Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

I have been working in the mental health field for over 35 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

It can be scary to admit that something in your life isn't working. Maybe you have found that the feelings of depression and anxiety won't go away, no matter how much time and effort you put in.

Every person experiences their own hardships, and we all need the proper time and space to work through them.

Have you ever thought of your Entire Life as being a web of relationships? I do. I see your life as having 4 Key Areas of Relationship: 1) With your SELF, 2) With OTHERS, 3) With local Community and the World, 4) And possibly, With Substances, or other Vices. When any 1 or more of these is stressful or out of balance, symptoms occur or worsen. Uncomfortable feelings of transition/change, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, internal or external conflict, feeling hopeless or stuck or angry, or alone, without support or solutions. The list goes on. It is my Mission to help you to feel rapid relief and to facilitate healing/change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and somatic practitioner with a passion for nature-based services, spiritual practices, and expressive arts. People are free to discover and share their life experiences in a safe and honoring environment. Sharing one's pain and experiences can be hard, and I strive to be a compassionate, warm and understanding listener. Each person's life story is sacred, and there are a myriad of gifts waiting to be discovered and embraced. Much of my work is with Highly Sensitive People and empathic intuitives.

I feel overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious, and I do not have people in my life with whom I can openly express how I feel inside. Nobody hears or sees me. I feel alone and stuck. Nobody helpfully listens to me, including the people I love. Have you ever experienced this before? I imagine you have because you are human! These feelings are understandable and normal. You do not have to be alone with these feelings.
