Teletherapy for Lafayette, CO

People seek counseling for so many reasons. Though the Covid-19 crisis has shifted priorities and focus for many of us this past year +, there are still many other issues that bring people to counseling, that still need and deserve attention. We can work on whatever you need now, whatever issues feel most urgent to you - families, partners, work, health, money, etc. Always, we'll focus on strengths, options, and possibilities, and decide together how best to move forward. Using a blend of coaching and counseling, we'll work to create your best life possible, both during this difficult time, and going forward.

Are you frustrated by anxiety, overwhelm, worry, co-dependency or flashbacks? Are you plagued by guilt, "I'm not good enough," or comparing yourself to others? Does a yucky sense of disconnection gnaw at your insides? Healing and serenity are possible when you find the right support. Go ahead, show yourself that you matter right now by reaching out for support. It is a bold act of love and a demonstration of strength. You're invited to learn how to stop judging yourself, make choices that align with your insides, successfully navigate relationships, trust yourself and move into a heart-centered, peaceful life.

Are you a sensitive person who feels overwhelmed by the world around you? Do you sometimes feel like your needs are overlooked by others? Do you find yourself experiencing the same problems despite your best efforts to do things differently? I get it. I have been there myself and an important thing to understand is that you are not alone. Many of us have difficulty knowing, or even asking, for what we need. We often suffer from patterns which repeat themselves and are hard to understand. This pain can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges, among other things.

Are you able to accept yourself as you are right now, while also committing to change? While you may be seeking therapy to get rid of a problem, what if we turn toward that problem, listen to it, and even notice how it is taking care of you? Ironically, this is how problems seem to shift. You may struggle with your capacity to feel present and authentic in your relationships. These struggles may have roots in what you first learned about love and closeness as a little person. In our work you can learn to embrace, understand, and take good care of this early imprint in your adult relationships.

Are you having difficulty moving beyond a traumatic experience? Are you surprised by your own intense emotions, or are you more numb and withdrawn?

Regardless of what challenges you are experiencing, there is a way for you to feel safe, find peace and happiness, and love yourself fully. With my attuned, direct, and holistic approach to trauma therapy, you can heal past wounds and reconnect with your passions and inspirations for life, all while growing and strengthening your relationships with others and yourself.

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.

*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.

Safe, supportive people are difficult to find. Often we don’t have the tools or relationships we need to heal and to thrive. I provide in person therapy, with emotional support dogs in the office.

You will develop skills and resilience for living in these uncertain times. I am Licensed (LPC), Nationally Certified, trained in EMDR, Splankna Spiritual Energy work, and Trauma Certified.

There is more, there is different, there is “lighter.” But there’s no need to take my word for it. I'm here to help you experience this growth for yourself, with encouragement, empathy and humor.
