Couples Counseling Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Now accepting tele-health clients. I am an experienced therapist interested in helping people find the unique set of skills, understanding and healing to make changes in their lives. I work to incorporate evidenced based therapy practices with the complex needs of individuals, tailoring each therapy to the client's needs. I have worked in hospitals, inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as college counseling centers. In my practice I work to develop a collaborative relationship with each client. I have extensive experience working with PTSD, substance abuse, anxiety disorders and depression.

My work is based on my passionate belief that we are created for deep and abiding relationships with one another. To be in relationship means to be authentic and be seen for who you are without fear of judgment. It is only within this type of environment that healing can flourish. Exposing brokenness enables me to tenderly walk alongside my clients in order to illicit redemptive restoration in their lives. Joining with clients on their journeys is an honor and privilege that is not taken lightly. Treatment is always tailored to the uniqueness of clients' struggles and strengths, being informed by evidenced based practices.

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 an expertise of working with clients dealing with issues of depression, anxiety and trauma, along with learning to cope with relationship issues and managing through difficult life transitions.

Do you just feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are you desiring more from your life and relationships? Are you longing for a deeper connection with yourself or with a partner ? Do you struggle to communicate your wants and needs to your partner ? Has sex become more of a struggle than a pleasure? Do these questions feel familiar? If so, you are not alone. I’ll be happy to help you uncover authenticity, transform painful patterns, and create a life that is aligned with your highest values and deepest desires. I aim to provide clients a course of therapy that is tailored to best suit your unique needs.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” –Maya Angelou. Sometimes life deals you a million little paper-cuts, relationships are challenging, our coping mechanisms aren’t helping, and we find ourselves disillusioned and disconnected. You may be dealing with a difficult or destructive marriage, anger and resentment, hurt from the church, relentless anxiety, unprocessed grief, feeling like you're trapped, or struggling with unspoken shadows of the past. Relational conflict feels like a never-ending cycle and you're beginning to wonder if it will ever get better.

I'm an Art Therapist and Transpersonal Counselor. I like to think of it as combining creative processing with soul-centered psychotherapy -- I love helping people transform through images. I counsel people who long for emotional/spiritual clarity and purpose, but feel overwhelmed by fear, shame, and grief. Through art therapy, transpersonal counseling, and EMDR, I support clients through the process of exploring neglected areas of the self, so they can find meaning and direction in their lives. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment approach which can improve self-esteem and process difficult past experience and emotions.
