Couples Counseling Therapists in Lafayette, CO

Hi there! My name is Sam. I am a trained person-centered therapist with 3 years of clinical experience working with clients of all ages. In my practice I use modalities and techniques including child-centered play therapy for children, along with talk therapy and expressive arts therapies for adolescents and adults. Depending on your needs, we may work on things like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, communication techniques, as well as crisis and trauma healing. I have a wide range of experience working with various client concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

Becoming a mother is the hardest journey, with more complexities than anyone could have prepared you for. The impact on your body, your marriage or relationship , the changes happening within your partner , the differences you may have about how to parent, how you want to mother, and the changes within your extended family. There are constantly evolving and shifting dynamics in this season of life.

There are times when we need a caring professional to come alongside us like Virgil with Dante as we find our way through traumatic Infernos. Finding purpose and meaning in our troubles is impossible to do alone. Our soul suffers for lack of meaning -- something to fill the hollowness inside, besides material possessions and allusions of success. We long for something to bring light to the darkness of our mere existence. I would be honored to accompany you through your personal Infernos into the unfolding of your truer whole self.

I believe that we all need help and support in our lives, especially in times of crisis and change. We all have capacity and resiliency already present in our life, but sometimes we may need someone else to witness and help support us during times of grief and loss, change of identity, or interpersonal pain and relationship difficulties. I think that creating goals of changing the way that our thoughts and beliefs influence our feelings, being able to feel what we are going through with another person present, and setting concrete goals with our behavior can help when seeking therapy. This is what we can do together.

Now offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for depression, anxiety and trauma. The number one thing I offer my clients is a safe, non-judgmental, and non-shaming relationship , where you feel understood and you get relief! Without that, any therapy will fail. I work with you to understand what is underneath the deep feelings that bring you to therapy. My clients would say that I build trust fast and they know they are loved. Some of my specialties over a decade of practice include: Deep work for the individual.

*IN-STATE TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE* You can't shake the feeling that you're settling for less than is possible in your relationship . The problems in your relationship feel stuck, like they're just not going anywhere. You find yourself and your partner getting upset and reacting in the same old unhelpful ways over and over, but just don't know how to find your way back to authentic, loving intimacy. You're scared there might not be a way back. But you're hopeful that, with professional support, you can reclaim the sexual and emotional intimacy you've been missing, and find a way out of the same old fights and back into being in love.

You've probably discovered that life has presented you with a myriad of curve balls. Perhaps traumas from your past are lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be unveiled. Maybe you even notice your body sending you signals that something "feels off", or feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns and crave to break free. Waking up to our realities is a vulnerable and brave act, which can oftentimes feel frightening. I hold space for all of these experiences. Through trauma-informed psychotherapy and somatic (body-based) interventions, we will safely enter into a deep healing process for lasting change together.

Life is hard, and most of us experience symptoms of sadness and stress at some point in our lives. It can be overwhelming trying to understand the source of our pain and determine the best path for healing. It is my belief that relationships are both the cause and the context of healing for many of our difficulties. Unfortunately, many of us struggle in our relationships and find that they contribute stress and tremendous pain to our lives. I am passionate about offering support for the relationships in your life and helping them become a source of connection and trust.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner , family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health. CLIENTS report that they appreciate my humor, compassion and interactive style. TOGETHER, we explore how specific patterns may be at the root of emotional, interpersonal and/or physical challenges. TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

Welcome! Thank you for your consideration in working with me. I believe that every human needs a space where we can be seen, heard, and supported in a compassionate way. I have experience and training in supporting clients struggling with a wide range of issues pertaining to mental health including depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, grief, shame, and trauma. I collaborate with clients in reaching their goals; whether it is finding new ways to cope, increasing love for oneself, or recognizing where we can initiate change.

Whether managing a life transition, addressing a relationship conflict, processing trauma or changing unwanted behavioral patterns, I work to help clients understand the root of the issue, develop tools necessary to meet these challenges, and take steps towards a healthier and more integrated life.

Relationship habits with our intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit a fresh and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true hopes and intentions. I support you to slow down and connect in the present moment where the power resides to develop a whole-body intimacy with a partner . It is in the here and now where you can reawaken the creativity and integrity of your connection.

As a relationship and marital therapist, my goal is to help you and your partner to rediscover the friendship, connection and passion that initially brought you together as a couple.

As a solution-focused therapist or life coach working with an individual, my goal is to help you realize strengths, uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.
