MINES and Associates Therapists in Thornton, CO
I work with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change. Many are highly sensitive and intuitive, but feel disconnected from themselves. They often know what they “should” do, but something deeper gets in the way. I help them understand what’s underneath—through a holistic, nervous system and body-based approach—so they can feel more grounded, connected, and move forward in a way that actually lasts.

For 20+ years, I have enjoyed working with a diverse population of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. My clients have shaped how I practice. I work from a cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-informed foundation. I help clients develop and integrate new patterns into their lives that can bring them out of crisis, enhance their lives, and help them transition into their 'new normal'. I encourage clients to focus on what they can control, to activate in positive ways, and to problem solve. I'm chronically optimistic, and like to integrate humor and fun into sessions.

I believe one of the most meaningful things you can do is begin to understand your own story and how it shows up in the present moment. However, life's demands often get in the way of the understanding and change you desire. Perhaps you feel like you're constantly "doing the work," yet still stuck in the same cycles, disconnected from yourself or others. Life can feel like a collection of pressures from relationships, jobs, and our own internal expectations, leaving us exhausted and misunderstood. Maintaining appearances can be hard, especially when deep down you're struggling to understand why everything feels so heavy.

At its best, therapy is a space for intense self-discovery and exciting exploration. It is often true that the things we struggle with most lead us to encounters with our deepest values, and I am inspired by the way in which struggle can be transformed into strength and groundedness through careful, sensitive work. As a therapist, I’ll help you see the parts of you (your strengths, your challenges, your patterns) that have been invisible to you until now. After successful therapy, it should feel like you are seeing yourself clearly for the first time.

What if instead of living by the “shoulds,” you made space for the “coulds”?
Sometimes, we get so caught up in what we feel obligated to do or be that we lose touch with what we genuinely want and need. It’s easy to lose sight of yourself when you prioritize accommodating the needs of those around you. Therapy is a place to slow down, quiet the “shoulds,” and reconnect with yourself so you can live in alignment with your values.
