Therapists in Longmont, CO

Your anxiety makes sense. Let that sink in for just a moment. We’re taught that any form of emotional discomfort is something to avoid or get rid of, but you’re likely reading this because everything you’ve tried isn’t making this discomfort go away. What if you could see emotions (whether pleasurable or painful) as hints to be compassionate and go towards self-exploration? What if you could learn to see your partner’s emotions as cues for you to lean in and get curious about what lies beneath? As an empathetic clinician, I can help you to learn how to find wisdom in your emotional cues.

Life can be challenging. Are you unsure of how to move forward, feeling trapped or bewildered by old patterns and emotions? Psychotherapy can be a way forward. Clients who see me include people who just feel stuck, couples who are deadlocked in cycles of conflict and avoidance, and individuals who are interested in exploring how emotions and stress may be contributing factors to their chronic pain or illness.

I believe in plain talk and getting to the root of the issue. To that end, we will name the elephant in the room and then work together to meet the goals that you have for yourself and your mental well being. I've always said that theory and application are two different things. I will not make you fit into a preconceived psyche mold, rather we will plot the therapy course that meets your needs and goals from where you have been to where you are going. The distance between dreams and reality is called action. Take action.

I enjoy helping clients navigate their thought patterns, emotional experiences, and the interplay of relationships. Looking at childhood experiences and family dynamics, I aim to support clients in their present life. It is important to me to provide a space for individuals to explore their lived experiences and develop adequate coping skills to improve their relationships with themselves and others. I utilize a holistic, mindfulness-based approach that is client-centered and nonjudgmental; this invites clients to show up in the therapeutic brave space as their full selves.

People experience all kinds of difficulties in their relationships: sexual, emotional, psychological and spiritual. I can help motivated individuals to make positive relationship changes. Maybe staying in your current relationship isn't the answer; I specialize in helping people to determine if they are going to stay together and enhance their relationships or choose to part in the healthiest way possible. I work with adults of all ages to lead healthier and happier lives. I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families to relate to themselves and each other in more productive and positive ways.

Welcome. I work with people who want to live more fully in their bodies and develop a deep sense of trust in themselves. Those seeking body-centered healing and support for ptsd, complex relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, postpartum anxiety/depression, life transitions like marriage/children/divorce, and spiritual emergence often find there way to my office.

We are living in strange times, and I know you've been through a lot lately. Whether you're feeling lonely, despairing, struggling to find your purpose, or realizing that you've been coping with the help of substances, there is hope. We can work together to make this time an opportunity for growth and meaningful change. I am dedicated to supporting my clients through emotional distress, and helping them discover internal strengths and resources to live the truest versions of themselves. Please note: I see clients online only.

All of us have the innate ability to heal and be free from any troubling condition. This includes the little things like loneliness and confusion as well as the big things like addiction and grief; it's all life. Tackling these issues alone is very difficult and goes against our nature. Together, we can identify the source of your current dilemma. I will engage: I will walk with you as we develop ways for you to become clear, strong, and in charge of your own life. My willingness and experience can be the necessary extra ingredient for your healing.

I am a nationally certified master's level counselor with over 20 years of experience including, since 2014, volunteering with Tru Hospice facilitating grief groups. I offer counseling for issues related to loss and grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, self-empowerment, divorce, parenting, emotional, sexual and physical abuse, co-dependency, adult children of alcoholics, and adult children from dysfunctional families. I have successfully helped many people navigate a variety of intensely emotional times so that they emerge with dignity, self-respect, increased coping skills and a clearer understanding of themselves and the lessons their experience has provided.

Now Accepting NEW Clients. I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understand the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic and borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Present life alone can be challenging and can bring things our way that hit up against unresolved places from the past. At the heart of my approach to counseling is the belief that each of us has a Self that is unbroken and capable of healing us- sometimes it just needs a little support to find its way back to the driver’s seat.

Resilience for sensitive people in insensitive times. Talk therapy + somatic therapy + energy psychology to address anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, relationships, vocation, spirituality, and self-esteem. If you're a deep and detail-oriented thinker, who's more easily overwhelmed than others, and you have big feelings about a lot of things, know you're not broken and you have a lot to offer this world. You're also not alone. You share a genetic trait with 1/5 people (including myself)! Let's address your overwhelm, learn from your sensations, emotions, and intuition, and cultivate a sense of true belonging.

Life is messy. Chaotic. Unpredictable. My desire is to provide a compassionate and safe space to work through troubling issues and explore those patterns in life that have been disruptive, or perhaps destructive. My style is warm, accepting, and creative.

Feeling stuck, alone, and wondering if you will ever feel good enough? Lately you find that you are comparing yourself to others all the time and you feel disconnected from the accomplished, empathetic, and heart driven woman that others see you as. You notice patterns of the past continue to come back to haunt you and you're exhausted trying to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and anxiety that holds you hostage. Life feels especially heavy lately, and it’s getting hard to hold it all together. It’s common to struggle with self-confidence and not seeing the true light you have to offer, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
