Grief Therapists in Lafayette, CO

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.

Have you experienced trauma, stress or loss in your life? The answer is yes, we all have a different tolerance for the things life throws at us. Everyday we experience adversities that can add up over our lifetime. Unfortunately, we live in a society that too often has a "forget about it and move on" attitude. I want to help you slow down and really look at how your life journey has impacted your overall mental health. My goal is to create a safe place for you or your child to begin understanding how these stressors are impacting your life. I want to normalize the importance of self awareness, communication and self love.

Hello! Thanks for taking a look at my counseling practice. I consider it an incredible honor to support people through challenging times. As a deep student of human behavior and relationships, I bring my rich life experience into every session, offering intuitive support with a touch of humor when needed. In the course of my life, I’ve raised four children, loved deeply and experienced incredible loss . Through my own intense and unwavering commitment to growth, I have developed a radical and unshakeable love for my own aliveness and for the entirety of the human experience. I feel driven to share my enthusiasm with others.

Do you get anxious and overwhelmed easily? Are you more emotional or feel things deeper than other people you know? Do you tend to notice things others don't? Are you highly intuitive? Have you always felt different or flawed? Do you startle easily or are sensitive to loud or annoying sounds? If you answered yes to many of these questions, you may have a normal trait known as a Sensory-Processing Sensitivity, aka Highly Sensitive People. I have this trait and am dedicated to helping others navigate their life in healthy ways. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I am a Certified Grief Counselor.

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.

I have over 20 years of experience as a social worker and therapist and over 14 years as an art therapist. I have worked with children and families in a variety of settings and capacities. I started my career working in foster care and residential settings and have experience working with grief / loss , trauma, family discord, behavioral and emotional issues, and mood disorders. Since becoming a parent in 2006, I have a passion for working with parents, women and mothers as well as adolescents. I am able to engage individuals who may be uncomfortable with traditional talk therapy.

Ever feel like you are not enough or that some days it is hard to get out of bed? Do you feel like life is overwhelming? Has a past trauma or loss kept you from living life fully? Does food or body image decide how you live? I believe that these thoughts, feelings, and emotions can play into depression, anxiety, PTS and disordered eating. With the exploration of the different aspects of yourself you will start to enjoy your life more fully. Through this growth and development you will experience a fuller life and feelings will start to be manageable and you can imagine going through life with a clear sense of self.
