Family Counseling Therapists in Greeley, CO

Starting your personal counseling journey is never a decision of weakness, but instead it's one of great strength and bravery. You are deciding to face the issues, change the patterns, and break the unhealthy cycles in your life and in your family . That is an incredibly brave thing to do, but I do understand that it's scary to get started. My hope and desire is that you feel supported and empowered throughout this process. I hope to be able to provide tools, guidance, and support as you walk out your journey of healing. I am a Christian and will incorporate faith-based elements when it's welcomed, but that is completely up to you.

I believe that people do the best with what they have. Trauma, stress, anxiety and adverse life experiences can, at times, derail us from being our “best”. My role as a therapist is to help you reach your pinnacle. I always work from a strengths-based and client-centered focus. The client is the expert of their own life, but I serve as an agent for change to assist in developing, applying and supporting the therapeutic growth. I have experience with children, teenagers, young adults (up to age 35), couples and families .

I encourage you that you can heal; those impacted by grief, loss or trauma can feel joy. Together we will discover deep healing. Band aids do not cover deep wounds, and treatment in grief/trauma can help. A caring relationship that fosters personal growth and integration- counseling works!

I have had the pleasure of supporting and witnessing individuals transform their lives and make changes they did not think possible. I also am bilingual in Spanish. ¡También hablo Español!

I believe my goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and accepting environment to individuals in order to find their inner strength. Life can be very scary and challenging at times and it is my passion to help others overcome these challenges and reach their dreams and goals. My theoretical approach is unique to each individual in order to promote growth and develop their very own personal identity. I have also added teletherapy to my practice providing clients with flexibility and convenience to access therapy.

I have 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma as well as relationship and behavioral concerns. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and their families . I work collaboratively with my clients in overcoming life's challenges and learning to live happy and fulfilling lives.

“Mom/Dad, I don’t want to go to school today. I feel like no one likes me. I feel like you don’t understand me. I hate myself. I am not good enough. I can’t do anything right.” These are some of the heartbreaking statements children are saying to their parents throughout this past year of tremendous change and chaos. If any of these conversations have become common with your children, I would love to connect and help your child feel more happiness, peace, and pride in who they are and the things they do.

Evening Appointments Available - It can be heartbreaking to see your child/ teen struggling, and when they are struggling with such overwhelming emotions as depression, anxiety, anger, etc. we can feel so helpless. However, you and your child are not alone, and you've made it this far, which says a lot! I would love to partner with your family to add support, and offer a space for your child/ teen to sort through all of those overwhelming emotions, and behaviors that can accompany those emotions. Sometimes a little extra, professional support, and a well thought out path for how to get to a better place can make a big difference.

Life comes with challenges and I believe you should not have to walk through them alone. You are the expert in your own life and my role as your therapist is to help facilitate the changes you want to make. My desire is to provide a safe space for clients to heal past trauma, share vulnerable emotional experiences, and identify barriers to their success. I am passionate about the work I do to help individuals, couples, and families create the lives they desire.

I have 20 years of clinical experience working with couples, families , teens, school age children and adults. I believe my work has greatly contributed to enhancing the lives of my clients. I utilize a strength-based approach, which helps families to see beyond the problem and see opportunities for change. I strongly believe in building on family strengths to improve relationships and family functioning. I provide consultation and parent education designed to empower, educate and support parents in developing effective parenting strategies.

Only you can truly appreciate how you came to be the person you are today. We can choose to engage in life and with each other from a position of fear or a position of possibility. I believe counseling is all about possibility - the possibility of discovering your voice, the possibility of seeing something new in your reflection, the possibility of personal growth, and the possibility of finding your own deep light.

Hello. I'd like to introduce myself and tell you a bit about my background. I have a deeply held passion for helping people transform their lives. My expertise is in the areas of sexual trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and marriage and family counseling . My preparation and education includes advanced training in sexual trauma, complex trauma, and sexual addiction through Masters and Johnson. As an affiliate faculty member at Regis University and former Assistant Professor at Colorado Christian University, I have also taught graduate courses in each of these fields.

Many will enter therapy thinking, “What have I been doing wrong to get here?” I meet clients and think, “What have you been doing right to make it this far?” Yes, I think a bit backwards, but it’s what allows me to find innovative ways to help clients move forward using their strengths. Individuals, couples, and families who have previously felt stuck in complex issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, adoption, parenting, and relationships report finding relief through embracing their strengths and being reassured that their experience is valid. This helps tap into their innate ability to heal and renew balance.

My approach to therapy is holistic in nature. What affects our minds, affects our emotions, our bodies, our spiritual self, and our relationships with others. I follow the premise that we as human beings are whole at our core. Due to life experiences, we learn to "disown" the parts of ourselves that we do not like. To aid in this process of becoming whole again, I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, and Jungian theory. As you become whole again, you grow. As you grow, you become wiser and better able to handle the challenges of life.

Trauma, adverse life experiences, and stress, impacts us at all stages of life. It is my job to partner with you while we work to improve your relationship with yourself, and in turn the relationships with those around you. I am the agent to hold stress and tension with you as we work together to move past self-preservation and into healing. With specialized training in complex trauma and attachment I work with all individuals (adults and children), and families including; foster and adoption, victims of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and parents through a variety of psychotherapy approaches determined by your needs.

Asking for help can be a scary thing to do. Especially, when walking in our relationship with God. I commend you for taking the first step in helping yourself! I completed my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Hope International University, and am in the process of finishing a second Masters in Theology. When working with clients I go where you need to! My priority is that my sessions create a safe place to process trauma. This includes an environment where you can show up as yourself, and say anything you need to.

Turning Point was established as an emergency shelter for youth in the juvenile justice system in 1967. It has grown to become a multi-service agency offering a continuum of services including: Short and long-term intensive residential substance abuse treatment for teens, Crisis intervention services, Outpatient therapies and treatment, Coaching and mentoring programs and Individualized education. We provide direct clinical intervention services to address behavioral health and substance abuse issues for high-risk youth, ultimately teaching them to make healthy life choices and smarter decisions.

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.
