to look at themselves through a lens of compassion and love in order to provide freedom to just BE. Come as you are.

I help children (8-12), adolescents (13-17), and young adults break the stigmas of mental health during their journey through therapy. I work to break barriers of communicating thoughts and feelings while educating on coping skills that uniquely work for each client. I help bring awareness to mental health, while instilling confidence and hope in those I am serving.

As a young adult, I was haunted by a foggy knowing that I could feel less empty, irritable, overwhelmed, and stressed in my body and mind. More clear and relaxed in connection to myself and everyone around me. This foggy knowing led me to study psychology, so I could find my remedy and this learning led me to become a therapist so I could help folks find theirs. Part of what I've learned so far, is there are aspects of our culture, which encompasses our ways of being, thinking, feeling, that get in the way of accessing our remedy, our self-at best.

I am currently a prelicensed therapist with Cerebral and I have been with them for a year and a half.

Life can be tough or overwhelming at times. It is only natural to shut down, become numb or lash out at others. You can regain the vitality and joy. Find the courage it takes to work it through. Together we can create a safe environment to explore, uncover and rebuild your authentic self. Pain is inevitable. Attempting to avoid pain creates suffering. Facing it builds courage, strength and resilience. Choose your life!
