Therapists in Parker, CO

I am dedicated to aiding parents, children and families to function cohesively by promoting healthy, meaningful and enriching relationships. I place a strong value on the bond between children and their parents. One of my goals as your counselor is to encourage parents through the use of psychoeducation on how to support your child's growth by working through developmental tasks and important milestones. I collaborate closely with parents to ensure that the work done in session is reflected in the home as well.

In working with children, I use the Synergetic Play Therapy modality, I integrate attachment, attunement and neuroscience in the healing process.

My counseling style is warm, somatic based, goal oriented, and intuitive. Counseling is an active and creative process, I tailor the counseling experience to uniquely fit each person.

Couples can find themselves in a place where they struggle to connect and end up in defense postures, feeling frustrated and disconnected. Often, there is healing that needs to take place as well as learning to see through each other's "lenses" to build a strong attachment that will last. Many individuals struggle with anxiety, depression, and past trauma, as well as negative thought cycles, leaving them stuck and miserable. It's common for teens to experience low self esteem and confusion about the future and where they belong. It is my pleasure to work with these clients and others, to help bring hope and healing.

Choosing a therapist is a difficult decision. I believe that the success of treatment relies heavily on the client/therapist relationship. I welcome potential clients calling me with questions in an effort to determine if I might be the right fit for them or their family.

Everyone has the ability to facilitate change from within, and I can help you understand where to begin.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes help from the right counselor can change everything.

Are you a high performing athlete or professional? Are you struggling with the pressures that come along with being a high performer? As an athlete or other high-performing professional, you are not immune to the barriers of life that everyone else faces. You get stressed, feel enormous pressure--"Am I good enough?", feel anxious, overwhelmed & sad. Have you been afraid of asking for help because that might be seen as weakness? And, instead of asking for help, maybe you used alcohol or drugs to cope with the normal stressors of life but you are finding that substances have made things worse, not better. It's time for a change.

My practice is primarily focused in working with couples and families. As an advanced level Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I am careful to ensure that everyone in the room with me feels heard and understood. I work with couples dealing with affairs, addictions, loss and trauma, as well as couples who just want to deepen their already strong connection. I welcome all families, traditional and non-traditional. I work from a theoretical model that emphasizes the importance of adult and childhood attachment. I am also an experienced EMDR practitioner with many years experience treating trauma, PTSD, and addictions.

When we struggle to make sense of our experiences (due to depression, anxiety, grief/loss, abuse/trauma, relational conflicts or new life stressors), we may seek any semblance of control over our situation, grasping for understanding of all the "whys" or seeking resolution/answers to pacify the "what if's." Simultaneously, sense-making may seem inaccessible or impossible. At times, we need someone to hold on to the hope, cultivate space for us to explore & express our story while also learning new tools to navigate. I use a relational, trauma-focused and empathic approach, curiously asking questions while also empowering clients.

Offering ONLINE sessions to Colorado/Florida/North Carolina women. It’s really hard to be a woman. We feel like all the pressure is on us and we keep trying so hard to do it perfectly, but life still isn’t going the way we planned. We have the pressure of career, children, keeping our romantic relationship going, finding time for a social life, and then we notice the past we’ve been running from creeps up. It can be exhausting, not to mention overwhelming.

Welcome! Counseling often begins during times of great struggle, but for many of my clients it quickly becomes a unique and transformative experience of healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change. I believe the wounds of our past (relational, physical, sexual, emotional, religious, cultural, etc) often intrude on our present in overt and covert ways. They lead us to believe limited and misleading stories about ourselves, the world & the people in our lives. I am passionate about working with individuals to overcome the dysregulation and self-defeating cycles of trauma and unexplored parts of ourselves that keep us stuck.

You can navigate this storm. Your struggles will not heal themselves! You can thrive through mindfulness practices that will re-condition you to better manage your thoughts/emotions. . .let's get to work!
