Gambling Therapists in Lafayette, CO

It's time to put in that work for a successful 2024. Are you struggling with motivation or finding it difficult to accomplish your goals? Have you developed bad habits or feel stuck? I work with people to achieve peak performance. Through my model, the Spire of Performance , I help to people to define the areas of their life they want too see maximum potential and then we develop a plan in 6 different domains. I believe that physical health is closely tied to mental health and incorporate wellness interventions into every treatment plan. I offer yearly mental health check-ups and free phone/video consultation.

You are worth it. Take the step. Sometimes it seems like you'll never get out of the quicksand of your struggles. But you can. You don't have to do it alone. Rooted in the present and evidenced based practices, through a depend approach to using cognitive and emotion based therapies, I can help you to overcome your issue. Through uncovering and exploring the aspects that are making things difficult for you, how your thinking and emotions are in play, you can become empowered, have agency, and get on with your life.

Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills. Have you or someone close to you noticed issues related to addiction or dependence (compulsive behaviors) on alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, internet or computer games, or even work or sex?

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, anger? Does it feel like you can't control what's happening? Abuse/trauma can cause people to do things they never thought possible. I believe every person wakes up in the morning trying to do the best they can. Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Panic can take over a person's life. No one wants to yell at the kids, husbands/wives, friends.Are you afraid of your drinking or drug use? Are you afraid you will hurt yourself or someone else? People use drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling to manage anxiety, or depression or to manage unresolved grief.

As your therapist I will work hard to provide you with the tools to overcome obstacles and reach your personal goals. Unlocking your potential will be our primary aim along with developing an awareness of how we create our own blocks. You will also work towards becoming more yourself as strange as that may sound! This involves getting in touch with your own psyche to discover, or rediscover, what makes you tick. It can be an incredibly rewarding process.

I've been working in the mental health field for over 20 years. I've worked with a wide range of issues including but not limited to addictions, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, stress and anger management, men's issues, PTSD, work/life transitions, and couples/relationship issues. I work best with clients who feel stuck, have tried some things on their own that just haven't worked, and need that extra bit of guidance to get to where they want to be, personally and professionally.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

As we travel along in life, emotional pain and trauma often cause us to fracture and lose touch with ourselves, leaving us scrambling to pick up the pieces–but the good news is we don’t have to go it alone. In a world full of distraction and overstimulation, it is an act of rebellion to slow down, look within, and feel. I see myself as a guide and co-pilot to support you in exploring your emotional landscape and navigating the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery. I’ve had the honor of helping clients work through anxiety, depression, complex trauma, PTSD, addiction, terminal illness, men’s issues, and relationship troubles.
