Family Therapy in Lafayette, CO

My counseling practice is about helping release people from burdens weighing them down so they can live freely, confidently, and enjoy their lives. Whatever forms a burden takes on (loss of self, trauma, relationship difficulty, emotional instability, spiritual abuse and much more), my hope is to help bridge a painful and self-rejecting narrative for one of acceptance and healing. My method is to help clients build tools and learn to practice boundaries, self-awareness, emotional stability, relational connection, self acceptance and more. I myself found great freedom in counseling, this experience led me to become a therapist.

Adolescence and early adulthood holds a special place in my heart, because it is such ripe ground for discovery, yet many young people get stuck along the journey. I have worked with young people for over 10 years, who have struggled with social-anxiety and shyness, addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss issues, trauma, school issues, and complex family issues. While all of these can be horrific for the individual and families involved, the underlying resiliency present in each of these young people and families is the foundation that we build from in the healing process.

My passion has been working with people and helping them form healthy relationships with themselves and others. After years of working with emotionally challenged children, exhausted parents,at risk teens and their families, therapy has become a profession as well as a passion. I have had the privilege to treat the community of Boulder and Metro Denver, and have a huge range of knowledge of and connections with local resources. I have spent my professional experiences constantly being impressed with the amazing transformations that people with real life challenges can and do achieve with the right skills, guidance and dedication.
