Attachment-based Therapists in Castle Rock, CO

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.

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.

My mission is to guide children, parents and families towards an increase in strength and resiliency. Teaghlach (pronounced /chye-lukh/) means family in Irish Gaelic. Family is a subjective term, meaning there is no “normal” when it comes to identifying what a family means to you. Strength and resiliency comes from families of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are looking for support for your child dealing with anxiety, behavior or self-esteem, or for yourself, individually or along with your partner, to grow in your relationships and skills, I hope that you find Teaghlach Counseling to be the support your family is looking for.

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!

We believe that while life is not free from storms, there can be peace amidst the storm. Getting to that peace, we sometimes need to explore current or past experiences, overwhelming feelings and fears in order to live a life in freedom. We value your courage as you look into counseling and we offer a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore, heal and grow. Our therapists excel at authentic listening, compassion and empowerment. We are passionate about journeying alongside you so that you may live a life of hope, freedom and truth.

I believe you have the power and potential for healing already within you. We all do. The trenches of hopelessness, anxiety, rage, confusion, shame, loss and depression are an overwhelming place. Experiencing those things can make us feel isolated and alone. Yet we are wired for connection and belonging with other people. We aren’t built to move through the hardest parts of life on our own. That’s where I come in. You don't have to do this alone. If you will allow me to walk alongside you we can find a place of healing and joy.

Do you feel like living in a constant state of stress, anxiety, fear, burnout, and depression become your baseline of functioning? Perhaps you've tried everything to change this and you're still feeling overstimulated and disconnected from your body - and desire inner peace, feeling safe to be in your body, and a more connected way of being in the world. There is nothing wrong with you, you've adapted to survive in impossible environments. As an embodiment-based, relational, and integrative therapist. I guide you as you re-connect with and embody your authentic self through acceptance, compassion, and curiosity.

You love your partner, but you don't feel understood- communication has broken down. You've lost intimacy. The same fight is happening over and over- "will it ever get better?" You're planning your wedding or just married and realized you're not always on the same page- "are we prepared for this?" You're a woman struggling to manage all the hats you wear and you're running on fumes- "does anyone notice me? when will I get to care for me?" You're preparing for baby or a new mom filled with anxiety- "am I enough?" Your dream of becoming a parent gets further and further away with every loss- "will it ever be my turn?"

I aim to come alongside you in your journey towards self-expression, acceptance, healing, and empowerment. I specialize in experienced trauma in adolescents/teens. Together, we can find balance and acceptance as you become the best version of yourself.

I would love to help you experience freedom in your life and to truly love who you are. I provide a safe place where you can share about your hurts and pains and talk through any dynamics in your life. I help women and teens who are struggling with everyday pressures, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, pregnancy and postpartum and past/present traumas that are still plaguing their lives.

I am not here to fix you, nor am I here to help you eradicate parts of yourself that you don’t like. I will share pieces of my knowledge, education and training throughout our work together.

What you choose to take from the therapeutic experience is entirely up to you. I am honored to work alongside my clients as they work to discover ways to see themselves through a lens of compassion and love in order to provide freedom just to BE.

Living in a time of unknowns and overwhelm can be difficult to navigate. Anxiety, depression and trauma can be triggered during this season of unrest and unknowns. There are so many challenges in our world, and we are asked to remain distant from our work, our friends and our connections. You can STILL CONNECT and experience caring, quality therapy at enCOURAGE Counseling. I offer online therapy, including EMDR, for teens, couples, and individuals who are needing support with anxiety, depression and trauma. Therapy is a powerful way to connect with yourself and discover ways to find hope, peace and empowerment. You are not alone.

I love coming alongside families, couples, and individuals in their journey of wholeness and healing.

Anger, resentment, loneliness. What happened? This was not the plan. It was supposed to be different…better. The desire for relief from the hurt evokes thoughts of escape. But, if you follow that path the price-tag for everyone seems too great! But the fact is, this relationship isn’t working. The thought “I can’t keep doing this” is coming more often. Things need to change, but how? After trying everything else, nothing’s really better. It feels hopeless. Yet, the truth is, it’s not hopeless. Many couples go through similar difficulties and struggles, and there is help that can heal and restore your relationship.

I have a passion for creating a non-judgmental safe space where people feel comfortable, supported, accepted and validated. It is my goal to meet you where you are and work collaboratively with you, to help you take positive life-changing steps towards a life worth living. I am also here to support you on your journey to finding your true authentic seIf, helping you move from surviving to thriving. I have two locations of practice: True To Heart Counseling (currently virtual) and Promise Ranch Therapies and Recreation (in person/animal assisted).

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.

Sex Positive & Kink Allied - Sometimes we can be surprised by our thoughts and dreams. Thoughts are not actions. Thoughts are indications that our mind has something it may need to explore. It is my belief that ignoring our thoughts are what usually land us in troublesome situations. Usually, if we explore our thoughts, no matter how odd they may be, we find there is something positive that our mind is trying to ask for but doesn't know how. You are welcome here to explore ideas.
