Therapists in Pueblo, CO

As a psychologist, I partner with clients to help them heal from raw emotional pain, recognize their inner strengths, and build resiliency in the face of life’s biggest challenges. My style is one that is warm and nurturing while also direct and honest. If you’re feeling stuck, not good enough, lonely, overwhelmed, devastated, or ashamed, you are not alone. I have dedicated my career to learning gold standard treatments to ensure that when clients have the courage to reach out for help, I am able to offer treatment interventions that they can trust will make a difference.

There are times when unexpected challenges, loss and seemingly ever-higher expectations overwhelm us. Unwanted repetitive thoughts may disrupt our sleep. We may isolate from friends and activities we previously enjoyed. We may experience dullness and a lack of energy. Counseling can help to ease the burden of life's painful and challenging circumstances. As a counselor, I appreciate the courage it takes to ask for help.

Do you feel overwhelmed, unhappy, or anxious? Are you grieving a loss or struggling with infertility? Maybe you are struggling with food, disordered eating or a negative body image. Are you looking to improve your relationships so you feel more at ease and satisfied in your life? Perhaps you are experiencing health issues that are impacting how you feel about yourself. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need someone outside our circle to listen, understand and support us through these challenges. If you are looking to make a change, I would be honored to assist you along your journey.

I want to help people who want to help themselves to have a more joyful and hopeful life. My focus is on your strengths, as I believe if we focus on our strengths, it is easier to overcome our challenges. As a counselor and a former school counselor and teacher, I have worked with adults, teens and children from all walks of life, including military and their families. I am empathetic and compassionate. My goal is that you gain more hope when working with me. I am grateful for every client I work with. In person therapy is offered to those who are vaccinated.

Do you struggle to trust people and simultaneously long for connection? Are you haunted by past experiences, and seemingly incapable of letting it go? Have you been treated for depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, sleep difficulties and relationship conflict only to find yourself stuck in the same endless patterns? Are you jumpy, tense, or easily triggered? Perhaps, you’re forgetful, clumsy and disconnected from your experiences. Regardless, you are not alone. When you are ready to process your trauma and reclaim your life, I’m here. You do not need to carry those burdens alone.

The Children’s Trauma Center (CTC) provides comprehensive trauma treatment for children ages 3-12. We use treatment models that have proven results. We also believe that imbalances in nutrition, movement, sleep, and connection with others, can have a significant impact on a child’s quality of life and ability to fully participate in effective trauma treatment. At CTC, we attend not only to the trauma treatment, but also to the child's overall health by providing therapeutic "whole health" activities in our indoor garden, kitchen and outdoor space.

I believe that finding the right therapist to assist you in your journey is often like finding a pair of shoes that has the right fit. This process can be arduous and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community as I identify as an LGBTQIA2S+ individual myself.

Let's focus on your strengths to create the life you want to be living! No matter what ails you: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma... even simpler things, such as relationships, work stress, or finding a more meaningful life... I can provide education, emotional skills, coping strategies, and a compassionate ear. As a CBT and ACT therapist, I use therapy and skill building, looking at the interplay between our beliefs and ideas, our experiences and environment, and our values and choices in life. I also address biopsychological concerns such as sleep, neuropsychological functioning, breathing, and fight or flight responses.

Making the decision to start therapy is not easy, and finding the right therapist can feel nearly impossible. I tell my clients that no one should be in therapy forever; rather, therapy provides an opportunity to process your experiences and learn strategies to keep moving forward as you ride the roller coaster of life. I value the implementation of therapeutic techniques supported by research while providing a nonjudgmental, supportive, strengths-based approach.

We enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who mindfully explore value-driven goals. We welcome you to share your strengths and primary concerns and we develop a measurable solution-focused plan to effect maximized solid change speedily. We identify what can change and what needs acceptance and how to create both. We compassionately offer skills/techniques to reduce anxiety/stress, improve sleep, mood, communication, and resiliently function. We identify triggers, images, thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences that cause difficulties and process them to create an optimally healthy mind.

We are happy that you are here, and we hope that we will get to walk alongside you for this portion of your life!

And here at KCAPS, we believe in supporting people to do just that. Together we may move between past, present, and future... healing, recovering, processing, liberating, exploring, problem-solving, building, empowering, etc depending on your goals and your needs.
