Therapists in Longmont, CO

How long have you been struggling with the burden of feeling like you're not enough? Not small enough, not good enough, not strong enough, not simple enough… It can be exhausting and lonely to feel like you’re constantly falling short. Maybe you spend your days obsessing about food and body image, trying to power through your anxiety, or trying to push aside the burden of the past long enough for you to cope with your fears of the future. If any of this speaks to you, I want you to know that you’ve done such an amazing job getting yourself this far - but you don’t have to do it alone anymore.

I am a Somatic Counselor. This form of counseling brings the body into the therapeutic relationship. In session, this can look like movement, touch, and other mindfulness or breathing practice in addition to traditional talk therapy. I work with couples, families, and individuals to help build relationship that are influenced and informed by your unique body knowledge. With a background in LGBTQ+ affirming reproductive and sexual health, public health, and yoga I am able to support a variety of therapeutic goals.

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.

Telehealth/virtual appointments only. I am a provider of professional counseling services in Longmont and throughout Colorado, utilizing EMDR therapy and traditional psychotherapy to help with whatever you choose to work on (trauma, PTSD, divorce, relationship issues, substance abuse/dependency, life changes/transitions, depression, anxiety, childhood issues, etc.). I began my clinical work at Austin Recovery, working with individuals facing addiction and the many issues underlying addictive behaviors. With this work, I developed a strong interest in helping individuals deal with past traumatic experiences and negative life events.

I have a passion for hearing people's stories and helping them find their place in this world. I believe we all have a desire to be happy and to feel whole. We have a core desire to feel wanted and loved and the first step is learning to love ourselves. Therapy can help you achieve that desire. The mind is the control center of behavior and emotion and if we can work through negative thought patterns together and help you realize the strengths that already lie within you, we can together create a healthier, happier YOU. My goal is to help you gain a sense of trust in yourself, and an openness to experience life to the fullest.

With expert help, you can discover how to cultivate better emotional, mental, and energetic balance. Sessions support personal growth, self-acceptance, anxiety reduction, self-love, self-trust, and conscious creation. Improve your emotional health and relationship with yourself and others. Mind-body techniques provide rebalancing. Learn about choosing and allowing. Live fully in the now. Thrive as a conscious human on your journey. Learn to deepen your connection to your intuition, knowingness, heart, soul/spirit, and/or inner wisdom.

Parenting a teenager or young adult presents new challenges, as the once-solid connection with your child transforms in the face of media overload and online comparison. They grapple with a longing for acceptance amid the pressure to carve out a unique identity. If you've noticed signs like stress, isolation, sleep troubles, or strained relationships, a skilled therapist can serve a unique role in their lives that gives them a trusted container for support during this transformative phase.

In our work together, my intention is to hold a space in which you can begin to relate to yourself with a sense of curiosity and gentleness. This includes growing the capacity to be with your internal experience, as it is, without the need to numb or distract in ways that may have become destructive. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is integral to the healing that takes place in therapy. When we feel safe enough to trust and open up, then we can begin the work we need to do on ourselves.

Life often presents us with challenges that can make it difficult to find a way back to overall wellness. People enter therapy for a variety of reasons. Maybe you have lost a loved one or a life transition has caused anxiety and stress. Perhaps you or someone you know is struggling with addiction. You might be having a difficult time with self-confidence or depression. Developing skills to find healthy balance within ourselves and with others is needed for stability and happiness.

It is your right as a human being to have fruitful, loving, and supportive relationships with others and yourself. Often, we are brought out of alignment with this truth. We come to believe that we are not deserving of love and kindness or that others are incapable of giving us these things. Therapy provides a connected space for us to explore our needs & desires, our fears & hopes. I work with: LGBTQ+, non-monogamy and polyamory, relationship work, conflict resolution, gender identity and transition, queer clients, infidelity & affairs, sex and intimacy, gender-affirming care referral letters.

I sincerely believe in your natural ability to find what you need in this life; comfort, reduced stress, joy, fun, and adventure. Yet, sometimes we feel stuck, either with where we are in life or in our relationships. I want to get to know you for who you really are and what brings you to this place. Together, we can explore ways to get you unstuck - learning where you want to be, challenging what keeps you stuck, and creating new paths toward the life you want. I believe in you and am here to encourage you along the way.

Helping couples improve their relationship is my specialty! I believe counseling should be a positive experience and work hard to create a safe space to explore problems (no matter how big) without either partner feeling attacked, blamed, or criticized. I help clients practice effective communication using research-based methods that are proven to be effective. You will also learn how to manage conflict more effectively (even when you disagree). My goal is to help create a mutually loving and respectful relationship, and for each partner to feel understood and have their needs met.

Relief is possible when there's acceptance, curiosity, and courage to be honest with oneself. I work well with clients who are looking to strengthen that trust in themselves to be honest, patient, brave and accepting. I offer guidance around connecting with one's needs, boundaries, self-worth and internal sense of safety and have experience helping people navigate relationship issues such as abandonment, infidelity, co-dependency; job difficulties; and ambivalence during difficult life transitions. My overarching goal for clients is for them to have a more loving and compassionate relationship with themselves, others and their past.

If you have tried counseling before and haven't seen change, this is the place for you. I am so excited to work with clients who are ready to ask the tough questions about themselves or about their parenting. I bring warmth and compassion coming from client-centered approach, but you can also expect to gain tools to help you feel more confident and experience change in your life.

Are you feeling that your relationships aren't as fulfilling as you would like? I specialize in couple's therapy and parent/child relationships and can help restore the health of your relationship. In therapy, I hear couples, families, and teens describe negative emotional experiences and negative communication patterns within their relationships - which can result in stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, and other mental health concerns. I help couples and families express and regulate their emotional experiences to increase authentic communication.
