Female Therapists in Durango, CO

I work primarily with individual adults, young adults and teens ages 18+ who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

The journey of life is filled with wonder, but it can also be completely overwhelming. We can feel consumed by our trauma and emotions, play out patterns of behavior over and over, and let our inner critic run wild. Sometimes it feels like we are just existing rather than fully living. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with another person can be daunting. Whatever has brought you to therapy - I encourage you to come as you are. There is nothing I have not heard before. In turn, I promise my clients unconditional acceptance, genuine connection, and a therapeutic foundation built on trust as we embark on this brave journey together.

As a registered Naturopathic Doctor, I am interested in treating the whole person and discovering the underlying cause of imbalance or dis-ease. I address not only mental-emotional wellness, but the physical body as well. I provide safe, effective alternatives to medications for people who do not want to be on them or when they no longer work. If you have been through the medical model and are tired of not feeling heard or being offered treatments that don't work, there is a solution. I will customize a treatment plan to meet all of your individualized needs.

If you are ready for real change in your life and are tired of being stuck in the same routine, same fears, or same unhelpful thought patterns, then we will work very well together. Many of the clients who see me for therapy have experienced excessive worry and hyper-vigilance, racial trauma, hopelessness, suffered from the aftereffects of a traumatic event, or have had difficulty connecting in relationships with others. I love working with women who are currently experiencing the wild changes and challenges of motherhood, particularly helping women find their selfhood during the pre and postpartum journey.

Life is hard & seeking help can be even harder. But no matter how anxious or depressed the situation may seem, it is always workable & I wholeheartedly believe in you! I love supporting people towards becoming their best self & specialize in working with women , couples, trauma, relationships & codependency. I’m trained in EMDR, PACT, IFS, Gestalt, & Wilderness Therapy. My holistic approach is Transpersonal, mindfulness-based, body-centered, trauma-informed, strength-focused & nature-oriented. My job is to help you clear out old wounds so you can then cultivate your own innate wisdom & creativity in living a more fulfilling life.

Hearing people's stories is what I truly love to do. That is why I became a counselor. That is what I would want to spend my time doing even if it wasn't my career. Human beings are complex, that is true. And we are beautiful in endless ways, good when all is stripped away, and valuable beyond anything else in all of creation. To know and be known is one of the sweetest experiences of life. Along with being loved and securely belonging to other human beings. I hope my work gives these kind of gifts.

You’ve been hit hard by life. Your emotions are overwhelming at times. You’re frozen by indecision and self-doubt. You’re doing well in your career but you’re not being noticed or promoted because you can’t seem to make relationships work. You have trouble with trust and intimacy. You experience your world through the lens of negativity, hopelessness, and pessimism. You know your history of abuse, of being bullied or shamed has created the high degrees of anxiety you feel around people and fear of being judged. You know you need therapy though you know talking about your past has never helped, and yet you keep trying.

I am currently seeing clients online or meeting for walks in the town of Durango, CO.

Therapy is becoming more normalized in a way that it wasn’t for your parents or grandparents. This is an opportunity to explore your own wants/needs, boundaries and personal values that drive your life daily. I focus on three main modalities of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and EMDR. I start every session with a 5-10min mindfulness meditation. Secondly, somatic experiencing is feeling your emotions through physical sensations. Lastly I am trained in EMDR which can be helpful for a range of symptoms from anxiety, depression to PTSD. I also offer psychedelic/ entheogens intention setting and/or integration therapy.

As a PsyPact provider I am approved to provide teletherapy in 32 participating states. I also see clients in person in my Durango practice. I am a recongnized expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based, cutting- edge therapy shown to be effective for a wide range of difficulties. Whether you are dealing with stress and anxiety, a significant loss or trauma, depression, relationship issues, or just wanting to continue to grow and learn, I can help you create a life full of vitality and meaning.

My role as a therapist is not independent, but a partnership. I am a collaborator and facilitate exploration as a means of helping to determine what best serves you and helping you to empower yourself to make desired changes. I understand that it can be awkward or stressful to make the call or take the step to talk to someone. I will do my best to help you feel safe and comfortable with me. Confidentiality is sacred. If you should find that I am not the therapist for you I will help you find someone who would be a better fit for your needs.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, unmotivated, or an overall lack of life satisfaction? You are not alone. In therapy, I encourage you to uncover your wholeness through the experience of safety and connection. I support individuals, couples and families in discovering their fullest potential so they can pursue a life worth living, as defined by them. I aim to support you in moving from “talking” about your struggles to an ability to feel and move through them. I guide you towards radical acceptance, so you can harmonize and the heal the stories of yourself and your experiences.
