Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

Hi there! I am double board-licensed therapist and coach, with close to 15 years of experience in the mental health, addictions, and leadership fields. I love leveraging neuroscience, human connection, and positive psychology for ultimate outcomes, true freedom, and true abundance.

Are you having a hard time managing a relationship with your child, parent, spouse or another important person in your life? Do you struggle to break out of old patterns and make desirable changes? Would you like to feel more successful at managing your emotions and life circumstances? I believe everyone struggles with navigating the challenges of life at some point. My goal is to empower clients to remove barriers and develop healthy coping skills so that their journey in life becomes less stressful and more fulfilling.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and a host of other unpleasant things can rob us of our identity and potential in life. I understand what it’s like to be desperately seeking to find something in order to feel some relief. I also remember feeling paralyzed by not knowing what to do, where to go, or what to say. The importance of finding a person and environment where you feel safe to share both the brightest and darkest parts of you cannot be overstated. My personal and professional goals are to help you see and achieve your unique potential, to uncover and release that beautiful self within you, and ultimately – to feel better!

I believe in dismantling oppressive systems and harmful patterns within individual's lives through meaningful and powerful therapeutic intervention. Through counseling, clients can begin to experience the power behind their own convictions and step into a position of power over their own internal landscape. By providing a caring, compassionate, and free space to express past traumas, disruptive thought patterns, and confusing life circumstances, I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client.

The Sanctuary of Growth is a place for those on the spiritual walk. A sanctuary where you can begin initiating and establishing positive change, new supportive routines and self-reflection in your life, also exploring areas that may hold many significant answers to your own journey of growth by allowing for spaces of healing and reflection that resonate with where you wish to head next. My practice is unique in joining evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches with spirituality based exploration, integration and training as the catalyst of growth and root source healing as a tool to help you navigate and uncover the healer within.

"I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT HERE." Sound familiar? It does to me, because I've heard it over and over in my office. By the time many couples make it into counseling, they feel disillusioned and angry, even hopeless. Please know, however, that there is hope! Research into relationships shows that couples can discover and change how they interact, leading to a restoration of the connection they once had, or the creation of the one they always wanted.

Working with women is my forte! Women have a core value of relationships and this is how we filter our decisions. Moving, parenting, and other choices are made from this core value. We are the center of the family flower. When we grow and accept ourselves we go Beyond our natural Beauty!

When people experience trauma, severe life stressors, or even experience change of any kind, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My passion and greatest gift is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help my clients, children, adults, and families, including the very young (ages 2-5), find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as restored, complete, whole, and safe.

Hopeless? Overwhelmed? Tired of feeling sadness, anger, & worry? Ready to get your life back? I specialize in divorce recovery, relationship/ marriage counseling, recovering from narcissistic relationships & abuse, parental alienation & reunification, co-parenting & communication in high conflict divorces. I, also, work with anxiety and depression issues. Sometimes the circumstances around us do not change but be encouraged that taking a STEP FORWARD can be the first step towards hope and healing. I work with individuals, couples, & families. I, also, offer teletherapy and video sessions.

“With this one precious life…” This is a powerful statement! It highlights that we both have the power to decide how we complete the sentence, and that life itself can be worth experiencing. I am passionate about helping people move through their pain and failures, learn to grow and love themselves more fully. When we love ourselves, that love spreads to others. When we forgive ourselves, forgiveness spreads. I believe we all have the potential to heal, grow, forgive and love more fully and in this growth we can begin to thrive.

Are you caught in a cycles? Emotional cycles of ups and downs and thoughts that tell you that you aren't good enough? Ask yourself the question, what is holding me back? Would you like to address your fear, phobias and limiting beliefs so you can step up to the life you've always felt was meant for you? If you've got that list, I can help you free yourself from all that holds you back and its a much quicker process than you realize. It's time to open yourself to raise your vibration and match the life you were meant to live. A life of abundantly above and beyond.

NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME Have you ever uttered the words "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" or felt like even when you are happy, that you are just waiting for the other shoe to fall? Do you have thoughts that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change and you find yourself in the same toxic relationships over and over again? Maybe you have even had thoughts that it's all too much and there never seems to be that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel that everybody keeps talking about. Yet something keeps you going, some small voice inside you knows you want more, knows you are capable of more.

Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope- MLK We work hard to achieve our dreams only to be knocked down. Healthy relationships are seemingly impossible to obtain in a social media-driven world of high expectations. We want to be cared for and we desire to obtain healthy and secure connections. Many of us battle negative inner voices or outside influences seeking control over our joy and happiness. Many feel alone and isolated, and it can be hard to know who can one trust. I would be honored to be apart of your story and to help build your dreams of love and acceptance to come true, starting first with you loving you!

Offering Telehealth Therapy in Colorado, Indiana, and Texas. My passion is to help people in need as effectively as possible. Most of us in the field have a story and mine is one that compels me to be an encourager of others in the midst of emotional, relational and psychological pain. Through three decades of study in Psychology and Theology, I have come to a deep appreciation of both traditions and disciplines. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor between the client, God, and me...and each one is vital for the desired outcome.

Using evidence-based therapeutic models, clients learn to identify anxious thoughts tied to their core beliefs. By replacing the anxious thoughts with what is true about them, relief from anxiety occurs. I validate people’s experiences while helping them uncover the truth about their inherent value and worth in order to re-frame their problems and discover solutions to them. I focus on what clients believe about themselves and how they shape their behavior emphasizing solutions not problems. Together with the client, we re-frame perceptions in light of discovered truth creating new perceptions that influence our feelings

I specialize in working with teenagers, children, and young adults who are struggling with emotional and/or behavioral problems, stress management, life transitions, anxiety, and trauma. I truly enjoy building safe, collaborative relationships with my clients and seeing their growth in reaching goals.
