Substance Use Therapists in Durango, CO

Do you ever find yourself feeling anxious for no particular reason? Or maybe you struggle to turn off worry and intrusive thoughts? Is trauma causing ongoing problems including depression, difficulty in relationships and maybe even substance use ? I work with adults who struggle with the pain of anxiety, depression, trauma or substance use . I provide skills training to clients who wish to improve their emotional regulation, develop healthier boundaries, and connect with others in meaningful ways while improving self-worth. I believe that you as the client are the expert in your world and I respect everyone’s journey without judgment.

I have dedicated my career to helping teens manage anxiety and self-destructive tendencies, as well as working with young adults on managing issues that get in the way of "adulting." I help my clients to engage in a process of creating strategies around life's troubles.

I believe that we each have what it takes to move forward and succeed in life. Sometimes things happen to us beyond our control. Other times, we simply get in our own way. I've experienced both of these situations in my life, and I believe I can help you respond to life in a way that moves you forward in the direction you want to go. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the framework for how to live your best life. ACT's principles provide a new approach to life, a way of being in the world. I learned them as a client years ago, and I still practice them everyday in my own life.

Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and help you towards the goals that you set. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part.

My therapeutic approach is best described as a cognitive-behavioral-affective approach which utilizes a humanistic-existential base to strategically enact change through direct experience through a challenge. It is client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use an eclectic blend of modalities including humanistic, CBT/mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution- focused, and existential psychology. I focus on personal rehabilitation, growth, development, and enhancement of an individual's physical, social and psychological well-being through the application of structured activities involving direct experience.

My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?

I truly believe it takes Courage for us all to genuinely live from our most authentic place.
