Career Counseling Therapists in Longmont, CO

You might feel dissatisfied with your relationships, career , or direction in life. You might be confused about what you want, how to proceed from here, and where to get help. You've felt alone in your pain and possibly embarrassed about needing help. Maybe you are struggling with intimacy issues. Perhaps your problems are sexual. You desire to truly connect with your partner (or find a partner) but do not know how. You know you'd like to feel deeply satisfied in your body, heart, sex, and mind. You'd like to provide another this deep satisfaction.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

You're looking for help with something that feels beyond manageable. You have been trying to live and breathe but the hard keeps taking your breath and life and vitality away. People just don't get it, do they? I am here to get it. I am here to get you and help you get through this. I welcome you here: your raw, unfiltered, real self.

I can help you transmute the immense power of your story into positive change in your life. Many psychological, emotional, and spiritual problems boil down to conflicts between our inner world (our goals, desires, loves, aversions, spiritual realizations) and our outer world (demands of family, relationships, career , money, social groups). It's natural to internalize the outer world and externalize the inner world, but that's also the source of many of our troubles. I offer careful, authoritative, compassionate guidance to help you sort this out and right the ship for a healthy, sane, awakened life.

You may have recently experienced a big life transition (a health, relationship, or career change) and, moving forward, you want to realign with what is truly important for you. Or perhaps this has been a longer journey of increasing dissatisfaction and you are ready to reconnect with your sense of vitality, motivation, and well-being.

Life is full of ups and downs and neither need be feared. Despite our best efforts, we cannot avoid suffering. Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand our lives. It can help us learn to recognize patterns of seeking safety at the cost of aliveness. My clients often are seeking relief from anxiety and stress, or working with specific challenges, including substance abuse, relationship challenges, career difficulties and life transitions. I work with individuals who are seeking to develop greater spiritual awareness and more joy in life. If you are looking change careers or want to find meaning in life, I can help.

The therapy process can help you to develop a deeper connection to your true feelings, more authentic communication, healthier and more satisfying relationships, a clearer path through life, and a sense of being more "yourself". I take an eclectic approach, using talk therapy, dreamwork/play, creative expression, insight into family relationships, and exploring beliefs developed in childhood and the ways that they influence your current patterns and choices.

If you're a woman in transition, I'm here to help you move through unknown territory with more ease. For you to get to a clearer and more grounded place, often it takes working through self-esteem/self-confidence issues, feelings of overwhelm and self-doubt. You may be looking for a change in career , a direction in life purpose or perhaps you're dealing with chronic illness, experiencing an existential crisis, have become a new mother, an empty nester or recently out of a longtime relationship. I offer you a unique and effective approach to helping you feel better and be on your way to living a confident and more fulfilling life.

Talking through feelings, experiences and emotions can be more helpful and healing than many people realize. I am passionate about helping women and couples who are struggling with infertility, IVF and alternate methods of family building (including adoption, foster care, surrogacy), as well as, postpartum anxiety/depression. I am an IVF mom who left a career in sales and marketing to pursue a counseling degree after my own long battle with infertility and PPD. I also love to help moms who are trying to balance taking care of themselves with the responsibility of raising tiny humans. I, also, work with anxiety and depression.

As your therapist, my goal is to help you unearth what’s keeping you silenced, (re)connect to your inner wisdom, and forge a new path with more meaning, joy, and adventure. I believe in your unique wisdom and the aliveness that comes from its expression. Folks who come to me are untangling the impact of emotional and psychological abuse, struggling with maternal/parental wellness, or in need of care around career , identity, depression, anxiety, and more. People are often struggling with all that comes with early parenthood, boundaries, identity, toxic relationships, people pleasing, perfectionism, self-esteem, and coping skills.

When something in your life isn't working, when everything that usually keeps you going isn't enough, therapy can help. As a counselor, I seek to build a compassionate, safe, therapeutic relationship with you, so that we can work together to explore what's happening in your life, learn new ways of coping, and find what you need to grow. Many of my clients come to me for collaboration around life transitions and identity crises of all kinds. One of my strengths is putting into context what you’re dealing with, given your personal and cultural background, and societal dynamics and differences.
