Anthem Therapists in Monument, CO

My practice is comprised of adult individuals and couples. I specialize in helping people resolve marital concerns and utilize discernment counseling to help couples on the brink of divorce. Many clients utilize their therapy sessions to address issues related to changes in their work or personal life and/or current struggles involving anxiety, depression or feeling "stuck" in life. I strive to provide a therapeutic online environment for my clients to work through difficult issues and achieve their treatment goals.

Are you reading this statement and thinking "I'm tired of not getting any better. Where can I turn? Are you feeling somewhat hopeful about real change but wondering who you can trust?" As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change tracking, and mutual goal-setting to provide you with the tools to measure and guide your own progress. Treatment consists of targeting contentment using using time-honored strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and anxiety-reduction techniques.

I understand the difficulties of everyday life and making the decision to seek help. I offer individual, client focused sessions with those looking to make changes. Whether anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, divorce, decreased self-esteem, or stress has gotten you off track, we work together to get you back to feeling and living like your true self. The goal of each session is to focus on YOU and meeting, eventually exceeding, your individual needs.

I will not be asking you "How does that make you feel?" YOU are the expert in you and my role is to help you understand things that are in your way and how to get rid of them. I served in Army, Navy and in the Marine infantry with three combat tours. I've had to work through my own trauma and struggles and after I did, I went back to get my degree so I can help people struggling to move forward. Through my training and experience, I've come to specialize in trauma and addiction, and I understand how difficult it can be to walk into a room and pour out your pain to a stranger, but if you are ready, so am I.

REAL. HONEST. RELATIONAL. AUTHENTIC. INTERACTIVE. SUPPORTIVE. INSIGHTFUL. SAFE.

I am passionate about providing the latest evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions, education, skills and empowerment through learning to truly value yourself and teaching others to do the same. It is so easy to become stuck wrestling with relational difficulties or even abuse. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing emotional and/or narcissistic dysfunction and abuse, addiction (or living with someone who is addicted), and those who have or are surviving interpersonal and intimate-partner violence of any kind.

There are so many more challenges to becoming a parent than what is often expected. We are passionate about serving people throughout their journeys in parenting. Perinatal work includes pre-conception, fertility, pregnancy, & after a baby comes into your family. Along the way, difficulties can arise & our goal is to provide a framework, to offer support, & to give validation for how hard becoming a parent or supporting someone who is parenting can be. Our providers use a variety of tools & knowledge to help people adjust their sense of self, grapple with a loss of control, & support transition in their relationships.

If you are struggling to enjoy your marriage, I want to help.

For over 25 years wives have told me that their husbands won't attend counseling. If "it's a waste of time" they won't come back. More often than not they don't believe that "talking" will change anything. My sessions are about identifying real issues and personalized tools. It is absolutely rewarding to see people create a relationship they never imagined! If you want your spouse to attend with you, ask them to attend ONE time. You will be surprised when they agree to return! And it's more convenient than ever attending my VIRTUAL sessions. My experience and ability to get to the core issues quickly is key to successful resolution.

Non-Judgemental and open minded. I love to work with people who want to move forward in their life, discover clear direction, attain higher goals, be themselves, and reach deeper intimacy in their relationships. You will gain self-acceptance, be free of past traumas, enhance your relationships, and achieve more harmony with your family. I work with you gently & efficiently towards your goals & solutions. Unifying conflicting parts of yourself and finding balance in your life creates emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Clearing the emotional past allows you to progress in your individual growth.

Someone once said there are two kinds of people in the world: those who are trying to get better…and everyone else. Maybe you have tried therapy before and it didn't work, or maybe you’ve identified some more things that you wish to work on so you can progress further in your healing journey. Perhaps you just want to determine what you need to do to become the best you that you can be without being hindered by depression or anxiety. Either way, I'm glad you have found yourself here and no longer need to do this alone.
