Emotionally Focused Therapists in Custer County, CO
Humans are complex, so I look at the whole person, including your environment and experiences, when treating anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health issues. I often guide clients in exploring their identities, values, and beliefs so you can build self-worth, set boundaries that improve relationships, and make authentic decisions. We work together to set goals for counseling, process what you have been experiencing, and recognize and develop the strengths and supports that can get you to a place that feels better.

Life can become overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel stuck between worrying about the future and replaying the past. Stress, trauma, anxiety, self-defeating thoughts or depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to live. Therapy offers a safe, supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space to slow down, breathe, understand the emotional weight of what you’re carrying, and begin to heal. My goal is to help you learn to give yourself grace, build resilience, challenge self-negative thoughts and recognize that you are not defined by your past or the expectations of others.

You possess an innate strength that has carried you through your darkest moments. While trauma, anxiety, depression, or life’s overwhelming transitions may have clouded your view of that strength, it remains the foundation of your healing. Therapy is not just about "fixing" what feels broken; it is about reclaiming your narrative, honoring your experiences, and building a life that feels authentic and purposeful.

As human beings, we are all the complex result of our most important relationships and our countless unique lived experiences. They shape who we are in beautiful ways, but there can also be deep-rooted hurt or damage impacting our ability to show up as our fullest selves.

Whatever has brought you here, whether as an individual or as a couple, it will be met with compassion and an open mind. In our sessions, I will work to create an environment that feels warm, collaborative, and genuine.

Some of us feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from life, tired of repeating the same cycles—whether in relationships that no longer feel fulfilling, anxiety, depression, self-doubt or old patterns that no longer serve us. Others are simply weary of living in a way that feels heavy, and long for a sense of peace, balance, and clarity. We are often sensing there is more to life, but not yet knowing how to move forward. At time like this, some of us wish we can get support from someone who knows how to help. I would be honored to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to heal.

As people, we are innately wired for healing and have a rich capacity to adapt to whatever life throws at us. While this is a beautiful gift, it can also get us stuck when we adapt to situations that are harmful to us. Things like early relationship wounds, trauma, and chronic stress can trap us in patterns that interrupt our connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. If you're looking to get untangled, I would love to support you in re-connecting with your innate goodness and ability to heal.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
