Psychodynamic Therapists in Timnath, CO

Psychotherapy for adult women, couples and adolescents. Having practiced psychology for over 20 years I have a warm interactive style of therapy. My goal is to help you overcome difficulties in your life and to help you have more satisfying relationships. We do this in the context of honesty and kindness. I use different therapeutic styles (cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic , behavioral) depending on what works best for you. I am experienced with all of these modalities. Certainly, it is a privilege for me to help people get to the other side of the difficulties that life offers us all.

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling over things we "shouldn't" or feeling down, anxious, or stuck "for no reason." We often criticize ourselves for struggling or try to grin and bear it, but these options often make things worse or at best maintain the status quo. Therapy, however, can help us learn how to navigate life's challenges and be kinder to ourselves in the process. Within the context of a genuine, empathic, collaborative, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, my goal is to help you learn about yourself, and together move you towards living the life you want.

I want therapy to feel like an outlet for you and a space for you to grow. It is going to be work but should never feel like a burden. If you feel like you have lost yourself, or you have always been lost, we will work together to find the best version of you. This is your time to shine! We will focus on your strengths and look at what is working. The parts of your life that are not serving you we can explore and find solutions. We will take it a step at a time, no rush.

I strongly believe that YOU are the expert on yourself. That being said, at times it is helpful to have a trained professional to support you in exploring places you may feel stuck in life, unhelpful patterns, and strategies for growing and moving forward.

Accepting New Clients. Life, what a mysterious and rapidly changing place. Throughout this journey we seem to develop a lens through which we see the world. The lens gives us some sense of safety and consistency. Yet, sometimes this lens does not grow and change with the present moment. Therefore, we may be looking through a lens that no longer allows us to see the present moment for what it truly is. I see therapy as an opportunity to explore oneself and gain greater awareness of how we see and experience the world. Together we can find a lens that allows you to move through the ups and downs of life with presence and clarity.

Come, let's sit and chat where you can be heard and seen. "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." - (Fannie Lou Hamer) ... "I want to feel like I am enough." ... "I don't have any hope." ... "I don't know what to do to feel better." ... These are just a few things I've heard in my career. If this sounds like you, then I'd be happy to walk alongside you in your journey. There are many injustices, microaggressions, and systemic issues that oppress individuals and families, causing anxiety, trauma, and family conflict. Although this can impact your day-to-day life, there is hope and healing available to you.

I offer a range of specialty services that generally fall outside the typical categories and tend to use a “whole person” approach to treatment and stabilization, though over the last 10+ years of intensive couple’s and individual work I’ve treated almost everything and welcome all issues large or small, no matter the complexity. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as well as Spiritual Emergence Coaching and meditation training for issues where mental health and spirituality meet. Lastly, I offer specialty testing to precisely identify problems and diagnoses, then use these to best determine what treatment will be most helpful.

You are not alone, sister... Though you do your best to get up, get dressed (yoga pants count, ladies!) and smile while you uphold all your roles/responsibilities, you are actually living an anxious, panicked, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed life (or your daughter is). Your best version of YOU is locked away - longing. While you hope one day you'll just feel better, in the meantime you find yourself in the same place: struggling, anxious, frustrated, exhausted, detached, fearful, isolated, unsettled, desperate. I don't want you to settle for living this way any longer; there is hope and this does not have to be your "normal."

Sometimes life can bring us through difficult seasons. It is helpful when we know that we are not going through these times alone. I seek to provide a warm, nonjudgemental place for you to process your life experiences. As a counselor, I am committed to joining with you on a journey towards hope and healing.

It is my desire as a counselor to help women and children heal from trauma, navigate relationships, and overcome depression, anxiety, and body image issues. My counseling begins from the worldview that we are all deeply cared for by a God whose image we bear, and I seek to demonstrate that care to my clients.

You may be feeling disconnected from yourself, your partner(s), or your sexuality. By connecting to your emotions, learning to communicate effectively, and having open conversations about sex, you can have more fulfilling relationships and satisfying sex. If you are looking to improve your relationship(s), learn more about yourself, and gather tools for coping and communication, I can help. Additionally, if you are hoping to explore, discuss, reclaim, discover, and heal your sexuality, I may be just the therapist for you!

Over the past 20+ years I have focused on working with Couples and Individual Adults. My work with couples is informed by trainings with PACT and The Gottman Institute, among others. I strongly believe that helping people develop healthy relationships provides the foundation for a meaningful life. When we interact with compassion and respect for others, including ourselves, we tend to be happy and successful. During difficult times when depression or anxiety arise, the support of a trained professional can help you learn how to become your own best resource.
