Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

My approach to therapy is collaborative and based in a genuine and caring relationship with my clients. During our meetings, we will work together to better understand who you are -- your desires and aspirations, your beliefs and feelings, and the patterns that occur in your relationships. My goal is to help you uncover your true self and live a satisfying and successful life in harmony with who you are. Opening up to a therapist can be an intimidating prospect. As such, I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and connectedness where creativity and humor have a place.

I have been working with parents and children for 20 years and I specialize in finding the underlying causes of behavior in order to help children develop an identity as competent and confident young people. When working with and supporting parents, we will develop plans together to help build the skills necessary to modify behavioral outcomes in home and school settings. I work from a solutions-focused perspective that can hopefully generate some quick action steps in addition to the underlying work on causes, building self-esteem, and developing identity.

You matter and your unique story matters. Together we will work to unearth the issues contributing to your pain and chart a path forward. Along the way we'll also discover your strengths that will aid you in healing. Depression, anxiety, and other issues are not the end of the road. There is hope and we will work toward that hope.

Sometimes life has a way of challenging you to your core. Relationships, parenting, self care, balancing work and career, can all be almost too much to maintain at times. If you are seeking the tools and support to make positive change and learn more about yourself, your capacity, and self growth, I am here to help walk along side you in that journey. Reaching out to begin the counseling process can feel overwhelming and even intimidating, but working to build trust and rapport and meeting each client where they are in their life is my goal to help ease the process and make way for welcoming change.

Everyone has a story, and I am here to support you as you explore & create yours.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with you - I believe you've adapted in incredibly smart ways to survive unpredictable environments.

One of the greatest predictors of therapeutic success is a good match between therapist and client. My therapeutic approach is to be gently direct and focuses on you living the truth of who you are. I have no agenda about what your truth is or judgment of how it's become clouded. I am, however, interested in supporting you to live fully. I facilitate awareness through various means: body awareness, blockages to choice, personality, relationships, and teaching mindfulness practices. Clients who hold responsibility have the fuel to catalyze change, and I am ready to work with you.

I genuinely care about my clients’ well-being, and I entered this field to help people solve challenging problems that require a skilled, compassionate, non-judgmental professional.

I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as other disorders. However, I take a relational perspective and don't define people by their symptoms. Stress, anxiety, depression, illness, can get in the way of the relationships we want. Even positive aspects of life, such as parenthood, education, and work can be obstacles to finding and maintaining close connection with others. I can help you learn to communicate more effectively, or get a handle on the anxiety or anger that hangs over everything you want to accomplish.

I believe every individual can benefit from counseling through guidance, coaching and a listening ear. I am dedicated to and passionate about helping my clients work through challenges and difficult life experiences by providing tools for personal growth and enhancement. Through counseling I hope to provide hope and encouragement to heal wounds and help transform their lives for the better, leading to meaningful and positive futures. In my 20+ years of experience in human services working with clients I have seen individuals cultivate greater confidence self-esteem, optimal emotional balance and build richer, fuller relationships.

I tend to see things from a more logical and linear perspective and therefore can offer clarity to my clients as to how they arrived at certain outcomes. It is quite helpful to isolate the causative factors underlying the presenting distresses and then go much deeper into resolving such. Working together and creating strategic personal development plans along with addressing the historic issues offers great relief. As such, I employ many evidenced based therapeutic techniques combined with real world experience to help clients access joy and success in their lives.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I have a heart for working with adults seeking recovery from sex and porn addiction. Notably, porn addiction has accelerated over the last 20 years because of the Internet. Typically, sex and porn addicts also experience compulsivity regarding drug and alcohol use. Fundamentally, people use sex or drugs to medicate against anxiety and depression resulting from traumas.

I'm looking for clients that are struggling with addiction, trauma and symptoms of trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I'm looking for people who recognize that they want to improve their life and view therapy as a supportive piece of that journey.

As a Psychologist with 35 + years in practice, I continue to study discoveries in neuroscience and human behavior, and while I'm glad of that, what I know is that counseling is about talking through the hard stuff - shame, blame, fear, anger, criticism, grief, forgiveness, and all the rest.
