Therapists in Louisville, CO

Exhausted with your life and wondering how you got here? Confused about your career direction, relationships or making sense of your experiences? Have anxiety, drugs and alcohol or shadows of past trauma become too familiar? Having someone to help you sort through the pieces and re-orient to your own life and values is crucial. Getting to a place of clarity, aliveness and self-awareness is possible and so worth it.

I call my practice "Life in Waves" because the experience of life goes up and down. Although we all experience change, it doesn't mean that we can always effectively handle the stress of transition. Sometimes we feel "lost at sea". With support, people can learn to surf the waves of change, steer in the direction that is right for them, and find the clarity, creativity, and humor to help them stay afloat.

I believe everyone has the right to pursue happiness and that everyone possesses the capacity to achieve their own happiness. Finding the right kind of therapy can be difficult. Often times, therapists require you to drive to an unfamiliar office, expect you to explain the challenges you're having at home, and then return home to try and put what you've learned into action. Why not explore, learn, and change things in your home in real time? I offer individual and/or family therapy directly in the home to address real challenges in real time. Regain control of your life and bring happiness back into your home.

I believe the body-mind is meant to heal, and that difficulties in your life can be transformed into positive learning experiences, moving you toward more balance and harmony. My goal is to empower you to find your way to health through increased awareness, regulation of the nervous system, and cognitive-behavioral changes. I have a general practice and asssist in dealing with trauma and PTSD, attachment issues, anxiety and depression,spiritual growth, pre-marital counseling and relationship issues, parenting, grief, death and dying, menopause, transitions,spirituality, stress, and coping with illness.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self. I see my role as a compassionate guide who, through effective inquiry, honesty, and our reflection upon the power of choice, can assist your transformation big or small. Whether you desire to improve your parenting skills, assist your struggling teen or clear your path to living more authentically, I would enjoy joining you along your journey toward your greatest health.

I have been working in the mental health and addictions field for nine years and have worked with individuals with trauma, adverse life experiences and the shame these kinds of experiences can have on their day to day experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) and have a Masters Addiction Certificate (MAC) and National Cert. for Adolescent Addiction Counselor (NCAAC). My goal in therapy is to encourage and challenge individuals to become the best they desire to be.

Ideal clients are 11 and up, male or female, an individual, couple, or family, whether "intact" or divorced. My goal is to help you feel better and decrease stress in your life, and to help figuring out the pathway and tools to get there. I am an experienced and caring therapist who is an expert and who is truly committed to helping you at this time and seek a positive impact from therapy as soon as possible. We will pinpoint the issues, set goals together, get a plan in place, and work together toward positive change.

I have been in practice for over 30 years. After receiving my Ph.D from the University of Colorado and completing a 3 year Post-Doctorate at UCLA I returned to Colorado to build my practice. For the first several years I worked in both Inpatient and Outpatient environments. As a result I have experience working with a wide range of psychological issues. Currently, I work from my office or do video conferencing therapy with individuals who most frequently present with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. I work with adults and couples.

You’ve experienced a great loss or significant trauma and your world feels dark and confusing. You feel lost, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, numb, and exhausted – often all at the same time. You’re wondering who you are now and if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I get it. I’ve experienced it. Grief and traumatic stress are messy and unruly, and they definitely don’t obey clearly defined stages or fit neatly into any timeframe. Still, as painful as this is to hear, grief is normal, natural, and necessary. And, healing from a traumatic experience is possible. You don’t have to face either alone. I’d be honored to walk with you.

"Moment by moment, throughout our lifetime, our brains hum with the work of making meaning; weaving together many thousands of threads of information into all manner of thoughts, feelings, memories, and ideas" - Daniel Tammet

I am passionate about helping children, adults, and their families get unstuck, find hope, have better relationships, and start laughing again. I strive to provide a safe space for clients to explore the parts of themselves they have avoided or ignored; to discover new perspectives about themselves, others, and the world; and to acquire new skills to cope with stress and the difficult situations life presents.

Transform your relationship with life! Reduce stress. Release old patterns.

Do you find yourself struggling despite working hard to build the life you want? Excel in some areas of your life while you feel lost in others? Feeling stuck or uncertain about which direction to move in? I’m glad you’re here! It can be difficult to talk about our struggles, but often a relief too, because we realize we’re not alone and there is help available to us.

If you're tired of repeating the same patterns, feeling lost or uncertain about an aspect of your life, or struggling in your relationships, I'm here to help you uncover your full potential.

Healing begins when we feel supported by another person. I offer Gestalt therapy, with a foundation in Social Justice Counseling. I am acutely aware that power, privilege, and oppression exist at the forefront of all relationships, which is why my work with you will take into account the ways your identity shapes your experience of walking in this world. As a bicultural, trilingual woman, I am passionate about expanding strengths that already exist in you and I am familiar with navigating the confusion of holding various identities.

I have enjoyed working with teens , adults and families for over 15 years.

I work with teens, adults and families dealing with codependency, substance use issues, addiction, stress, anxiety and trauma. My approach helps with discovering the best methods for you to learn how to cope with life challenges in a way that won't harm you or the people you love. If you are struggling to find your way, I encourage you to call for a free phone consultation.
