You are not sure why life seems so overwhelming. You may have recurring anxiety or depression. You may be struggling with relationships including parenting. You may feel as though you have tried everything and still have no relief. You know you need to make some changes, small or large, but you do not know where to begin. With the right person to guide you through the process of self exploration, you can discover what is making life so difficult; more importantly, though, what makes life worth living.

Do you feel stuck in your current life situation? Do you feel like mental health issues and physical health issues are holding you back from living your life the way you want to? Whether it is dealing with a difficult season of life, emotional issues, or another mental health issue, I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples as they journey through their concerns. The counseling relationship is a powerful conduit for change and in my sessions clients feel safe, heard, and empowered through their interactions with me.

I commonly work with: moms or dads who are adjusting to a new baby and want to get back on their feet, parents wanting to reconnect with one another and enjoy their relationship again, and women who have experienced a miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Thank you so much for considering Winding Path Counseling!

Are you feeling overwhelmed in school, at work, and in your relationships? Would you like to feel calmer, more fulfilled and more confident? My role is to help you understand what is happening on a deeper level and work with you to manage your feelings and communication skills so that you can feel good about yourself and have successful relationships. Through psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness and EMDR I have seen real transformations in overall functioning, confidence levels and relationship skills.

I take a non-judgmental, empathic, compassionate, and insight-oriented approach to therapy. Current research, as well as my experience and training help me to determine the treatment strategies from psychodynamic, relational, humanistic, existential, cognitive and behavioral approaches that will be most effective in addressing your concerns. I work to create a supportive environment that facilitates reflectiveness, creativity and that helps you increase insight into your present struggles. I believe that your view of yourself and the issues that have lead to their seeking therapy are influenced by your unique life experiences.

I help Gen-Z and Millennials (15-40 years old) who know in their gut that something is not right with their life to reclaim purpose, find clear direction, and make positive change. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or excessive stress, it may not be your fault. Most of us have not been taught how to effectively deal with the stressors and demands of the modern world. You may have tried using self-help books, social media, or binging Netflix to relieve feelings of discomfort, but continue to struggle nevertheless. Through working together, you will learn new powerful and sustainable tools to thrive.

Is your child, preteen or teen struggling? Whether it be at school or home, whether it be defiance or behavioral symptoms I am here to help. You know your child better than anyone, and sometimes children can also have parts of their identity which are unknown. Sometimes kids young or old struggle with big emotions and sometimes struggle to name their feelings. Our children are learning to find their voice. Sometimes sadness shows up as anger and acting out, sometimes scared/anxiety shows up as separation anxiety or struggling with transitions. I can help you and your family learn new ways to feel seen and heard.

I am a firm believer that we are all created with the capacity to grow and heal. I also believe that this sometimes involves making hard choices, including daring to invite others into our journey. And doing human relationships well is the bravest and hardest endeavor in our lives. As a therapist, my hope and goal is to walk alongside you in your struggles, listen to your story, and encourage you along your path. I am on your team and it is a privilege to hold space with you for any amount of time or any length of season.

Humans are wired for connection so it makes neurological sense that relationship problems are some of the most painful experiences we can have. When this happens, we can feel unlovable, broken, alone, and unable to break the cycle. We often feel like there is a relationship handbook that everyone else has, and we are unsure of how to attain and sustain healthy relationships. Whether relationships have always felt difficult, there’s a history of pain and hurt in romantic and/or family relationships, or you are experiencing a difficult relationship for the first time, there is hope and healing possible.

Are you struggling with what you want from your life and relationships? Are you trying to find your energy and joy? I am here to guide you into self-empowerment, and self-love with tools supporting your honesty and integrity with yourself. YOU can create peace and joy in your life. I work with individuals and couples on Relationship skills, Anxiety and Trauma/PTSD to help them find their connection to self and others they've been longing to have.

