Anger Management Therapists in Woodland Park, CO

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.

I am passionate about creating a safe space for people experiencing challenges and transitions. I work with those seeking positive change who are ready to prioritize their well-being. Making changes and finding a path can be overwhelming, and I help people identify and reach their authentic goals.

I have worked in a Crisis setting for three years, counseling victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate I use modalities, such as HearthMath, Brainspotting and Trauma Focused-CBT, that help to reduce anxiety, depression, and aids them in finding strength within themselves.

My passion is to come along side individuals, couples and families to walk the journey of healing, change, recovery, and be present with and actively listen to them in the moment. I truly believe that each one of us has everything we need within us to make desired change. I do realize from my own journey that life can have many twists and turns, obstacles, hurtles and unexpected difficulties. My goal is to make an environment for you to feel comfortable and safe; enabling you to be willing to try to seek support.

I enjoy working with all people, serving clients during transitions, changes, or challenges that occur across their lifespan. I partner with clients to reach their goals, and aim to improve their overall quality of life.

I am passionate about meeting people where they are in life and helping them see that there is hope for their future. My focus is creating a safe space where people can learn to thrive.

For the past 20 years I've been an educator and school counselor working with adolescents from ages 6-18. This experience ignited a passion to merge my therapeutic skills with my educational background in order to make a positive impact on young lives in the community. My diverse expertise includes dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, school issues, parenting and caregiving, life transitions, self-discovery, and chronic illness to wellness.

I appreciate clients who may not yet have identified their goals as I like the challenge of developing goals with my clients and seeing them grow and progress over the course of therapy.

Have I ever been in therapy? Yes, and it was life-changing. My personal therapy inspired me to leave my previous profession as an architect and become a therapist to provide healing to others. My goal is to create a place of trust where you can share your life's stories, remove the blocks keeping you from a better life, help you find balance, and eliminate the swings from highs to lows. I believe we can work together to discover the source of your conflict, find your strength and understanding to resolve problems, and allow you to move toward new positive actions.

How's it going? I'm a counselor (LPC). I imagine you've come here because you are an individual, a parent of a child or adolescent, or a couple who's looking for a counselor. Why? Maybe you feel like you just can't escape personal feelings of inferiority or the ongoing effects of traumatic events of your past. Your behavior is hurting your relationships, and maybe you aren't even sure why. It could be that your day-to-day activities either stress you out or they no longer bring you meaning or joy. Or, maybe you just want to believe more in yourself and what you offer this world.
