Eating Disorders Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Building and living a life that we feel has meaning, laughter, & connection is not easy. When we don't have these things life can feel unpredictable, unsafe, & hard to face. I believe that on a human level we all want to feel like we matter, have purpose,& other humans who understand us. I have experienced feeling like my life was not worth continuing & a counselor supported me in creating a life that I am proud of. This is where much of my passion comes from to support others in doing the same. I have been supporting others for over 10 years to learning how to foster healthy relationships, coping skills, communication, & self love.

Do you find yourself stuck with thoughts like, “It’s okay if other people make mistakes, but not me,” or questions like, “Am I enough..?” These painful stories we tell ourselves often stem from our histories and experiences, and continue to play out in our lives and relationships. They affect how we feel able to show up in the world. My goal as a therapist is help you understand, explore, and challenge these stories and thought patterns, and support you as you create and practice alternatives that are empowering and authentic to you.

I strongly believe that trauma, whether it be big or small plays a monumental role in our day to day life. Whether it be our behaviors, inner dialogue or the guilt and shame that we carry, trauma can have a hold on us and the way we show up in our lives. I work from a developmental trauma lens that examines events that have happened throughout your life, ranging from childhood to adulthood, that may be affecting or interrupting your life today. I believe that by gaining a sense of how trauma affects us, we then can begin to gain back power in our lives.

Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Through the quality of our connections with those we care about, we can feel as though we are thriving or they can leave us feeling isolated and alone. Working to strengthen or rebuild connections with others and with ourselves is extremely important to creating a sense of support and acceptance. If our foundation feels secure and safe, we can then allow ourselves to thrive in other areas of our lives. I have special training in relational therapy and how to strengthen these "systems" and the influence they have on our lives.