Are you and your partner trying to understand your patterns and find new ways of relating? Are you personally feeling stuck or lost? I offer compassionate, social justice informed individual and couples therapy. I hope to create a space where we can collaborate and let the process unfold at your pace.

If you struggle and remain unhappy I'm glad you'd consider letting someone help. Suffering is a serious matter. People suffer from many different and individual reasons such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions, or histories of abuse, neglect or trauma. Many people suffer with issues related to sexuality (being gay, lesbian, sexually-addicted, HIV+, etc.) Shame is a damaging experience for anyone (gay or straight) and needs to be addressed head on for change. There is hope. Together, we can figure out the best road ahead. Happiness matters. That is true for everyone, including you.

You’re a professional and now a mom. You're trying to juggle both roles while holding yourself to unattainable high standards. You're struggling. You feel irritable and become easily frustrated with your partner and kids. You've always been a high achiever at work, and now it feels like you're not measuring up. Anxiety is increasing. You’re exhausted but you can’t sleep well. Its hard to figure out how to take care of yourself when life is so overwhelming. You want to feel healthier- mentally, emotionally, physically. Wondering if therapy could help? We all need support sometimes. **Online therapy available to CO and FL residents**

I will commit to you the space to question, process, feeI vulnerable and ultimately grow. I recognize the potential of your pain and your challenges. From this, I believe we can nurture the strength and wisdom you have and that you can heal and be wonderful.

I provide specialty care for adults struggling with anxiety or trauma related symptoms. These challenges can show up in many different ways- from physical symptoms, intrusive thoughts or worry, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, and changes in behaviors that begin to make life smaller and smaller. We are all doing the best we can and apply many creative strategies to get away from distress. However, these strategies often begin to backfire and get in the way of the things we want the very most. Treatment can provide an opportunity to step back and understand ourselves with compassion, while actively pursuing change.

Welcome! I believe that therapy is an experience in which we will work together, rather than one in which a clinician treats a patient. While the methods I use are evidence-based, my approach is heart-centered and mindful. Whether you are wanting help with trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, addiction, divorce/end of a relationship, Bipolar Disorder, or overcoming a block in your personal growth, you are in the right place. Saturday hours are available. I practice EMDR Therapy and received my EMDR Training from the Maiberger Institute, an EMDRIA approved provider of EMDR Trainings.

I am a licensed clinican with advanced training in both traditional and non-traditional psychology. My various degrees, licenses and training include Clinical Art Therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), Psychodrama and Spiritual Psychology allow my clients many opportunities in which to access and process unconscious and conscious material successfully. My concept of healing is to achieve the most profound and effective treatment in the shortest period of time with the least amount of distress. It is my passion, as a therapist, to support people through the process of growing into themselves.

*Online Sessions Available* Couples begin therapy for reasons ranging from "We are doing okay but could use a little help in a few areas," to "We are falling apart and aren't sure we will make it." Wherever you fall on that spectrum, from a bump in the road to what feels like rock bottom, couples counseling can help. I see couples who are worn out by life, by work, by parenting, by a pandemic...They feel distant & constantly at odds with one another. Repeptivie conflict, defensiveness, misunderstandings, & lack of appreciation are taking their toll and couples wonder is this as good as it gets? Is this the best we can hope for?

I support couples and individuals looking for the skills they need to communicate, to rebuild their relationship - to restore and repair those intimate connections that have slipped away. Affairs, poor communication, huge arguments, parenting differences, differences in sex drive - these are issues common to so many couples. I work best with motivated clients who are ready to jump in with both feet. I am honest, straight forward and committed to your well-being. If you are serious about getting help for yourself and your relationship, please get in touch so we can jump start the healing process.

Connection, true connection to another human being, can set the basis for the start of change. We sometimes foster internal thoughts and feelings that become hard to define or share. The secrecy and isolation of our reality magnifies our fear, our sadness and our loneliness. One person who truly listens, and truly cares, might become the catalyst to a new life where you feel free and empowered to become who you want to be.
